I do think that there was a bit of repetitiveness.
No thank you! I do appreciate that these ghosts aren’t here to just scare the reader, or the characters – they’re here for the purposes of the mystery within. And I certainly wouldn’t do it after noticing weird happenings – smells, noises, doors opening… um, yeah. I don’t think I’d ever work the night shift at a hotel that’s practically in the middle of nowhere. This story has a delicious dark, eerie and ghostly feel to it. (Hello good old ’80s vibes – I am never unhappy about these kinds of references!) Carly has arrived to Fells and The Sun Down Motel to see what may have happened in the disappearance of her aunt, Viv and ends up finding out way more than was expected.
Spanning two different timelines, this one runs in the early 80s and then in 2017. This is my second by her and I found it somewhat similar to The Broken Girl, which I read a couple of years ago.
This author has a way with writing ghostly, atmospheric reads. But something isn’t right at the Sun Down, and before long she’s determined to uncover all of the secrets hidden… Viv Delaney works as the night clerk to pay for her move to New York City. Some are locals, trying to hide their secrets. Some customers are from out of town, passing through on their way to someplace better. Every small town like Fell, New York, has a place like the Sun Down Motel. The secrets lurking in a rundown roadside motel ensnare a young woman, just as they did her aunt thirty-five years before, in this new atmospheric suspense novel from the national bestselling and award-winning author of The Broken Girls.
