The Sun Down Motel - Simone St. James

Horror/Thriller

Rating: 7.5/10

1982 – Viv wants to move to New York City, and to help pay for it she takes a job as the night clerk at the Sun Down Motel.  But something isn’t quite right. It would seem that there has been a murder…

2017 – Carly has never been able to let go of the story of her aunt Viv, who mysteriously disappeared before she was born. She decides to visit the motel and soon finds herself ensnared in the same mystery.

Here in one package is a compelling family drama, a modern ghost story and a gripping mystery.  All ready for the reader to unwrap one page at a time.

If I could only choose one word to describe this book, it would be spooky. This talented author delivers a taut thriller with plenty of twists and things that go bump in the night.

Expertly plotted, brimming with 80’s nostalgia and supernatural ambience, this book might keep you up reading late into the night.

Footnote: The author dedicated the book to the “odd girls, the nerdy girls, and the murderinos.” Gifting that audience with a macabre love letter. We thank her!
