Description

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Something hasn’t been right at the roadside Sun Down Motel for a very long time, and Carly Kirk is about to find out why in this chilling new novel from the New York Times bestselling and award-winning author of The Broken Girls.

Upstate New York, 1982. Viv Delaney 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 in Fell, New York. But something isnʼt right at the motel, something haunting and scary.

Upstate New York, 2017. Carly Kirk has never been able to let go of the story of her aunt Viv, who mysteriously disappeared from the Sun Down before she was born. She decides to move to Fell and visit the motel, where she quickly learns that nothing has changed since 1982. And she soon finds herself ensnared in the same mysteries that claimed her aunt.

The author did a phenomenal job of telling one story through two perspectives. Throughout the book, the reader should find themself in awe of how well the author pieces together two timelines. This book was impossible to put down thanks to the suspenseful storytelling.

Now after finishing it, I find myself wanting to discuss the reading with anyone else who read the book!

Thank you Simone St. James for this book as it reignited my passion for reading!
A must read!

It’s often hard for me to find a book that really catches my interest. It didn’t take but a few pages of this book to draw me in. Very well written & all questions answered by the end of the book. A 10/10! Best book I’ve read in years!!
Very engaging “ghost” story

I am happy I stuck with a somewhat slow start. Some books capture your attention and some take longer. Or it was my state of mind. I was kept guessing and lots of plot twists and authentic characters, good and evil. Fun scary not gore.
Lost an entire day!

Page-turner, like a Stephen King novel. I feel like I know Fell similar to the way I came to know Bangor, Maine. This was a living, breathing story … best one I’ve enjoyed in a very long time!
