I feel like Simone St. James might be a one-trick pony. I loved the broken girls, but this felt like déjà vu.
I'm writing this review with such a heavy heart. The synopsis screams DEBBIE, READ ME! The cover screams DEBBIE, READ ME! The end result screamed ZzzzzZzZzz.
The story is told from two POV's across two different timelines. Usually not a problem for me....unless I'm bored to death apparently. Viv ( past) and Carly (present) are so similar that more than once I forgot who's chapter I was reading. Or it read like the same chapter back to back. Not even the ending saved it for me.
What makes this all the sadder is that The Sun Down Motel itself is quite creepy. The descriptions there were deliciously eerie and atmospheric. But that wasn't enough to stop me from putting this book down numerous times before finally finishing it.
This book had me hooked from the beginning. I was invested in all the characters, even the ones that didn't seem to move the story along. The way the author writes has you intrigued every chapter. I do have to say I wasn't fond of the ending and I still have some questions about it. Other than that I think if you are looking for a good thriller mystery this is your book !
