Mehso-so

This had potential: a professional conference goer gets tangled up in a corporate-House-of-Leaves-esque situation. It starts slow, but with hints of the freakiness to come and I got drawn in.

Sadly, I found the final third got dull very quickly despite containing the bulk of the action.

Last night, I fell asleep with about 5 pages remaining.

With its sexist ass of an MC & uninspired ending, I can't go higher than ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3 stars.

Hooked_on_books Well that‘s a bummer. Cool cover, though! 12mo
Branwen That cover is trippy! 😵‍💫 12mo
RaeLovesToRead @Hooked_on_books @Branwen If House of Leaves is "oh no, my house is trying to eat me", The Way Inn is "oh no, this hotel is trying to eat me!" Haha 12mo

"I needed no one particular woman because there were plenty of other women and they were all basically interchangeable. And seeing them that way didn't make me even slightly guilty, because I am sure they saw me in a similar way."

Ugh. This guy! Amirite?! ??‍♀️??‍♀️??‍♀️

Cuilin Yeah, the objectification of women, right? If you see us as an object we‘re just interchangeable things. 😣 12mo
RaeLovesToRead @Cuilin I hope the MC is supposed to be an arse! Otherwise Mr Wiles has some explaining to do, haha. 12mo
Cuilin @RaeLovesToRead yes or some strongly worded op Ed‘s shall be written. 😆 12mo

Soubhiville What?! Ugh. 12mo
RaeLovesToRead @Cuilin @Soubhiville I suspect that the MC's attitude is supposed to reflect the identikit nature of the environment he's inhabiting. That kind of everything is the same everywhere vibe. But REALLY?!?! Could he sound any more of a sexist bell end. 12mo
Susanita He sounds like a real catch! 😳 12mo
quietlycuriouskate What a treasure he is, to know how women perceive. Let me sit at his knee and take notes. 🤨 12mo
DaveGreen7777 😳😳😳 The title is wrong! To put it in Star Wars terms (because I‘m a nerd 🤓) “This is NOT the way!” 12mo
RaeLovesToRead @Susanita @quietlycuriouskate @DaveGreen7777 I'm really hoping that the MC is supposed to be a bit of a douche... Still made me do a double take! 😂 *light sabre emoji for Dave* 12mo
Branwen Ugh. 😒 12mo

I highly recommend this mind twisting thrill ride! Think Palahniuk, meets Vonnegut after reading King's Shinning. You do not want to "Overlook" this gem. Once you let your mind INN you may never be able to get it OUT.
