This short story got swallowed by how unnecessarily convoluted it was. It tried to tackle too much all at once and toppled over from the weight of it all. I don‘t recommend.

An awesome short novella from Lisa Unger that had me reading it without putting it down.It was such an atmospheric read, even more than I was expecting for a short novella.This book definitely packed a punch way above its weight.I was hooked on the seedy, motel on the side of the road. With no other guest but a very obliging hotel owner when you are on the run from the police and a boyfriend, sometimes you seek shelter wherever you can.Creepy⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Eve, traveling alone, running from someone, stops at a motel to rest for the night. She is the only gust. A single man runs the hotel. Eve hears strange noises at night, indicating there is at least one other guest, but no evidence is found. Something is definitely amiss… I liked the story well enough. The ending was confusing with a rapid switch to Eve at the motel and the event that led Eve to flee. I didn‘t really care for the confusion. 👻

Oooh this was even better than the first book in the series! I never for even a moment suspected that ending until it was happening. So good, but then I wouldn't expect anything less from Lisa Unger!

“We cling to our ideas of people, don‘t we? We hold on tight even when all evidence points to something else.“
Well if that isn't the truth I don't know what is. 👏
This short story was well-written, but predictable. In the last year, I've read two stories with either a similar beginning or a similar ending. I didn't find it creepy either. Kind of a “meh“ for me.
