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 1982 Carly's aunt Viv Delaney moved to New York City and got a job as the night clerk at the Sun Down Motel in Fell, New York. It's 2017 and Carly wants to find out what happened to Aunt Viv because she mysteriously disappeared from the Sun Down before Carly was born. Carly moves to Fell, New York and visits the motel. She soon finds herself involved with the same mysteries that claimed her aunt. This is a creepy ghost story and mystery full of secrets. It is a dark and twisted story with an ending I didn't see coming. The story switches back and forth between 1982 and 2017 with two points of view. Simone St. James is an excellent writer and kept the pages turning. If you enjoy the supernatural, then you will enjoy this book.
