There’s no doubt about that, and some parts of the book are pretty damn creepy. And, yes, there are definitely ghosts haunting the Sun Down Motel. James was The Haunting Of Maddy Clare, I was expecting her new book to deliver another bone-chilling ghost story. So, if you find yourself stalling a bit, just keep going. After that point, I raced through the book. The second half of the book sucked me in, though, and once a major twist was revealed, I grew way more interested in what was happening. I was constantly flipping back through pages, going, Wait, who did that happen to? What year am I in? Didn’t this already happ - oh, wait, no, no, that was in the other narrative….
It’s a good set up, but the time periods parallel each other so closely that sometimes I had a hard time remembering which one I was in, or which character was telling the story.
James’ previous novel, The Broken Girls, there are two narratives, past and present, and the ones in The Sun Down Motel eerily mirror each other. It took me awhile to get into the first half of the novel, quite honestly. James conveys through her kick-ass female protagnoists and supporting characters. What I do really like about The Sun Down Motel is the overall message author Simone St. While I came to appreciate it in the end, it’s not as gripping as I thought it would be. It had a hard time keeping my interest, though, up until a certain point. The Sun Down Motel is a good book the story it delivers is solid and keeps you guessing.
I was quarantined, but I figured, Hey, I got THE book I was waiting for, so NBD.Įhhh, not quite. I was so excited when it came in from my local library just before they closed down because of COVID-19. I’d been eagerly anticipating this one for months, especially after seeing SO much love for it from readers and other book bloggers. The Sun Down Motel gave me mixed feelings.
