Viv and Carly both had cool roommates who helped them solve their various mysteries. Again, nobody really paid any attention to her. Then you’ve got Carly, who left home to find out what happened to her Aunt Viv, who disappeared from the Sun Down one night without a trace. Nobody believed that there was anything that needed solving, so she jumped in. She’s a Nancy Drew type who paid a lot of attention, started connecting dots, and made it her quest to stop a serial killer who was preying on women. You’ve got Viv, who left home to go into show business in NYC but actually just wanted to get away from her family. Strong women is a huge theme in this story. These were strong women to put up with working there.Ģ.
Doors would open and closed by themselves, the lights would flicker or go completely out, there were voices and footsteps… It’s just a very scary place. Well, except the man with the noisy shoes who smoked outside every night. Both women go to the point where they knew the ghosts and talked to them. It’s run-down, outdated, and full of noises, mysterious smells, and questionable guests. Nobody would ever actually want to say there, and that made it way creepier. This motel is the epitome of everything repulsive.
Viv was there as a means to an end, and Carly was there to find out what happened to her Aunt Viv. Viv (1982) and Carly (2017) both worked at The Sun Down, each for their own reasons. It was just so creepy (sometimes too creepy), and I enjoyed that uncomfortable feeling it gave me. The atmosphere was definitely my favorite part of the story. The Sun Down Motel is full of strong women, creepy ghosts, and a mystery that spans decades. I love a good creepy thriller this time of year, and am always on the hunt for the elusive atmospheric writing, so I when I was approached by Berkley to join the blog tour for The Sun Down Motel I was definitely excited about it. But something isn't right at the Sun Down, and before long she's determined to uncover all of the secrets hidden… Viv Delaney works as the night clerk to pay for her move to New York City. Some are locals, trying to hide their secrets. Some customers are from out of town, passing through on their way to someplace better. Every small town like Fell, New York, has a place like the Sun Down Motel.
The secrets lurking in a rundown roadside motel ensnare a young woman, just as they did her aunt thirty-five years before, in this new atmospheric suspense novel from the national bestselling and award-winning author of The Broken Girls. Genres: Mystery, Paranormal, Suspense, Thriller Published by Berkley on February 18, 2020
