Meadowbrook has been many things throughout the years, a hotel, a psychiatric facility, even a casino, but no matter what it's called or how it's styled, the truth cannot remain hidden for long.

The disorienting sense of jumping time with each chapter - or even within a chapter - added a wonderfully unsettling feeling to the story, and worked perfectly to build suspense while also giving hints about Meadowbrook's purpose throughout the years. Filled with both charred ruins and opulent lobbies, darkened staircases and ornate fountains, this labyrinthine building is the embodiment of a liminal space. Eerie, surreal, and a character all in itself.

When it came to the end of the book I honestly wished it would have continued, if only to delve further into the side characters. There were a handful of loose threads I'd have loved to pull on to learn a bit more about the time-hopping and it's rules. Yet perhaps that's part of the joy of a horror novel like this, you don't get all of the answers, which means there's always a bit of mystery that survives and keeps you thinking.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Thank you to Cassandra L. Thompson, Quill & Crow Publishing House, and Book Sirens.
