A review by booksandbraids
The Sun Down Motel by Simone St. James
4.0
This book was very good. It was the perfect combination of a ghost story and a murder mystery.
My only issue with the book is the whole Heather situation. It seemed overly convenient that the girl currently living in her aunt’s old apartment is looking for a roommate just for the sake of company and also is super into true crime and they instantly became BFFs… When the book started that I was convinced I would hate the entire book unless there was some twist to help justify that stupid over convenience. Luckily the rest of the book was so good it was able to overcome that major shortcoming.
Also, this book was definitely a book of the modern age because were almost too many strong independent problem solving female characters.
