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 USA Today bestselling and award-winning author of The Broken Girls.
Upstate NY, 1982. Every small town like Fell, New York, has a place like the Sun Down Motel. Some customers are from out of town, passing through on their way to someplace better. Some are locals, trying to hide their secrets. Viv Delaney works as the night clerk to pay for her move to New York City. But something isn’t right at the Sun Down, and before long she’s determined to uncover all of the secrets hidden there.
Upstate NY, 2017. Carly Kirk has always been fascinated by her aunt Viv who disappeared from the Sun Down before Carly was born. Using a small inheritance from when her mom dies, Carly leaves college to go to Fell to figure out what happened to her aunt thirty-five years ago.
Soon, Carly is mirroring her aunt’s life, working as the night clerk at the motel, which hasn’t changed since 1982. The guest book is still handwritten, the rooms still have actual keys, and a haunting presence still lingers. Carly discovers that Viv had been trying to unravel mysteries of her own—including a possible serial killer working in Fell. If Carly can find the answers Viv was searching for, she might be able to solve the mystery that has haunted her family for years.

Heretical Review
Format: Kindle
Wow, what a fun book!
I fell in love with the protagonist on the first page only to have to deal with one of the best plot twists of the genre. Well done.
Fischer is a genuinely nice guy. He cares about others, treats them with respect and does not expect that they conform to his world.
I love the dopey way he makes his way through life, seemingly unaware of what is going on around him, but trusting his friends to, well, be his friends.
We end with a few loose ends, but that happens in a serialization, right?
Lots of anime and pop-culture references for the reader to enjoy, along with some deep philosophical moments. Fischer is a deep well.
Enjoy the book! Looking forward to book two!
Cheers!

It is fantasy but unlike most fantasies. The mystery is what exactly makes this book so addictive.
Format: Kindle
I really enjoyed this book. It is fantasy but unlike most fantasies. So far no armies or mages but a fair amount of what looks like supeernational but accompanied by a voice that announces improvements in a computer like mode.
The main character is an Aussie. It's funny, clever and touching. It is not deep but it works.
In trying to avoid his previous life in another world, he keeps things light and tries to help thew locals who live in a culture and a political system he doesn't understand. His entire goal is to fish as much as possible in a place where everything related to the ocean is hearsay.
I just keep reading.
The mystery is what exactly makes this book so addictive. I've read the second and the third is waiting for me.
I read on.

fun
Format: Kindle
Fischer was an international billionaire who walked away from it all and met truck-kun. Now he’s in a tropical paradise with a unpowered System, and living his best life as a fisherman. He befriends many people and begins awakening people and animals as cultivators without trying to. Some see him as a hurdle to be removed, but his new friends deal with it without bothering him. In the end Fischer has the friends he’s always wanted and a love interest.
This is a good swift, king, slice of life story. There’s loads of humor, great pacing, wonderful narrator, and an interesting world. It reminds me of “Beware of Chicken” in its wholesomeness and enjoyability. I’ve already gone to the next in the series! Please enjoy

Just a dude chillin’, fishin’, and making the most of life.
Format: Kindle
If you want a book that makes you wanna grab a fishing rod and just take it easy, this is the one for you. It’s got some elements of progression/cultivation, but this is first and foremost about fishing and friendship. The author puts so much detail into the eating and cooking of the fish on here, it almost made me forget I don’t like the taste of fish!

G'day mate!
Format: Kindle
I frequently heard this was good, but it's taken me a long time to get around to checking it out for myself. Happy to say the testimonials didn't disappoint. If a book could give you the feeling of a lazy day on a pontoon boat casually casting over the side and drinking some spiked lemonade while the radio plays... This is probably as close as it gets. Humorous premise, entertaining characters, cozy moments.
