About:
Hotel Lilith holds terrible memories for Cait Du Bois.
The darkest night of her life happened within its walls.
Once, she vowed never to return to the place that reminds her of the horror she experienced. But when the hotel is chosen as the location for her high school reunion, Cait finds herself unable to resist the appeal of showing off her new life to the people who once made her existence miserable.
Cait is no stranger to being noticed in public, especially as a bestselling author with an enthusiastic fan base, but back at Hotel Lilith, she was once recognized for a completely different reason. With all eyes on her as she returns to the town she’s spent years running from, Cait finds it increasingly difficult to discern between her fans and foes.
Haunted by the memory of a night that torments her, she resolves to put the past behind her and move on.
No one knows the truth about what happened back then.
At least, that’s what she’s always believed.
Shortly after her arrival, strange things begin to occur. A mysterious package, strange calls, and frightening text messages seem to be just the beginning of the nightmare about to unfold.
Someone is determined to bring the truth to light. If they succeed, the life Cait has built based on secrets could come crashing down around her. And, if they want her to pay for what she’s done, her lies may be the least of her concerns.
Someone’s out for blood.
Review:
Compelling and gripping, this is one book you cannot put down, but, if you have to drag yourself away from it, picking up where you left off is really easy once more.
Having never read Kiersten Modglin books before this one was kindly gifted me to read and review. I will definitely be reading more of her books and cannot recommend them highly enough.
The story unfolds slowly but gives you enough bait to keep you wanting to find out more. It is not easy to work out who is behind the death of her childhood friend or the mysterious calls and package so don’t try, just go with the flow, but it does make you think, do we really know who are friends are no matter how long we have known them. This culprit was hiding in plain sight the whole time luling the main character into a false sense of security.
Keirsten also gives us food for thought on how we judge others and that we should definitely never judge a book by it’s cover.
