⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Donovan effectively utilizes the Club Blue hotel as a character itself, weaving an eerie Art Deco backdrop with the protagonist's psychological unraveling. The narrative succeeds in portraying the heavy toll of ignoring warning signs, blending supernatural threats with the realistic pressures of raising teenagers alone. While it lacks complex magical systems, its strength lies in the claustrophobic atmosphere and the tension between professional drive and familial safety. It suits readers who enjoy gothic settings and character-driven horror, though those seeking lighthearted romance or pure action may find the tone too heavy and isolating.
