⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Wurth effectively merges contemporary urban settings with supernatural horror, creating a tense atmosphere around the Brown Palace hotel mystery. The strength lies in its focus on Olivia’s internal struggle against grief and betrayal, rather than just external scares. This approach suits readers who prefer psychological depth alongside paranormal elements. However, those seeking lighthearted horror or purely academic studies of hauntings may find it unsatisfying. The book succeeds by grounding its supernatural events in personal history, offering a nuanced exploration of identity and loss for fans of Wurth’s previous work.
