Black Hotel - Renee Wakefield
This week I finished Black Hotel by Renee Wakefield. I have very conflicted feelings over this book for a couple reasons. First, I thought that the first part of the book was fantastic. It was written so well and it flowed wonderfully, until around chapter 16 - that's when the constant typos began to infiltrate the story. For those of you who have been following this Blog, you are already well aware that significant amounts of typos completely ruin the flow of a story for me. That stayed true with this book and it's such a shame, because the underlying story was awesome, it kind of reminded me of the movie 1408, and I love that movie!
Second, the story took a turn somewhere around the middle of the book, and again near the ending chapters. Those twists and turns threw me off just a little bit, but it all somehow fit together into one fantastic story.
The only thing I would recommend for this author in the future - is for her to get a proofreader before publishing her books. Everything else was pretty on point, and I very much enjoyed my journey into Black Hotel.
This is the story of Jack and his best friend Merch. Jack is in his late 30's and has yet to find his place in the world. He goes from one dead end job to another, until one day he randomly stumbles upon the beautiful gothic Black Hotel that's stashed in the very industrial part of town.
When Jack becomes the night watch at the hotel, he starts to think he's going crazy because he starts to see ghosts, and finds himself very drawn to room 8. Jack is a little bit - different, and his best friend is very aware of that. Merch finds himself trying to believe his best friends' stories of the ghosts, and he ultimately takes matters into his own hands to help Jack. The two of them make things so much worse than they need to be, but there are still so many things the two of them need to learn.
Hop aboard the express train and welcome to Black Hotel!
This book gets my overall rating of a 3.9/5
