Publisher's summary

The Haunting of Hill House meets Nina LaCour in this spine-chilling horror YA about the ghosts we carry with us.

Something is building, simmering just out of reach.

The room is watching. But Mira and Layla don't know this yet. When the two best friends are stranded on their spring break college tour road trip, they find themselves at the Wildwood Motel, located in the middle of nowhere, Indiana. Mira can't shake the feeling that there is something wrong and rotten about their room. Inside, she's haunted by nightmares of her dead brother. When she wakes up, he's still there.

Layla doesn't see him. Or notice anything suspicious about Room 9. The place may be a little run down, but it has a certain charm she can’t wait to capture on camera. If Layla is being honest, she’s too preoccupied with confusing feelings for Mira to see much else. But when they learn eight people died in that same room, they realize there must be a connection between the deaths and the unexplainable things that keep happening inside it. They just have to find the connection before Mira becomes the ninth.

Listeners won't be able to stop listening to this edge-of-your-seat thriller!

That ENDING!

Some spoilers ahead. This book was truly lovely. A quick story that took me about 2 days to finish(listening on and off) and reminded me of the stories by mike flanagan but with more teen queer anxiety and love.

Properly paced and keeping me guessing, it draws you in slowly, similar to what the Room does. Slowly consuming the reader.

At times i thought some of the inner monologues were a bit too lengthly, but when finishing and upon reflection they seem to perfectly fit the pacing and the character of the Room.

I enjoyed the alternate perspectives and the three narrators. It really kept me in the story. Highly suggest for a quick little thriller mystery novel with diversity and queerness.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
