A woman on the run finds refuge in a motel at the edge of the woods, with plenty of vacancies. Check in for the night with New York Times bestselling author Lisa Unger.

Eve has a fake ID, a .38, and a violent lover receding in the rearview mirror. He’ll never find her at the isolated motel, and its kindly manager is happy to ease her fears. But if Eve is the only guest, whom does she keep hearing on the other side of the wall? Eve won’t get a good night’s rest until she finds out.

Lisa Unger’s The Sleep Tight Motel is part of Dark Corners, a collection of seven heart-stopping short stories by bestselling authors who give you so many new reasons to be afraid. Each story can be read in a single sitting. Or, if you have the nerve, you can listen all by yourself in the dark.

If you can get past the narration, it's a great story. Intense with a pretty amazing twist that I didnt see coming.

Lisa Unger is a NYT best selling author, and indeed this is a well-written story. Unfortunately, the narration by Amy Landon is so bad that I nearly stopped listening just a few minutes into the story. I'm glad I didn't. The story carried the day. But I won't buy another book narrated by Landon. Her voice is robotic with no warmth.

So back to the story. A young woman, fleeing from an abusive boyfriend, pulls into an out-of-the way motel. The owner is very attentive to her needs, and she wants to like him. But she's got to get back on the road. Unfortunately, her car won't start and she is stuck. This is really where the story begins to unfold. To go any further would be to introduce spoilers. You'll have to read it for yourself. I do recommend reading it rather than listening to the audiobook. I think the experience will be much better.

Spellbinding story ruined by robotic narrator

Overall the kind of story I was looking for— a slow burn with an atmosphere of mystery and intrigue, mixed with some subtle foreshadowing and symbolic imagery. Definitely a literary style that works for me in this genre.

The type or story I was in the mood for and want to listen to the rest of the series.

I prefer longer stories but this was interesting. Easy to listen to and follow. Enjoyed the characters and the ending was a bit of a surprise. Worth the listen!

Interesting but short

Why is he protecting her? I was starting to think her protector was going to be worse than the partner she escaped! Great twist!

Never saw it coming!

Awesome

This audiobook was okay. Kind of slow moving and a little confusing until it all kind of comes together in the end with the mild shock. Nothing spectacular about it at all.

OKAY.
