    Don't let the cover fool you lol this book was pretty disappointing lol. Here are my thoughts :

    Pros

    ✰ Okay lets be real the cover is gorgeous (mainly bc it's pink lol)
    ✰ The creepy hotel vibes reminded me of AHS & Lock Every Door by Riley Sager so that was cool
    ✰ The vibes & the way this was written reminds me a little of Bunny by Mona Awad - like half the time you're like wtf am I reading lol
    ✰ Most of this was pretty scary to me, like had me holding my breath lol

    Cons

    ✰ The story just kinda jumped into her being missing - we didn't really get to know her & I wish we got to see more of the events leading up to her disappearance
    ✰ Too much time is passing too quickly - like 10 pages ago it was April & now it's October??
    ✰ The ending was soooo disappointing


    Overall Thoughts

    This book is like if someone tried to mix Black Mirror & AHS together and it failed dramatically lol. But because there were some genuinely creepy moments this book wasn't the worst & it's worth giving it a try if you're in slump or want something short
