Lutz has a great talent for story telling. The story if spooky, creepy, and I loved the characters and setting. This was a great read and I highly recommend it for people who are looking for something a little spooky and wanting a good character to follow.

After having similar reoccurring dreams about a local hotel, three teenagers discover a dark past of their small Texan town and the thing that may just destroy it. The main one of the three being Quinn, who has psychic abilities and seemingly the strongest connection to supernatural incidents at the hotel.

This book is marketed as a horror novel, but I think that may be doing it a disservice. There was not as much horror as I suspected. In fact, the main entity does not show up on page that often, and takes a while to appear. The crux of this book really is the town and people of Gypsum, there’s just a supernatural element to the story. It’s unfortunate, because the monstrous part of the story was the most entertaining.

Speaking of supernatural, reading this gave the vibes of an old episode of the TV show Supernatural, particularly the local haunts in small towns. The mystery element was interesting enough to keep me engaged, the book was enjoyable enough, though there was ultimately something lacking for me.
