A friend recommended this, and I saw it mentioned in my FB groups. I had a bit of a wait but was happy the hold came in during "spooky" season/October.  While this kept my interest while I was immersed in the book, as it ended and I reflect on it ... there just seemed to be so many things that were unexplained. Red herrings. Little tidbits just 'there' without coming back to tie-in to the story in any way. 

SPOILERS

We know why Betty haunts the hotel, but why the little boy (he was hurt there, but didn't die there, and it was an accident) and the manager (he died there, but still ... he doesn't serve any purpose, that I remember). Why the whole back story for Nick - was it important that his father heard voiced (not related to the girls hearing voices, you think there might be a connection, but no). Why all the descriptions of Heather in her big coats, the cold air around her ... I know I wasn't the only one who thought she might be a ghost, but no, just the author playing with the reader. Why couldn't Viv have just claimed self-defense? She had been attacked (even if it wasn't by  Simon Hess) ... honestly, when that attack was happening, I was going to be pretty frustrated if he whole time Viv had been killed by some random guy not connected to all the other stuff. There were just so many conveniences and coincidences that if one stops to think about it, the suspension of disbelief is too much, even for a ghost story. Viv just happens to be a perfect mimic to recreate voices and impersonate people as needed, the "teen girl figures out everything the police can't" trope, that she just happens to get dropped a ton of money when she needs to take off, that she happens to know a guy who knows people who can set her up with a new identity. That she can come back to a tiny little town and have no one recognize her.

Two timelines -- no numerical chapters, just the POV  of Viv (3rd person/past tense, in 1982) and Carly (1st person/past tense, in 2017). This "chapter" setup makes it really hard to find one's spot between formats. I had this out in both audio and kindle. I went primarily with the audio and I was glad I didn't need to find my spot in the text (but I referred to the Kindle copy a lot afterward, reviewing, checking).  I was really glad for the two different narrators, distinctive voices for the two timeline/characters. 

ProFanity (x20). I also noticed the word "rifled" used several (6) times. It's just a word I note, and did the author mean rifled or riffled, and did the narrator get the pronunciation correct? Here, I do think rifled was the correct term, but to have someone be "rifling" through things six times in the book seemed like a lot of rifling. 

So, for me, it was fine, kept my interest, but not one I'd rave about.
