The Last Room on the Left was a solid, gripping read that kept me hooked from start to finish. The multiple POVs added an interesting dynamic, and I was genuinely invested in discovering what would happen next. The isolated, wintery motel setting was perfect for a chilling atmosphere, and I loved the suspense it created. 

 

However, the ending left me a bit disappointed. After all the build-up and tension, it felt a bit flat, especially with so many twists throughout the story. I also found myself tiring of the "drunk, crazy female" trope, which is becoming a bit overdone for me. 

 

That being said, it’s a great choice if you’re after a popcorn thriller with a locked-room mystery vibe. The cover is striking and definitely catches the eye. I wouldn’t compare it to *The Shining* though—that’s a bit of a stretch. Still, if you’re into atmospheric thrillers with plenty of suspense, this one’s worth the read.
