This book was a fun ride. Fast-paced, good horror and a fun format of mixing online content, found footage and the story itself. There was descriptive body horror, classic ghost, possession, dark entities and more. I enjoyed the paranormal show plot device and thought it worked well.

However the haunted hotel is its own character and point of view and it moves in different tenses and at some points seems to have knowledge of things that happen outside of the hotel which didn’t make sense. Without that piece I think this would have been nearly a 5 star read!
