The Midnight Knock

Welp! I thought I would love this one about strangers who come together at the Brake Inn Motel, an isolated motel in Texas. I loved the ‘trapped’ feeling in books and this book fit that bill. Strangers who come to a remote motel who find that they are repeating the same day repeatedly (think Groundhog Day). They are all fleeing something. They all have things in their past they would rather no one else know. They are drawn to this motel at the base of a mammoth mountain but why??????? When a woman turns up dead, things become more tense and questions swirl through the air.

I feel as if I read a different book from everyone else. I found this book to be too slow, and I hate to say this but boring. I wanted something to happen and even when it did, it failed to impress me. Mostly because it took too long to get there.

What did work was the feeling of isolation, tension, and atmosphere in this book. I could feel the remoteness and the sense of unease.

Others enjoyed this book more than I did, so please read their reviews as well.

Thank you to Atria Books and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
