    About this audiobook

    The latest chilling frightfest from horror master K. R. Alexander . . . this time centering around a spooky hotel where guests doNOT check out the way they check in.

    When Jasmine moves to Gold River after her mother's death, she finds herself powerfully drawn to the Carlisle, an abandoned hotel on the edge of town. It appears in her nightmares and calls to her during the day.

    It's a local tradition in Gold River for kids to try to stay a night in the Carlisle without being scared away. When Jasmine hears about this, she convinces her friends to join her. How hard can it be to stay up all night in an abandoned old building?

    Only... the building isn't abandoned. There are plenty of people staying there -- dead people. And once you walk into the hotel, they will do everything possible to stop you from checking out.

      The audio narrator wasn’t my absolute favorite, but overall she did a good job and I would be okay listening to her read others.

      This middle grade novel was better than the last two YA horror novels I’ve encountered and I’m pleasantly surprised! I guessed at the ending… but not for a while. The horror was not terrifying, but pretty legit for middle grade. And the story was interesting. I would honestly recommend.

      With me usually LOVING his works as an author....he usually can scare the hell out of me; this one did not do that for me. Though it is still a great, read for someone just getting into the 'ghosts' and horror genre. He is one gifted author. Still would recommend this one though.

      It was a unique and horrific adventure. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good horror novel.
