The Sun-Down Motel by Simone St. James
                     (Guilty Pleasure)

Carly's Aunt Viv disappeared 35 years ago and no one would ever say anything about her. So Carly leaves college and goes to the small town where Viv was last seen.  She even gets the same job at the same creepy motel where her aunt worked.

Strange things happen at the motel,  flickering lights, doors that open and close on their own, footsteps are heard but no one is there and the smell of cigarette smoke.   Is the motel haunted, by who??

Chapters alternate between Viv in 1982 and Carly 2017.   This is a really creepy book and it didn't help that I was traveling and stayed at the Baymont Hotel that had a flickering light near our room.  I just hoped that the lights didn't go out nor would I smell cigarette smoke!!!!
