As we welcome the Rowe family to our beautiful clifftop hotel, a shadow passes over my husbandβs face. In that moment I see it: my husband is hiding a terrible secret. Has he put us all in danger?
Mark and I pride ourselves on giving visitors to our hotel, high on the rugged Maine cliffs with views of the ocean, a vacation they wonβt forget. But the Rowes arestrangely over-familiar when they arrive with their teenage daughter. The wife puts a hand on Markβs forearm and her husband meets my eyes with a knowing look as I hold my little son tight. They gush that they loved their previous stay hereβ¦ But Iβm certain Iβve never seen them before.
Mark reassures me that the Rowes are just being friendly. We have so many visitors, maybe we forgot meeting them. When I am locked in the master bedroom for over an hour, he later soothes my panic and says it was just an accident. But I know one of the Rowes was out in the hallway listening to me cry for help. I hear one of them whispering a lullaby to my baby on his monitor. I cannot trust these people.
But as the relentless icy rain gives way to the biggest blizzard of the season and we become cut off, I realize my son and I are trapped. Mark knows more about the Rowes than heβs letting on. Iβll do anything to protect my gorgeous baby boy. But how far will I have to go, to keep him safe?
The Hotel is a totally twisty locked room thriller that you wonβt be able to put down. Fans of Shalini Boland, Freida McFadden and Jeneva Rose will be glued to the pages!
