Another short story in the Silentsomnia realm, Getaway Lodge - The Descent Below by Tully Oldin, races at breakneck speed into the next episode in the storyline. Delicate finds herself swept into the deeply troubling world that consumed Mark and Anya in the preceding chapter.

Feeling responsible for the outcome,  she seeks answers, but when events take an unexpected turn, she finds herself facing a similar fate. Wounded and desperate, she stumbles unwittingly into the Lodge in search of help, but everything is far from normal once the doors close behind her.

Breathtakingly captivating, this story has a unique blend of psychological strength coupled with unpredictable twists that will carry you through its content within an hour.

A great read... give me more!

An amazing continuation of the 14th floor. It picks up in the eerie atmosphere that the first one had showing us what happens in the floors below.

Agent Ross, is after Anya and with Marks help she thinks she can finally close this case. But when things go badly she ends up at the Getaway lodge. Just as Anya did in the first novella. Though, what Ross discovers is an absolutely different experience than Anyas.

The Silensomnia series holds something very unique. Each part holds something dark and sinister but connects to one another in its own unique way.

As soon as I got the notification saying there was a new "Getaway Lodge", I ran to get it and was not disappointed. I had a good time reading it: a badass female character, eerie situations and lots of mystery, this was a fun read.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I appreciate the format and writing style, however, I now have an aversion to the word "heartbeat". This was slightly overused in my opinion, but that's the only 'bad' thing I could say.

I loved this new addition to the Getaway Lodge and Silentsomia series! It provided a different perspective on the story from the previous book and the continued upon it. I have a bad memory, so I had forgotten some of the first book, but this one was written in a way that brought it all back without being repetitive.

A little spook, a lot of gore.

I want more information about the Lodge itself!

First, I love how these books or short stories are interconnected. This is such a mind trip to read that it literally glues you to your seat because you don't want to stop. I didn't see things ending the way they did for Dahlia. I also did not see that connection with her and Mark. My heart still breaks for Mark and now Connor. But the old lady Delacroix had me laughing and gagging at the same time.

This was the second part to the 14th floor, but it also left on a cliffhanger. This one was more of a thriller to me and kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Looking forward to reading more books ny this author in the future.

Getaway Lodge was a story I did not want to end. Delilah was a hard edge character who never quits in her FBI role. When she is faced with an event that will change her, she keeps on going.

Silentsomnia is a place I want to get to know more about. Secrets and terror on every page.
