On the run
The third part of the book sheds some light on the ghosts. The background of the spectres was tragic but why the malevolence? This book was unnerving. Eagerly waiting for the next book from Marc Layton.

The Evergreen Motel; part three
I picked this little gem in a promotion. Wow! I hadn't read any of the previous books but it didn't impact the story. Running from the murder she commited, she ends up at the motel. What appears to be a refuge is turning into a nightmare! Now I'm going to be reading the rest of the books! Well written, love the characters, and an intriguing story. Perfect read, before bedtime!

Aly is trying to get away from Kyl and in her attempt to run, wrecks her car. She can only think of going back to the Evergreen Hotel to use as a hideout. The cops are looking for her, and now so is a ghost of a female. Who is this ghost and why is she after Aly? You will have to read the book to find out. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

Aly for help. Why does she haunt Aly and why does she need Aly's help? Is something even more

Book #3 in the series continues to be as good as the first two books. Aly is now on the run after being chased by police suspected of murder. She is still seeing ghosts. Aly has to call Philip back for help and he starts to disclose some more of the puzzle. Will she ever be free again? Can't wait for the next part.

As with all of the books in this series, the story line and character work are terrific. The story has a smooth flow to it. Once started you can't stop until you finish the entire book. I'm looking forward to the next one.

This was a twisty, fast-paced, interesting read, that I found I did not want to put down! Layton keeps the third part of this story is fresh, original and exciting with characters that are realistic and likable and suspense that keeps your heart rate up.

Really twisted!
I guess I like being scared to death because I keep reading this series. The books are too short but I can't stop reading them. You have ghosts, possibly two, murder, maybe, and a bit of insanity that I swear is contagious. Great read!

I'm still on my Marc Layton marathon and this section of The Evergreen Motel was really good. I am ready to start part 4. This is a fascinating book and I am enjoying it a lot. He's a good writer people, grab one of his books and see for yourself.

Why is Nancy haunting me?
Now that Aly has found out the truth, what happens next? I think there is more to Phil’s story about his wife. On to the next story

Just excellent. Loving the pace of this serial. My only criticism would be they are not long enough. Loving it. Can't wait to read the next one.

Continued interest
Part 3 gets interesting and almost calming as the story comes into view and the characters are part of you.

This book was much better than the last one, but the ending was abrupt and unsatisfying.

So glad this is offered on Kindle Unlimited so I can keep going without ever having to put it down.

Disappointed! Had adrenaline pumping from first 2 books, abruptly ended with Chased!
My momentum to have to read next book gone!
Couldn’t resist, reading Hopeless, book 4, have to know what happens to Phil and Aly.

The police are out looking for her,she's seeing dead people all over the place,have no where to go,no money,now what? More events just keep happening and have no way to understand. Why is Phil's wife coming after me? Have enough going on with a dead ex boyfriend looking for me! Don't read at night.
