I just finished reading the Evergreen Motel series with the last book ‘Cursed’. It was a great ending to the series. The story builds book by book until the explosive ending . See what happens to Aly and Phil as they battle ghosts from their past who are stalking them. These are not nice ghosts who float around scaring you but malevolent ghosts out for payback! Read it. It was great.

Can Aly and Phil finally find peace? As Nancy gets weaker, Kyle grows stronger by sucking the life out of her. He is on a rampage to get Aly. He wants her with him - dead. It's a scary story that finally puts the ghosts to rest and Aly and Phil are free to live their lives. Or are they???
This is an ARC book. The review is my honest opinion.

This book is amazing and really good. Getting to read it in sections, gives you time to think about what you've read before you start the next part. Its a good way to write a book. The story was good and moved along quickly with no time for you to get bored. The characters were well written and very interesting. You just have to read it so grab a copy and get started. You won't be sorry!

Fitting Finale
Marc Layton has me enthralled with the way his stories are woven. Brilliant. 'One must die' but who is the chosen one? This was a quick read - the killing suspense compelled me to read non stop.

Fast and fun read
All the chapters moved along in a quick fashion. It had several twist and unexpected turns. It was more a thriller than a horror story but I still enjoyed it.

We finally have some answers but still there are open questions that could lead to another connected series. Would love to see if the story continues in some way.
