Thanks to NetGalley, Lake Union Publishing and Emily Carpenter for the opportunity to read and review this book.
This was a good mystery with lots going on in the plot and characters. Meg Ashley is the mostly-estranged daughter of Frances Ashley who wrote a best-selling cult horror novel decades ago. Meg gets drawn into writing a revenge novel about her neglectful mother as well as digging deeper into the true events that supposedly sparked the story behind the successful novel.
Meg goes to a creepy island off Georgia where the story happened. Doro, who was Kitten in her mom's novel, welcomes her into the old hotel that no longer accepts guests. Doro pledges to help Meg in her quest to find answers as to the murder that happened so many years ago. However, as Meg delves deeper into the story, she finds that there are many suspects, including her own mother, and now Meg's own life appears in jeopardy.
There is a lot of action going on and there are alternating chapters from the old novel to add to the creepiness factor of the book. But this was a good ride and I couldn't wait to find out what happened!
