YAY! Mine is not in transit so hopefully I'll get it soon

[Megan]

I'm in the same boat as Trisha, hopefully it comes soon.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

ugh...still don't have it!

No worries if you want to start Amanda! I hate to make you wait!!

[Amanda]

I can wait a little while longer. I have my copy until January 2nd. I didn't have a chance to start this anyways the past few days have been hectic.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I'm so excited for this one. the reviews! They make it sound so good!! Thank you for waiting.

I hope it's been a good hectic and not a bad one! :) I know, I've been pulled apart at the seems these past few weeks too!! Here's to calming holidays coming up :P

[Amanda]

No problem :)

It's been a stressful hectic. Hopefully it calms down soon.

[Amanda]

No worries. I've been so busy with no time to read this past week. I am good to start whenever you guys are.

Happy b-day to your oldest :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Thank you! My oldest had a great birthday!

[Amanda]

Every 5 sounds good. I didn't realize how short this was either.

I will start tomorrow morning :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

5 chapters

Ruby(view spoiler)[ okay so...something is definitely off here
think they are all dead? I wonder if that means she and her dad and brother are possibly dead too
or if the dead have to kill them...YIKES! (hide spoiler)]

Catherine(view spoiler)[ definitely seems awful (hide spoiler)]

Kenneth(view spoiler)[ I wonder why her dad was fighting with him (hide spoiler)]
Dad(view spoiler)[ and I wonder where he goes all day?? (hide spoiler)]

laundry(view spoiler)[ that was odd, right? the detergent smells different for both of them because, to each of them, it smells just like home (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

10 chapters

wow, this one is really readable! the pages fly!

Elias (view spoiler)[ I get the feeling Elias and Catherine are like spiders. they pick their prey and try to get them to stay (hide spoiler)]

Daniel(view spoiler)[ I'm so sad. I think Catherine may have killed him last night. I think the head wound is pretty real :/ (hide spoiler)]

Audrey(view spoiler)[ which means I think she gets to leave (not die there)...I think only those in the party.....have to stay (hide spoiler)]

Kenneth(view spoiler)[ I'm not sure what that means he is. but he's scary (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

15 chapters

Party(view spoiler)[ well....crap
she got invited. I wonder if she'll ever make it out of that place (hide spoiler)]

Catherine(view spoiler)[ i haven't quite decided what she is really about (hide spoiler)]

Daniel(view spoiler)[ I'm so sad he remembered what happened. I wonder why the Ruby chose them and not Audrey at first (hide spoiler)]

Dad(view spoiler)[ that is really awful. if he'd made sure she was out that night, she would still be able TO leave (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

and I"m done! Ha! I loved it!

I thought(view spoiler)[ they might have gotten into an accident and died but I wasn't so sure (hide spoiler)]

Ruby(view spoiler)[ isn't so bad once you realize it's a place for those wayward souls to roam and hang together
but I'd hate for them never to move on - for her never to see her mom again (hide spoiler)]

Kenneth(view spoiler)[ really was an awful awful man
I can't believe he terrorized Lourdes in both life and death
that seems so wrong
I'm glad she got him (hide spoiler)]

Audrey(view spoiler)[ what a choice. to choose death to stay with her dad and brother. I mean, I guess I can understand it on some level. she didn't have any other family waiting for her. (hide spoiler)]

[Amanda]

Sorry I haven't posted yet. Very busy these past couple days. I am home the rest of the day today through Friday. Will be working on this the rest of the day. Glad you liked it.

5 chapters.

Ruby (view spoiler)[I agree something is off here. This hotel seems a bit creepy to me. I definitely think that all the residents in the hotel are dead. But the question for me is did they die in the hotel and now they are stuck there? and if they did die in the hotel, how? (hide spoiler)]

Audrey (view spoiler)[I love the relationship with her brother and how he looks out for her. (hide spoiler)]

Starting the next 5 chapters now. Be back soon.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

right?

Ruby(view spoiler)[ is so creepy.... (hide spoiler)]

[Amanda]

10 chapters.

Audrey (view spoiler)[ugh the visions she is see are scary. Especially the one with her brother. I wonder if Elias and the others are giving her those pills and messing with her mind so she doesn't notice her family missing? (hide spoiler)]

Daniel (view spoiler)[ yes, that head wound seemed pretty real. I agree I think once you go to the party you are there to stay. (hide spoiler)]

This is flying by.

[Amanda]

15 chapters.

Audrey (view spoiler)[now that she got an invitation I hope she will find a way out. I am sure it's too late for her brother. (hide spoiler)]

Catherine (view spoiler)[not sure what to make of her (hide spoiler)]

?? (view spoiler)[did your copy skip chapter 13? I'm not missing any pages and the story continued from where chapter 12 left off. I am sure it's connected to the story since Audrey's room is on the 13th floor. Just wondering if you noticed the skip in chapters. (hide spoiler)]

[Amanda]

Done.

I was (view spoiler)[starting to wonder if they were in an accident too. (hide spoiler)]

Kenneth (view spoiler)[he really was awful. So glad he got what he deserved (hide spoiler)]

Audrey (view spoiler)[that was a hard decision she had to make, but I'm not surprised, she never wanted to leave her brother. (hide spoiler)]

This was good, I really enjoyed it.

Amanda wrote: "?? [spoilers removed]"

ha! I didn't(view spoiler)[ notice it at all! That's awesome! good catch! (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I'm so glad you liked it too!!

[Amanda]

lol (view spoiler)[It threw me off at first thinking I had a messed up copy but when I noticed there was no change in page numbers or the story sequence I figured it had to be intentional (hide spoiler)]

I enjoyed this one. I am glad that we got a good one this time. It can really be hit or miss.

[Vicki]

Starting back up on this one after the marathon.
