Review for Spirit Week
Welcome to Underlook Hotel (yes, Overlook Hotel, just different)! Welcome to a week of mysterious things and tons of filming.
First Chapter First Paragraph Thursday Intros ~ Time Travel Inn by Bart King
You lean your head on the window of the passenger side of your dad’s van and sigh. It’s been a long car ride from Florida to Wisconsin, and it’s gotten colder and more terrible each hour of the trip. Snowflakes are falling faster and faster, and then you see the sign: Time Travel Inn.
“We’re here!” announces Dad as he parks. You’ve finally reached your missing grandmother’s motel in Wisconsin.
Friday’s Page 69 ~ Goldie Vance: The Hotel Whodunit by Lilliam Rivera
Behind us, Mr. Davenport – or Cecil – continues to yell at the photographer. I wonder if he will ever get tired of hearing his own voice. I know I already am. Eventually the shouting is drowned out by the chirping of birds and Delphine’s heels on the pathway. I concentrate on making sure I lead Delphine to the right suite while also taking into account everything around me. Like how she isn’t wearing gloves and her hands are free of rings. How there is a delicate gold necklace with a pendant around her neck. I can’t really make out what the pendant says, but it’s very pretty and understated. This close, I can smell Delphine’s perfume. It is a mixture of lavender and rose, and I think I can smell hints of patchouli. Scents are really important when you are a detective.

Review for Horror Hotel
“It’s shimmering,” she says, her voice low. “Like the hotel itself isn’t all here at once, all at the same time.” + “Blood drips down the elevator doors and pools over the tile floor of the lobby. The doors open, and it’s raining blood, staining the carpet and mirrored walls inside the elevator car.”
Review for Vacancy
“Inside, the room is empty. And I know then that it’s the only empty room in the entire hotel. And I also know what the strange sensation is. The hotel is hungry. The hotel has a vacancy, and tomorrow night it plans on filling it.”
