Spend the Night is a suspenseful and intriguing story. The mystery begins from the opening words. The format of the book and style of writing hooked me and kept my attention until I read the last words.
I had such fun trying to solve the mysteries presented thatI didn’t want to stop reading until I knew who the culprits were. “Creeper or Keeper?” was the question I kept asking myself as I put the clues together. At one moment I would be sure who was the psychopath and the next I would change my mind.
The characters were interesting even in those times I struggled to follow their thought processes. The drama is high and the mood intense. Though, I did enjoy the moments of levity interspersed. The continuous action in this story kept me interested and inquisitive. Spend the Night made for a pleasant diversion on a quiet weekend.
*This review contains NO spoilers*
When the author reached out to me and asked me if I was interested in reading a review copy of “Spend The Night”, I was tempted to say no, simply due to the fact that, at the time, I already had a couple of ARCs in my schedule to read and review, and I was afraid I wasn’t going to be able to review this book in time.
But when I read the blurb, I just knew that I had to say yes.
And oh my, am I happy I did it.
This book keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time – be it through the suspenseful moments, the emotional ones or the sexy and exciting ones: you never know what’s gonna happen next.
After a rendezvous with a mystery man in a dark stairwell, Hannah deems it impossible to forget that night and the way the stranger made her body alight with desire.
Eight months later, she finally has a potential face to attribute to her masked lover, but she also finds herself in the middle of a love triangle: between the one that can very well be the man she’s be hoping would come back to her and the one she never thought would return.
The thing is, she soon realizes that the weird occurrences taking place in the hotel might very well be the result of the actions of one of the two men. And now, she’s in danger.
Carter is sweet, caring, attentive: a true gentleman. Not to mention, ridiculously attractive.
Trent is quite the opposite – well, aside from the “ridiculosly atractive” part. His hot and cold behaviorr give Hannah whiplash, butt she just can’t seem to stay way.
While Carter is the epitome of “boyfriend material” and most likely the man she’s being waiting for 8 months now, Trent’s presence in the hotel is felt at the turn of every corner and Hannah can’t shake the feeling that there’s more to him that it suggests.
To keep her sanity (mostly) intact, she concludes she must give in to her own perception of what a happy ending should look like and pursue a life with Carter.
However, her mind keeps wondering to Trent and his intoxicating aura and wants nothing more than to overlook the twinge of his puzzling, inconsistent actions and be with the man she once held close and reckon to be her other half.
Which one should she follow? Her hear or her heart? Is the latter lying to her?
Her gut keeps telling her to listen to only one of those: problem is, she’s in too deep now and can’t hear a thing.
For her own good, she hopes she makes the right choice.
It was my first time reading Elizabeth Lee but it surely won’t be the last.
I’m so happy I said yes.
