Publisher's summary

"Confess!"

Patrick Lahm is down on his luck. Late for his book signing, out of gas, and stuck in a storm. He hitches a ride to the Kurtain Motel, where he is forced to spend the night. The small motel seems harmless enough at first, but as the night drags on, Patrick and the other guests slowly begin to realize there is a lot more to their temporary lodging than meets the eye.

Something evil is at work at the Kurtain Motel; something that creeps into the deepest, darkest corners of your mind and tugs at the chords of sanity until they finally break. On the longest night of his life, Patrick soon finds out that there is a reason why skeletons are kept in closets. He realizes that your sins always find a way to catch up with you, no matter how hard you try to run.

Welcome to the Kurtain Motel, where all your nightmares come true.

"Confess"

It's been awhile since I've listened to a book and I thought the narration was okay. It took a little bit of time to get used to but once I adjusted to The Voice of the narrator it was easier to get into the book. We all have an idea of what people would sound like when we are reading a story and it can be awkward hearing it different from what you expect.
I absolutely loved the story. You get drawn in by the characters and the atmosphere around them. Not just the Storm at the motel but the internal battles of each person. There is just enough information given about every character, a little at a time, to keep you chasing the story.

I think they stayed at this hotel

Confess confess confess
I am never going to be able to go to church again because I’m going to sit in the pew and scream. This book is very well written a few too many characters to juggle at first but once you get going it makes sense why they are all there. Not only that but it is a great entry into the Sin series. Can’t wait for number two.

Hotel California, Steven King, and Dean Koontz.

This book is like the Eagles song Hotel California and the Twilight Zone in one, but Steven King and Dean Koontz decided to check in and write about their experience. That’s the best way I can describe this book of scary insanity. If you like stephen King and Dean Koontz as much as I do, or even if you only like one of them, then this book is just for you!

Great book with excellent narration

Would you consider the audio edition of Kurtain Motel to be better than the print version?

Yes, the right narrator can enhance the reading experience

What was one of the most memorable moments of Kurtain Motel?

What about Thom Bowers’s performance did you like?

His performance is excellent due to his voice inflection and timing

Great start to series

Excellent listen! Very chilling story, I wasn't expecting the direction that this story took. The narrator is amazing and really adds to the chilling quality of the story. Looking forward to seeing where this series goes next.

Didn't like the ending

I was surprised and wasn't expecting what happened at the end. It was a good book overall.

Confess

I purchased and read this 1st in series book in April, and given audiobook in September by Scare Street (THANK YOU) it is so much better to listen too. I love horror and ghosts stories. Loved the characters of Patrick, Jimmy and Connor. Patrick stopped at motel for the night due to storm, then all hell starts. This book was scary, creepy and thrilling better than the Slaughter series. Recommend to anyone who enjoys horror books, onto 2nd book.

BRILLIANT

The whole series from start to finish is simply addictive. Very original. Flows well. This series has made me want to read everything this other writes. Brilliant!

hardyreader

Hard to follow at times, otherwise a fairly good story. Found the narrator's reading of female characters a bit campy.

What a creepy story that would make a good movie

What would you do if you stopped for the night at a motel and couldn't leave? What if you kept hearing a voice telling you to confess while you were at the motel? This story was creepy and would make a great horror movie. Every time Patrick falls asleep he dreams of millions of spiders crawling out of everyone and everything around him and crawling on him. That would be enough to make me lose my mind....hate spiders. Even when you know something is wrong, how can you protect yourself from the unknown and the people around you it drives to madness????

I'm looking forward to reading the other stories in this series and hope they are as good as this one.
