Motel Styx by Jonathan Butcher, Michelle von Eschen, Michelle von Eschen
3.0
SPOILERS AHEAD:
3.8 for me. This book didn’t really leave anything to the imagination, it most definitely ticked all of the boxes of being a gruesome horror novel. What took me out of it was the expectation around it being some love story? But the main character is abusive and is attempting to gather his dead wife, not because of an undying desire to protect her, but rather control her even in death.
I am highly critical of DV books and I guess I was personally disappointed in this depiction because it felt so poorly done. With that being said, good on Emely to fight her fight the only way she could, Ellis got what he deserved.
