I'm a fan of Young's, I'll admit, but this book missed the mark for me. My biggest struggle with this book was that it took entirely too long to get to the point and there wasn't nearly enough of the ghostly/spooky variety that I was hoping for going into this book. I'm beginning to think that the YA horror genre just isn't for me. It just doesn't spook/excite me like I want it to. So yeah, it took more than half the book for any kind of action to happen. The first half of the book, Young was just dancing around the topic and it was a lot of frivolous teen drama. 
 I did appreciate the setting of the hotel and the eerie atmosphere that Young was trying to portray. The hotel felt like its own character and you could easily tell there was something otherworldly going on. I even liked some of the characters in the book, to an extent. I didn't care for Audrey as much as I wanted to and I liked her brother and father even less. Yes, they're all dealing with a tragedy and I sympathized, but I couldn't connect with them as much. I definitely would've been more cognizant of my strange surroundings if in Audrey's situation, so it threw me off how she reacted to everything at first. 
 It wasn't until close to the end when things really picked up and you get more of the paranormal aspect of the story. I loved those parts. It was definitely those moments that turned this into a somewhat decent read for me. I was able to fly through those pages a lot faster and easier because they entertained and excited me. The rest of the story was just "meh" for me. In any case, it was a somewhat quick read and if you're looking for a mild-mannered mystery/ghost story, then you might want to give this a try.
