Welcome to Litsy!

An interesting story about what goes wrong in the most secure high end hotel in the world. An interesting narrator follows the path of destruction via security cameras. Far more spicy than I expected, but not off putting. I really enjoyed this one!!!

So this book has bits where you're getting 3 concurrent viewpoints, as if you're watching security cameras. I'm really impressed and think it's a super cool device!! Unreliable characters make it that much better!!

Tbh, in between pick and so-so. More thriller than horror. More gory than it needed to be. And by the end, more questions than answers. Still a high anxiety chilling read.

Horror/thriller about a killer in a luxurious, high-tech hotel with the best security, 24 hours before it opens.

I think it would have been more enjoyable if I hadn‘t read it as an eBook. The formatting was messed up making it hard to follow.

I don‘t care if it‘s a Friday meme, why the hell are y‘all putting answers to security questions on here?! Grandparents‘ names?! Fave childhood movie? NAH. Don‘t do it. And delete if you did. 😮😮😮

This was not a mystery as I initially thought but it was a pretty taught thriller especially as it reached the ending. It entails the pre-opening machination that are taking place in a luxury hotel which is touted as being the most secure ever. The structure is so cool as the page breaks up into a grid like the screens showing views from two or more security cameras and the text in each grid describes different activities in each then comes back⬇️

Readathon book #1
A cross between a slasher flick and a love story. It definitely reminded me of a high tech version of Hitchcock‘s Psycho, where the surveillance may both hurt and help the hotel employees as they get picked off one by one.

My modest #24in48 reading stack. I have to work this weekend so I already know I‘m not making it to 24 hours. I‘ve only read about 45 minutes from the tagged book.

Day 5: Underrated Book

I don't understand how this book doesn't get more love than it does. Deep down, this book is like Scream but in book form. An gift to horror fans, this book contains nods to Rebecca, the Shining, and other fantastic horror novels and movies. If you love horror, please check this out. #ReadingResolutions #PhotoChallenge #UnderratedBook #Security #horror #bestbooks

#ReadingResolutions #day5 #UnderratedBook I don‘t think this book has gotten the love it deserves. I thoroughly enjoyed Security, it‘s a fast paced, maybe a bit predictably gory, novel that I read in one sitting coz I didn‘t want to put it down. It certainly deserves more than its 3⭐️ rating on Goodreads & it‘s 64% here. If @Liberty loves it & I love it, you should give it another chance. Coz we both rock a good thriller!🤘

Sansa decided she wanted to be in on the fun!
I liked the premise of the story - but I think I just didn‘t like the style of the story telling.
Overall it reminded me of trying to read a Saw film!
There is also a Placebo video that is narrated by Bret Easton Ellis which is narrated from several different perspectives - that kept flashing in my mind.
Think reviews of this book will depend on whether you can put up with the style.

1.) Security by Gina Wohlsdorf - I work in a hotel. It takes place in a hotel. 😬
2.) Gingerdread Man 2 - just don‘t.
3.) I work in a hotel that I‘m fairly positive is haunted. Lots of spooky crap happens there

This was better than I expected! It was more gory-slasher than scary but it was totally entertaining, and I thought the overall framework was clever once it was revealed. Good fun on audio. #spooktober

#HallowReads #day15 #SomeonesWatchingSunday This is the ultimate voyeuristic thriller, I really enjoyed this fairly short novel. Set in a new, state of the art hotel which is about to have its opening night. The Manderley Resort is an opulent 5star hotel with a security system that's second to none. But 12hrs before opening, someone is using that system to pick off employees one by one in the most gruesome manner until there's no one left.

I just finished Horrorstör, and while I enjoyed it, I much prefer My Best Friends Exorcism. I just couldn't connect with the main character, Amy, in this.

Now, the biggest question, is what to read next? ?‍♀️

I just couldn't stick with this one. There was something about the way the dialogue was written that I found irritating. I never used to abandon books - at least not intentionally. But I've come to the realization that life is too short to struggle through reads I'm not enjoying!

🔔📚🔔 this read like a slasher movie in a book to me and it was fun! If that sounds like your thing the ebook is $1.99 amazon/b&n

Ok, so if you were on board for my last recommendation, here's another incredible book! This is a thriller/slasher set in a luxury hotel. The staff is finishing last minute prep work for the grand opening, and then people start getting murdered. The structure of the story is a little different, but it all comes together. In the right hands, this would be an amazing movie, but it'd have to be really long to fit in all the awesome!

13% in and I have to say ...this book is very, very weird. Not sure I like the structure, but it's still early on. 🙄😒

This finally popped up on Overdrive today...I've been not so patiently waiting for it. Lol
This seems to be quite the polarizing book, so I'm a bit nervous starting it....let's see what camp I fall into with this one. 🌝

I really enjoyed this book! Definitely the right book to get me out of my "cozy crime" rut. It was thrilling, it was terrifying, there were times when I was yelling at the book to "Look behind you, you idiot!" The fact that there was a love story entwined in all that horror just made it all the more surreal, but it really worked. Highly recommend to fans of Big Brother, Halloween(the movie) & Alfred Hitchcock.

Total score from @Jenshootsweddings not only is it a great book so far, it's a signed copy in pristine condition. Thank you so much, this is why I love Litsy. The generosity of spirit of Littens.❤️❤️❤️

30pgs into this thriller I received from @Jenshootsweddings Very interesting so far, the way the dialogue splits in two directions at times is a bit disconcerting, but it's keeping me interested so that's a plus. This is my S book for #LitsyAtoZ & it's my #LRC20 by an #indiepublisher for the #LitsyReadingChallenge BTW, did you know this is a signed copy? @Jenshootsweddings

This book is nerve wracking. The narrator tells you what the killer is doing and what the other employees are doing. The multiple points of view were at times annoying, but it did add to the tension. I had to put the book down a few times because I couldn't take it anymore 😄

Reading at the doctors. This book is causing me major stress. I don't want the characters to die, but this is a book about a killer.

The split page for multiple narrators is really starting to annoy me 😠

I didn't even know who was narrating the book until 150 pages in. It's probably me, but I didn't find it scary. It was definitely thrilling and I found myself holding my breath during a good portion of the action. 4/5

I am about half way through this book and I just realized I have NO idea who is narrating this book. I am to believe that there is a narrator because of comments like these. I feel like this book and Dark Matter may be up against each other for biggest mind f*ck. 😳

I'm glad I'm not the only one that gives random, mostly inanimate objects (or stains) the middle finger.

All these books waiting patiently to be read 😄

#feistyfeb this has to be my favourite book with a #workplacesetting. Staff getting ready to open a new luxury hotel, told from a very unique POV. Loved it ❤️📚

Sunday morning. I should be grading.

OK, maybe Reading this one as an ebook was not the best idea, but I don't think that ia the only problem with the book...
I rarely give up, but this time I'm not regreting that I'm doing that...

This was just okay for me. I thought the plot was original but the way it jumped from one person's perspective to the next, sometimes multiple times on the same page, made the story feel disjointed at times. This made it a less enjoyable read for me.

Another one that I have heard a lot about. Hoping it lives up to the hype!

Thank you so much @Jenshootsweddings for sending me a book I've been dying to read. I will definitely be paying it forward when I do a purge of my library very soon. There ain't nothing better than a shared book!😘😘😘😘
