Asylum Hotel
Asylum Hotel | Juliet Blackwell
6 posts | 4 read | 1 to read
When a mysterious figure shows up in the photograph an architect takes of the derelict Seabrink Hotel, ghostly encounters and murder are unleashed. Aubrey Spencer loves photographing classic old buildings and abandoned places that hold old secrets. The Hotel Seabrink, perched overlooking the sea, is one such place. Currently abandoned but scheduled for a major renovation, it has a torrid history. Back in the 1920s it hosted A-list celebrity clientele, and now the locals insist it is haunted by the ghosts of two young women who died there. When Aubrey goes to photograph the site before the renovation begins, she bumps into a man named Dimitri Petroff, a minor online celebrity who shares her fascination with old buildings, the Hotel Seabrink in particular. When he is found dead the next day at the base of a cliff, the police are quick to close the investigation. But Aubrey feels unsettled by locals who claim he was murdered and that it's not the first time someone interested in the hotel was killed. As she digs deeper into the property's dark history (and its origins as an asylum) as well as Dimitri's professional rivalries, she becomes mired in an unsolved murder case from several decades earlier, one with eerie parallels to the contemporary case. But someone is determined to keep her from discovering the truth--at any cost.

4 Stars • In Asylum Hotel by Juliet Blackwell, architect Aubrey Spencer explores the haunted Hotel Seabrink, a former asylum. When her new friend, YouTuber Dimitri, dies suspiciously, she digs into the hotel‘s dark past—murders, abuses, and ghosts—helped by pal Nikki and paramedic Jasper. It‘s a cozy Gothic mystery with suspense, romance, and social vibes.

Asylum Hotel is enjoyable and is a good mystery, but I am not a fan of paranormal and this book wasn‘t a favorite of hers for me, and it was bit long. 3/5

Her historical fiction books were marvelous and more to my liking.

Thank you to the publisher for a copy of the book. All opinions are my own.

Had she known about the Seabrink curse, she might not have gone.
