Synopsis:
WELCOME TO THE RUSHMORE INN

The bed and breakfast was hidden in the hills of West Virginia. Wary guests wondered how it could stay in business at such a creepy, remote location. Especially with its bizarre, presidential decor and eccentric proprietor.

ONCE YOU CHECK IN…

When the event hotel for the national Iron Woman triathlon accidentally overbooked, competitor Maria was forced to stay at the Rushmore. But after checking into her room, she quickly realized she wasn't alone. First her suitcase wasn't where she put it. Then her cell phone was moved. Finally, she heard an odd creaking under the bed. Confusion quickly turned to fear, and fear to hysteria when she discovered the front door was barred and the windows were bricked over. There was no way out.

…YOU'LL BE DYING TO LEAVE

One year later, four new female athletes have become guests of the Inn. Will they escape the horrors within its walls? Or will they join the many others who have died there, in ways too terrible to imagine?

My Review:
This was my first real horror novel and I've read it so many times, that I thought it might be worth reviewing. What initially drew me to the book is that I'm from West Virginia and I was just plain curious. I do feel like the inbred West Virginia thing is played out, but it worked. Don't let other reviews scare you away, its not nearly as gory as other readers have stated. In my opinion, it's just enough and stops before it gets too squirm worthy. That being said, proofreading goes along way. There were quotations in the wrong places and there were instances where characters were being called by the wrong names. There were some humorous bits, or at least I found some parts rather funny. And it gets weird because guess where else I've lived? Georgia. All in all this was a good read and again, something I've read many times and one that I will continue to reread.

My Rating:
