“You always save the best lies for yourself.” – Amador Lockdown
Something has moved into the Amador Hotel. Hector, Marcos, Bev, and Tony of the Paranormal Posse are called in to either debunk the haunting or get rid of whatever is causing the problems. With the surprise arrival of Hector’s son, he tries to keep his professional and personal lives separate, but whatever is haunting the Amador Hotel has other plans.
It’s no secret how much I enjoy the supernatural. I’m a sucker for all of the paranormal TV shows, regardless how cheesy they get sometimes. I just can’t resist a good spooky story. I’m sure we have all heard something go Bump! in the night or a strange sound that sent chills down our spines as we secretly wondered what the heck it was, right? Well, Russell brings that creepy feel to life in Amador Lockdown.
Russell starts off this creepy paranormal tale with the Paranormal Posse leading a tour group through an old graveyard, setting the tone for the entire story. As the team is called in to investigate, and hopefully debunk, the strange happenings at the Amador Hotel, it becomes quite clear that they may be in over their heads. Parts of the story had me thinking about Rose Red and a line about houses being alive and if we listen we can hear houses breathe…this line is fitting for Amador Lockdown too.
Overall, I enjoyed the riveting plot and the eery feel of the ghost hunt. The historical quality of the Amador Hotel was well researched, highlighting some of its unique history. Readers that enjoy Gretchen McNeil’s Possess and Kendare Blakes’s Anna Dressed in Blood will definitely find Amador Lockdown appealing. It’s a fast read that is simply too hauntingly good to put down.
