Room 13 appears only when it wants something. And a smiling presence beneath the hotel has begun taking reservations in June's name.Her only chance is an uneasy alliance with Gideon Pike, the fire marshal determined to condemn the building-and discover what happened to the father who vanished inside it twenty-seven years ago.As guests arrive and the hotel's rules tighten, June learns that every act of hospitality carries a hidden price. A room can become a prison. A promise can become a contract. And the Halloway Grand never forgets a debt.To save the living, release the dead, and keep an entire town from checking in forever, June must do what no Halloway proprietor has ever dared: open the doors without allowing the hotel to own anyone who walks through them.Darkly funny, genuinely haunting, and filled with stubborn ghosts, impossible guests, small-town secrets, and hard-won hope, The Dead Don't Leave Reviews is a supernatural horror comedy about grief, power, found family, and the dangerous difference between welcoming someone and refusing to let them leave.
