The Nuevo Muyor – a Review

The Nuevo Muyor isn’t your ordinary hotel. The patrons must be wealthy, but they are treated to exceptional luxury and privacy. They can’t ask too many questions though.

Elias Drougett is the newest guest. He is drawn to the opulence the hotel offers, but he also gets the feeling that something just isn’t right. He becomes suspicious of the polished smiles everyone wears and feels the elaborate rules are just plain silly.

Then certain people just vanish and no one is worried about it except for him. Elias begins to dig deeper into just what is going on at The Nuevo Muyor, and what he discovers horrifies him. He is determined to free himself and all of the other “guests” from this terrible place. But will he succeed? And at what cost?

The ending was great and not at all what I expected. And regular brown or black spiders are horrific enough, but blue spiders are enough to give me nightmares. Yes, I know that came from out of nowhere, but you will understand if you read the book.

The Nuevo Muyor reminds me of “Hotel California.” Many checked in but the only way to check out was to die.

I really enjoyed this book. Reminiscent of Agatha Christie, the author’s writing is straightforward. Something sinister is always hovering in the background. The tension runs high all through the book, and toward the end, Elias’s life is in danger. If you would like to your own copy of The Nuevo Muyor, I’ve provided an Amazon link below.
