Book 1 - Kurtain
Motel
I will say that this is definitely not
the book to read during a storm at night. After car trouble Patrick is picked
up by a priest and due to a storm they stop at a creepy motel. The setting was
a perfect setup for this story. The “guests” find themselves plagued by their
deepest sins. Something wants them to confess these sins. If you really want to
creep me out then add in spiders. They are my biggest fear. This is told from
multiple points of view. I happen to be
someone who likes this. I don’t think I would ever want to be in a motel like
the Kurtain Motel. This is just the first
book in his Sin series so it ends a little bit differently than I liked,
but set things up to make me read the next one. If you love creepy books then
this book and this author is the one for you.
Book 2 - Refuge
Okay,
book 2 of A.I. Nasser’s Sin series is just as creepy as the first
book. Three people have escaped the
Kurtain Motel. They end up in a town called Refuge. I am a strong believer that
names in books are often a story in themselves. It made me wonder why the
author would name the town Refuge. Just when they think they have their lives
returning to normal the creep factor is turned up once again. We still have a
theme of “confessing their sins” running throughout this series. This author
knows how to make everything about his book creepy. Definitely one of my
favorite horror authors. Now on to the third book in this series.
Book
3 - Purgatory
Patrick and Jimmy have been on the run since
they left the Kurtain Motel. They are trying to find Jimmy’s mom who was
possessed by the evil that haunted them at the motel. They find themselves in a
town called Darville. Something is definitely wrong in Darville. Evil lurks
there. Once again those creepy spiders
make an appearance. All I kept thinking as I read this series is that it would
make an awesome movie, spiders and all. I do feel that the series left me with
some unanswered questions. Was that enough to make me not enjoy the story? Definitely not. I need to check some of the
other books by this author. But please, check out this trilogy, you won’t be
disappointed.
