Olivia Becente was never supposed to have the gift. The ability to commune with the dead was the specialty of her sister, Naiche. But when Naiche dies unexpectedly and under strange circumstances, somehow Olivia suddenly can’t stop seeing and hearing from spirits. A few years later, she’s the most in-demand paranormal investigator in Denver. She’s good at her job, but the loss of Naiche haunts her. That’s when she hears from the Brown Palace, a landmark Denver hotel. The owner can’t explain it, but every few years, a girl is found dead in room 904, no matter what room she checked into the night before. As Olivia tries to understand these disturbing deaths, the past and the present collide as Olivia’s investigation forces her to confront a mysterious and possibly dangerous cult, a vindictive journalist, betrayal by her friends, and shocking revelations about her sister’s secret life. _The Haunting of Room 904_ is a paranormal thriller that is as edgy as it is heartfelt and simmers with intensity and longing. Erika T. Wurth lives up to her reputation as “a gritty new punkish outsider voice in American horror.” Show more Get the Bindery app * * * Posts about this title from Not So Well Read [Not So Well Read\\ \\ Courtney\\ \\ • Mar 23 2025](https://notsowellread.binderybooks.com/) [**This week in the book world:** \\ \\ This week was all about Sunrise on the Reaping! It's been so fun seeing everyone diving back into the world of my all-time-favorite series. I'm only about 1/3 of the way through, but I know from everyone's stories that this is going to emotionally destroy me. I am ready. \\ \\ I had my own personal drama with this title–specifically a certain publisher not having us sign the needed embargo paperwork, which delayed our shipment by 3 days–but overall this release seemed to go a lot more smoothly than THAT one in January. I will say, I am forever jealous of the folks who got to attend the Waterstones Midnight Release. That looked AMAZING and even my indie-loving heart isn't afraid to admit it.\\ \\ **This Week's Publishing News:** \\ \\ - Sarah Beth Durst announced a new teen book this week! It's called The Faraway Inn about a teen girl who goes to work at her aunt's secretly-magical B&B after a breakup.\\ \\ - New horror novel called The House Where Nothing Hurts, "pitched as Bunny meets Marlena and for fans of Yellowjackets, about a high school volleyball team that discovers a haunted house where none of their actions seem to have lasting physical consequences"\\ \\ - Lindsay King-Miller, author of The Z Word, is teaming up with Rachel Feder for a dystopian retelling of The Picture of Dorian Gray called Dorian/Gray, pitched as a retelling of The Picture of Dorian Gray "where the rich are assigned poor scapegoats who experience all the negative consequences of their actions through quantum entanglement"\\ \\ \\ **This Week's New Releases:** \\ \\ Much slower week than last week, but still some good ones:\\ \\ - Buffalo Hunter Hunter by Stephen Graham Jones\\ \\ - Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins\\ \\ - Everything is Tuberculosis by John Green\\ \\ - The Hymn to Dionysus by Natasha Pulley\\ \\ - The Haunting of Room 904 by Erika T. Wurth\\ \\ - The Prince Without Sorrow (Obsidian Throne, #1) by Maithree Wijesekara\\ \\ - The Third Rule of Time Travel by Philip Fracassi\\ \\ \\ **What I Read This Week:** \\ \\ **Oathbound (Finished)**\\ \\ UGGGHHH!!! When's the next one???? I just want my babies to be happy together, okay? Also, in other news, I saw in publisher's weekly that Legendborn sold only 2000 copies in its first week, but Oathbound sold 20k+ in its first week and I'm just so happy!!\\ \\ **Soulgazer (Finished)**\\ \\ This book captured my entire heart in a matter of pages. Not only is it an incredible pirate fantasy, it's got an incredibly tender romance that will be beloved by both historical and fantasy romance readers. I cannot wait for the next novel and will be thinking of Faolan and Saoirse nearly every day until then. 10/10, perfect romantasy. Y'all make sure to preorder this one and show author Maggie some love.\\ \\ **Kill Creatures (Finished)**\\ \\ Kill Creatures is the exact reason why I love teen thrillers. Impossible-to-put-down from the very first page with a twist that will leave readers of all ages reeling, Kill Creatures is the a sun-soaked-fever-dream thriller that's perfect for summer reading. This one comes out 6/3/25!\\ \\ **Blood Over Bright Haven (50%)**\\ \\ I am loving this book, which is very likely due to the incredible audiobook narrator. We called the twist pretty early on, but that hasn't kept me from enjoying it. I need to finish this one tonight before book club tomorrow, so I'll keep y'all updated on my progress.\\ \\ **Dance of Lies (28%)**\\ \\ Ooooh, I can tell that this one is going to be a slow burn and I am buckled in and ready.\\ \\ **What I bought/shelved:** \\ \\ Bought:\\ \\ - Till Death by Kellan McDaniel\\ \\ - Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins\\ \\ - I Am the Swarm by Hayley Chewins\\ \\ \\ Shelved:\\ \\ - Between Ink and Shadows by Melissa Wright\\ \\ \\ **Other Musings:** \\ \\ Don't forget the Trans Rights Read-a-thon is happening now till 3/31! I am hoping to read The Duke Steals Hearts & Other Body Parts and Till Death during this time!!
