Some movies have you on the edge of you seat wanting more… you just can’t stop looking… you want to know what happens next and you won’t be satisfied until you see it to the end. Well, there are books that have you turning from page to page. You just can't get enough. One of those books is H.O.T.E.L by Brian M.W.

H.O.T.E.L stands for Hunt, Observe, Track, Eliminate, and Learn. These are rules that every hunter must follow if they are to come out of the hunt victorious. These are the same rules that Jason Hastor who is a billionaire follows, but Jason is also insane and money plus insanity equals a whole lot of trouble.

Jason is haunted by the fact that his father picked the hunt over his family and he decides to follow in the footsteps of his father to see what is so special about the hunt. What could possibly have a man forget those that mean the most...his family? Unfortunately, he thinks that in order to get that answer he has to hunt the most dangerous prey of all, MAN! So he builds a hotel that will help him on this insane journey of murder and mayhem to get answers.

Derrick and Jacky Johnson decide to go on a much-needed vacation. Derrick is trying to get his creative juices flowing for a book he’s writing and Jacky wants to go to see if she can resist the temptation of sleeping with the smooth and mysterious Mr.Hastor. They think that they have picked the vaction spot not realizing that Jason has picked them and a few others to see if they are worthy of the hunt. Are they worthy of dying by his hands?

I know the setting and mood sounds familiar, but I think that this author really put his mark on it. His word play is very clever and he patiently started to build the story from beginning to middle and finally to a very interesting end. At first my impression from the beginning was that it was a little boring but after completing it, he was getting somewhere with all of his explainations.

The author claims to be the first black author to reach the status of Steven King, Dean Koontz and many others that are famous for their horrifying lessons in life... I will wait to see if that is true. Thus far he is definitely on his way.
