The Last Check-In

Mystery + Horror For twenty years, Room 14 at the Blackwood Hotel has been reserved every Friday night. The strange part? Nobody ever checks in. Clara, a young hotel receptionist, has always wondered about the mysterious reservation under the name Margaret Vale. When she finally asks questions, her manager warns her to leave the matter alone. But Clara's curiosity soon turns into fear when, one rainy Friday night, a woman arrives at the hotel carrying an old-fashioned suitcase. Her name is Margaret Vale. She asks for Room 14. She claims she has been waiting twenty years to return. As Clara follows Margaret upstairs, she discovers a horrifying secret hidden within the hotel—one involving a vanished husband, a locked room, strange photographs, and something that has been waiting behind Room 14's door for decades. But the deeper Clara goes, the more she realizes that Margaret may not be the only person trapped by the hotel's dark history. And when Room 14 begins calling Clara's name, she must uncover the truth before the hotel adds her to its list of permanent guests. Some rooms are meant to be locked. Some secrets are meant to stay buried. And some reservations should never be made.
