They say blood is thicker than water. I say blood is just harder to wash off your hands. My name’s Kimberley. I’m twenty-five. I have epilepsy, a seizure alert dog named Muffin, and a job I love as a senior housekeeper in one of London’s top hotels. I’m used to being invisible. Overlooked. Safe. But that was before Jennifer Clifton checked in. She’s rich, powerful, terrifyingly calm—and she asked for me by name. She gives me my dream job, working in her exclusive hotel in the Scottish Highlands. It’s more money than I ever imagined. There’s just one Don’t open the door to Room 21. How hard can that be? But something is wrong in this hotel. The guests are unsettling. The staff whisper behind closed doors. And that room—the one I promised not to enter—calls to me. I took the job for a better life. Now I’m trapped in a nightmare.
Author
Jessica is, and always has been, a huge fan of psychological and suspense thrillers. Her favourite authors are Chris Carter and John Marrs. She loves the twists and turns and shocking reveals and uses the books she reads as inspiration to write her own. Jessica wrote her first book at age six. Between the ages of ten and eighteen, she had written ten full-length fiction novels as a hobby in her spare time between school and work. At age eighteen, she left her hobby behind and joined the British Army as an Intelligence Analyst where she spent the next four and a half years as a soldier. She attempted to write more novels but was never able to finish them. Jessica later left the Army and became a mature student at Southampton Solent University and studied Fitness and Personal Training, which later became her career. She still enjoys keeping fit and exercising daily. She is now a wife, a stay-at-home mum to a crazy toddler and has a part-time time job as a freelance copy writer and editor. She lives in Newbury. During the first national lockdown of 2020, she signed up on a whim to a novel writing course, and the rest is history. Her love of writing came flooding back, and she managed to write and finish her debut novel, The Darkness Within Ourselves, inspired by her love of horror and thriller novels. She has also finished writing the My … Self trilogy, completed a Level 3 Diploma in Editing and Proofreading and has worked with four other authors on a collaborative horror novel entitled The Summoning. She is now working on a new novel in her spare time, reads every day (thrillers...obviously) and is also a Thriller Ambassador for Tandem Collective. Her latest suspense thriller, Jinx, is out on the 15th of April. It's a gripping and emotional journey that will have you flipping those pages long into the night and has some real life accounts of her time as a soldier!
