Bookseller recommendation

“I lived the main characters hesitation in labeling herself as A tribe or An ethnicity ”
— Barbra • The Read Queen Bookstore & Cafe

Bookseller recommendation

“Erika T. Wurth back at it again with a story that’s horrifying, disturbing, enlightening, suspenseful, and filled heartbreaking betrayals. I will not be looking into mirrors at night for a few days after this one! ”
— Annika • Dudley's Bookshop Cafe

Bookseller recommendation

“I don’t normally read/like paranormal or supernatural novels, but Wurth brilliantly used the genre to tell the story of past injustices to native Americans – specifically the Sand Creek Massacre – and to discuss serious topics such as racial bias affecting all of us in current times. It was easy to believe that Olivia was truly seeing and hearing everyone that helped her to understand her sister’s death.”

“Olivia has a gift, and a successful career as a paranormal investigator. When she puts her gift to work in investigating her sister’s mysterious death, she finds herself embroiled in layers of generational secrets that she must unravel to save her mother from the same fate as her sister, and to free her sister and other spirits locked in a terrible limbo. A spine-tingling mystery full of intrigue and the supernatural. ”

Summary
About the author

“Narrator Ina Barrón arrives at the mic fully formed, providing a notable performance of distinct characterizations.”—Booklist

From the author of White Horse (“Twisty and electric.” —The New York Times Book Review) comes a terrifying and resonant novel about a woman who uses her unique gift to learn the truth about her sister’s death.

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.”
