I simply picked this book based on the blub as it came off as interesting and the right thriller to continue the journey I've been on. The characters are all interesting although some more defined than others so I cared more about some fates than others also. I really liked the premise of this creepy hotel and the game the guests must play in order to escape. It was an enjoyable read.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher.

Six friends, an unexpected storm, a creepy hotel...and decisions that must be made. Christian horror is hard to find, and dare I say, hard to do well. It can easily come across as melodramatic or preachy, neither of which apply to The Deciding Hour. Fasan does an excellent job drawing readers in and keeping their attention. I loved the setting and the high stakes game the characters are forced to play. The author did a fantastic job of creating and holding tension, making me want to speed right on through.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC. I am leaving this review voluntarily and all views expressed are my own.
