About this listen
"She felt no remorse for drawing blood. In the context of their relationship, it had its place."
For Max and Laurel, nothing is off limits when they meet in room 553. Their illicit affair is exhilarating, passionate--and dangerous.
Driven as much by compulsion as pleasure, Max can't stop. His mistress is Jesus on the streets, and Satan in the sack. But when things take a sharp and sudden turn for the worse, he finds himself ensnared in a trap of his own making.
Under heavy scrutiny by the police and the media, Max is hailed as a cold and evasive womanizer. He made mistakes, to be sure. But does that make him a killer?
Unnerving and addictive, Room 553 is a vivid and sensual psychological thriller that weaves a story of cruelty, reckless desire, and blind, bloody justice.
What readers are saying about Room 553:
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "Room 553 is a masterclass in dark psychological suspense, pulling you deep into a world of obsession, deception, and desire. The tension is relentless, the characters are razor-sharp, and the story unfolds with an intoxicating mix of seduction and dread. Just when you think you have it figured out, the plot twists like a knife. If you love unpredictable thrillers with a noir edge, this is the book for you." - Goodreads review
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "Seductive, chilling, and utterly immersive. This is the kind of twisty psychological thriller that makes you question everything you thought you knew about the characters. The passion is electric, the mind games are deadly, and the final reveal is a gut-punch. A must-read for fans of dark, seductive thrillers that blur the line between pleasure and danger. If you're searching for a thriller that keeps you hooked from start to finish, look no further." - Goodreads review
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "This book is pure psychological cat-and-mouse suspense, and I was hooked from the first page. King has an uncanny ability to get inside his characters' heads, making every moment pulse with tension. The setting is claustrophobic, the stakes are sky-high, and the writing is razor-sharp. If you love atmospheric thrillers with unreliable narrators and deadly obsessions, don't sleep on this one." - Goodreads review
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "The slow-burning tension in Room 553 is absolutely intoxicating. It's a gripping blend of psychological mind games and unexpected twists, making it impossible to put down. The way King builds dread through every interaction is masterful, and the ending? Completely devastating in the best way. A binge-worthy thriller that will stay with you long after the last page." - Goodreads review
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "King's writing is so immersive, it feels like stepping into a noir fever dream—equal parts haunting and addictive. Every chapter drips with tension, and the interplay between Max and Laurel is as captivating as it is disturbing. If you crave dark, atmospheric thrillers packed with deception and desire, this one is unmissable." - Goodreads review

Story
The strongest lies aren’t the ones we tell others—they’re the ones we tell ourselves. I thought I'd found my fairy tale ending when Andrew Chadwick saved my life during a hotel fire and gave me a whirlwind love story I didn’t think existed. But trusting him made me vulnerable, and believing in the impossible made me an easy target. Six months later, we're celebrating our dream wedding at an exclusive island resort, where every luxury imaginable is at our fingertips. It should be perfect. It should be paradise. But it's not.

I hate virtual voice!
Virtual voice pretty much ruined the story. No inflection, sentences running into each other, pauses in the wrong place, virtual voice is just terrible! It quite ruined the story.
