Although this is book 2 in the Millersville series, it could easily be read as a stand alone, but you would be missing out on the amazing first book Shore Lodge which is also a must read.

This book may have been even more suspenseful than the previous, which I wasn’t sure was possible. Susan Specht Oram really has a talent for psychological thrillers. Once again I was immediately transported into the book.

Whether you choose to read it as a stand alone or part of the series, you won’t regret it.

MUST READ!

If you are a psychological thriller fan, you must read this one. Despite it’s almost 300 pages, it is a very quick read because you CAN’T put it down.

The details and writing is amazing, I was right there in the thick of it. I loved and hated the characters. I despised Dusty and I think that shows how well the writing is, because it came to a point where I truly despise a fictional character.

After reading this I jumped right into the next one.

Little did she know this was a set up and she would be turned into an experiment. In having to deal with her past and her worst fears she finds herself trapped. Being trapped she discovers a whole secret operation going on that is very ethically wrong.

I have quickly come to love this author and this story is one that did not disappoint in keeping me engaged and guessing! Can’t wait to read more from this author!

Jasmine and her friend Phil are trying to get away with stealing a good amount of money from Jasmines boss. All so she can help her sick father with treatment. However they get robbed by a pair of thieves who have a little more experience under their belts!

This story is full of shenanigan’s from each pair, Jas and Phil, Bets and Zerk, Dan and Robbie. When Bets and Zerk are hiding in plain sight and don’t expect to be found. Then the original thieves outsmart them and show up!

You must read to find out if the original pair of thieves are able to steal their money back and what happens to each pair. I loved this story and found it comical at times even remarking out loud how dumb they were being!

The second of the Millersville series, it can be read as a stand alone (it is set in same location but uses different characters).

Loved how the book is told in two different, intertwined stories (Jas who steals money to help her ailing father, and the thieves that “one-up” the original robbers). – The plot twists and turns, alternating narrators almost every chapter, that lead the stories to one concise conclusion. As far as morality, I enjoyed how the author makes you question what (if anything) is worth stealing for. I didn’t enjoy this book as much as Shore Lodge, but it is still a worthwhile read because of the oddities of the characters and situations the author lands Jas in.

This book was a fast read and easy to get sucked into the story. However, you must be willing to set aside reality and the likelihood of the story actually happening. I struggled a bit with that aspect of the story. On that part, I would give the story 3 stars. But overall, it was fun to read, so I am giving it 4 stars. Miranda Diggs is the main character. She is struggling to find herself and figure out her life, especially with childhood trauma following her around. It really was a story of personal growth and learning how to not be selfish. I loved the resolution in the end!

This is the first time I am reading a book by Susan Oram, and it won’t be the last. Who doesn’t love a thriller which pits blood (family) versus friends? I sure don’t!

Read the book to discover how Jackie escapes from the psychiatric ward on an island, and along the way, be amazed at her cleverness of figuring out how to save herself. Remind me a lot of the book Behind Closed Doors, which I also really enjoyed reading. I can’t wait to read the other two books in this series.

Cabin Eight (The Millersville series)Cabin Eight by Susan Specht Oram
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cabin Eight is the third and final book in the Millersville Series but also a stand alone. Like the two books that came before this one, Cabin Eight has plenty of questions, twists, and page turning suspense. While writing and burning notes, Miranda Diggs accidentally sets fire to a motel and things spiral (further) out of her control. To help Miranda get herself back where she wants to be (and avoid the media), her mother sends her to a resort. As you have probably guessed, the resort is not your typical run of the mill, sipping margeritas at the spa, type seclusion. The resort is actually testing Miranda’s fears and limits, as an experiment. This book really challenges the reader to look into their own life, and the choices we make daily, especially when it comes to social media. Of the three books in the series, this was my least favorite, as it felt very bizaar to me at times, but it is still a very good book on it’s own accord and highly recommended.

5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I have become a huge fan of this author and her Millersville Series….and while each book could be read as a stand-alone, I highly suggest reading this series in order and this book was so hard to put down. I was sucked in anticipating each turn of the page of what could possibly happen next.

Miranda Diggs is struggling….she is struggling with past demons that haunt her and her guilt. Miranda’s mother suggests to take a much needed break to at a motel to journal and hope to get past her memories that haunt her. When an unfortunate accident happens and Miranda sets the motel on fire……this is another situation that has her feeling weighed down by hopelessness. When an opportunity arises for Miranda to get away from it all within a cabin in the woods…Miranda checks in and is ready for some clarity to get past her guilt of the motel fire and from an accident from long ago. When Miranda ignores signs of “No Trespassing” on an old barn…then trap is set and fight for survival is real. Weird things are happening, meeting new people along the way, digging up the past as they have known Miranda and her past…..will Miranda be able to save herself as she fights through this maze of trials?

Twists, turns, facing your phobias, secrets and technology…this story had it all and I was all in on the ride. What a great book that really had me at the edge of my seat and at times I felt panicked and out of breath!!

This was such a good read. This is book 3 in The Millersville Series and these books keep getting better and better.
This story is definately not for the faint hearted. There are some hard hitting truths our main character has to come to terms with as well as uncovering a underground secret testing facility.
Miranda has had a tough time of things lately. With the passing of her friend playing constantly on her mind she has become a bit of a rebel always ignoring warning signs or rules.
The term curiosity killed the cat springs to mind with her and that becomes the situation she finds herself in after entering a barn with a no trespassing sign.
What follows is a twist and turning tale full of secrets, deceit, lies, not knowing who to trust, and facing your fears and past traumas. Miranda has to go through all of this if she has any hope of escaping the secret lab underground. Will she be able to escape? Or at the end of it will she know too much to be allowed to leave back into everyday society?

Cabin Eight (The Millersville Series Book 3) by Susan Specht Oram. I LOVE this series and each book I read I think its my favorite. This one I flew thru and didn’t want it to be over. Its a psychological thriller which is my favorite genre but this author really knows how to write! This is the story of Miranda Diggs who is a house cleaner and due to a tragic mistake she sets a fire to a motel in the mountains while working. To try to get her mind off of the tragedy she accepts an invitation to stay at a remote resort. Hoping to get her mind straight and get back to her present life and quit living in the past she arrives at the resort with a clear mind only to find her worst nightmare. While on a walk she can’t keep from investigating a old run down barn but when she gets inside the door closes behind her and locks! Trying to find her way out she encounters dead end after dead end and horror after horror. This journey will test everything Miranda has. This book will have you keeping the lights on for a while. I read this book so fast and did not want to put it down. Do yourself a favor and read this series. You won’t be disappointed.

Cabin Eight (The Millersville Series Book 3) by Susan Specht Oram is book number 3 in the Millersville series and it is a thrilling experience.

She is accustomed to scrubbing floors and getting dirty. However, the dirt she just dug up might be fatal.

Miranda Diggs yearns for forgiveness. But the regret-filled young woman seeks tranquility by making a reservation at a strangely isolated resort after she accidentally sets a motel on fire while trying to erase unwanted memories. After ignoring “No Trespassing” warnings, she steps into a dilapidated barn and is frightened when the doors slam shut… and lock. She is driven by an insatiable curiosity.

To escape, Miranda prys down a trapdoor and follows the tunnel down into a sinister game that appears to be aware of all of her most intimate secrets. Her struggle against the ever-tightening walls becomes more and more dangerous as the trials go from gentle emotional prods to life-or-death circumstances.

Every page was exciting and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It is a unique dark fantasy trilogy. The story brings passion into your life. I couldn’t put the book down. I have binge read the series at this point and I love it.

This is the third book in this author’s Millersville series but only the second I’ve read. That being said, Cabin Eight reads well as a stand-alone book. One thing I noticed in the first book I read by this author is that the thrills throughout each plot make you stop to think… could this really happen? Do people do these things? That in itself is eery and something the author carried into this book as well. I liked the twists and turns throughout this novel and while I didn’t find this book one that I “couldn’t put down” I was still invested from start to finish. Overall, I think this is a really good novel and would definitely recommend to people interested in the thriller/psychological thriller. I hope to read more of this author in the future.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The conspiracy theory behind a government entity ignoring laws and procedures to turn a profit is something you hear about often. At the very least I do. I loved the questions at the end of the book that make you think about what you have read. More authors should do this! I want to discuss a book with someone once I finish a novel, but the questions helped me settle that feeling.

This book was very interesting. It gives Alice in Wonderland vibes. It is also pretty corny, especially near the end. It didn’t stop me from reading it though. I highly enjoyed every page. We all have to face our fears eventually and Miranda’s strength shows that anyone can preserve. I recommend this to anyone looking for a fast paced, conspiracy thriller. I have not been able to put down a novel by this author once I start it, so I may have found a new favorite author!

{Sigh}

This thriller made me stop and think on multiple occasions. There are so many points in the novel where one can stop and think “what if this really happened?” or “what if this is already happening?”

At one point, I was questioning my use of social media…that is how the author sucks you in on the high paced “journey” with Miranda.

It all starts with the simple ritual of writing down her feelings and burning them. One fire later and a trip to a cabin resort and she’s trapped in a barn. Thus, begins her fall down the rabbit hole and descent into the non-wonderland.

While she is trying to escape the madness, she faces her demons and rises victoriously.

I will admit when I first started reading this book, I questioned my choice but after the first few chapters I was pleased I kept reading.

Cabin Eight is the third book in The Millersville Series by Susan Specht Oram. It is a bit of a psychological mystery, with some sci-fi elements, intrigue, agendas, quirky characters, twists, and dramatic developments.

This is the 3rd book I’ve read by this author, and it’s definitely the most bizarre. Cabin Eight is strangely satisfying. The author keeps you intrigued and wanting more. It feels like Alice in Wonderland meets Labyrinth with everything going on.
Miranda finds herself in a lot of unfortunate trouble. Needing a break from life her mom suggested she respond to a resort invite and to take a mini-vacation. Well that mini-vacation sends Miranda on an unwanted adventure that ends up turning into so much more. Lessons to be learned, fears to overcome, and acceptance of things one wants to forget. The resort facility is truly testing Miranda’s strengths and limits. Stating it’s an experiment. All Miranda wants is to get out of this place, get to her car, and leave.
Will she get out of the facility?
Will she complete the experiment?
This book makes you think. Tests one’s limits. While keeping it interesting all the same. No matter the book I will recommend this author. This book is no different but you might want to go into this with a clear and open mind.

Another unique book in the Millersville Series. It is described as a conspiracy theory thriller which seems an apt description. Unfortunately, the whole concept was beyond far fetched. However, it was a quick and fairly entertaining read. It had strong character development which helped with remembering characters easily even though there were many introduced. If you’re into conspiracy theories, this is the book for you.

Cabin Eight is my least favorite from the Millersville series. I highly recommend Shore Lodge and The Thieves instead. I think the biggest issue with the book is that I found the storyline unbelievable. It felt like Alice in Wonderland or a dream world where I was trying to make sense of the trials that Miranda was going through. She must learn from her mistakes to forgive herself for her past. It is a short story and does make you question how many permissions you’ve given away to companies mining your personal information.

Miranda Diggs hasn’t lived the best life. She’s had some childhood trauma that might have prompted her most recent incident. She accidentally sets fire to a motel and subsequently, has a lot of reparations to make. Her mom sends her off to a secluded resort where she can think through her actions and try to get her life together, while avoiding the media. What Miranda doesn’t realize is that the reporter tailing her might be her only hope for survival.

Once at the resort, it doesn’t take Miranda long to figure out that this isn’t your typical location for a private getaway. Things start to go downhill fast and Miranda longs to just be in Cabin Eight.

While this book is part of the Millersville Series, this can be read as a standalone. Of the previous two books and this one that I’ve read, I think this one is my least favorite but it’s still a really good read. There is a lot of twists and turns in this story and it will keep your attention until the end. I look forward to more stories from Susan Specht Oram!
