Hotel Magnifique by Emily J. Taylor

5.0

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for granting me an ARC.

The first thing that drew me in to Hotel Magnifique was the cover, the second was the title and the third was the summary. I found myself really intrigued and wanting to delve into the book to see if it was as good as my brain was making it out to be. I'm happy to say it was!

I found Jani on a lot of occasions to be quite selfish and rash. She wanted to give her sister a better life, but it couldn't be without her. I get it, family want to stick together but it seemed like Jani was only looking out for Zosa's best interests if she got something out of it as well. It left me wondering how much she truly cared for Zosa's well-being.

I was a little suspicious of Bel and at one point believed that he was the ringmaster around the mysteries of the hotel. I definitely wasn't expecting the twist towards the end however, surrounding the maƮtre.

The book starts to take a darker turn mid-way through so I personally wouldn't recommend anyone below the age of 15 to read it, or anyone who is squeamish about eyes.
