This was an amazing romantasy. I received this ARC today and I was about 30% through this book in the first gulp before I even realized I was tucked in. It was like the starving hunger of a little kid at the adult Thanksgiving dinner table for the first time. The part I loved most about this book is how spectacularly relatable the main character was. She doesn't share many of my traits, but she was having my thoughts and reacting the way I wanted to, and having my same values. It was as though I was the one experiencing a magical inn and I couldn't get enough.

We're not supposed to put direct quotes in reviews of ARCs in case the book changes a little. But, without a quotation, when the male romantic interest asked the main character if she could imagine a story where she's happy in the end and then tells her it's ok to imagine herself happy. She deserves it, he tells her. Oh, I just melted.

Plot wise, this book is the same general concept of the magic inn "clean sweep" series by Ilona Andrews. I liked those too. This one did it better, though. However, I thought it was worth pointing out for those that didn't care for that series. (Who even are you? But that's an aside.)

I was really excited about this book and found myself wanting to tell everyone on the street. But I know that wouldn't go over too well. ME: have you read this great book? THEM: my relationship with Jesus is fine, thank you. ME: No, you misunderstand, I meant THIS book. With the hotel. THEM: *backing away from the excentric book lady* ME: Well, that's fair, really. No one to blame but myself, truly.

If I had to write a negative thing about the book it would be the need for at least one more chapter. It's not enough to make a complete resolution of the plot. I want a chapter to bask in the characters' happiness with them.

If you'll excuse me, I have a library date with Elizabeth Everett's other books, because, it turns out, she's not a debut and I have a sudden reading backlog.
