I struggled to read the book mainly because I did not connect with Vain. As her name suggests, Vain is pretty full of herself from the start. Even though she matures as the story moves ahead, her bravado and her sense of heroism does not match well.
Emma though, reads a lot easier and seems to be a strong female character that is opposite to Vain. While the premise of the story is unique, it is convoluted and I find it hard to follow if I do not pay attention.
It is not a bad book, but one that I will not reread for pleasure.

I loved this story!
4.5* rounded up.

This was quirky and strange. I got major Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy vibes from the cover and the synopsis, but it wasn’t humorous the way that series was. It was very different. Not a bad thing, but not what I expected.

The story starts off hitting the ground running. Like one of our main characters, Emma, we know nothing and learn as we go.

I just wanted to know what was going on with the Hotel. I read this quickly, hoping to get some information. I didn’t really get a full explanation, so I’m hoping there really will be further novels.

I like the sarcastic humour and all the absurdities in this story. Each piece and character seemed very well developed and thought about. The main characters were all so different and interesting. They all sort of complement each other and they were very well described.

The action is fast-paced. New information is introduced with little explanation and I still have no idea about the main question: What is the Hotel? Why is the Hotel?

However, the entire thing is absurd. If you don’t like dry humour, or sarcasm or if you are unwilling to suspend your disbelief, you won’t like this.

I am happy to embrace all those things and enjoyed this immensely!

I liked this book a lot but it does leave a lot of unanswered questions. Who is Arthur, how did he come to rule the hotel and why the Well needs to be continually charged with energy are just some of them. There is not, to be honest, a great deal of plot: several of the captives in the Hotel escape with a magical(?) device which Arthur needs to regain and they are pursued through our world by the Wyatts, duplicates drawn from another world. The story moves along well, the characters are engaging and there is a satisfactory ending with clear potential for a sequel which I hope will not be long in coming.

This book was such a blast to read! 4.5 stars! Urban fantasy is a great way to describe this. They should definitely make this one into a movie. I found myself laughing out loud a lot (which is rare for me when reading)! I imagined Emma as Zoe Dashenel and Vain as Kimiko Glenn. These women are funny and sarcastically genuis. The hotel and wyatts are super interesting and cant wait to read more from this series! I only dinged it half a star because the middle was a bit stretched but this is a MUST read! And seriously please make a movie out of this. It would be a girl Deadpool movie and I would be down!

This is my first book that I've read by this author, and I am hooked. I enjoyed the mix between suspense and humor.
The main characters were a pleasure to follow, each unique and fleshed out. The villain was interesting and posed an adequate challenge, keeping the story engaging and fun.
I enjoyed the plot and all its turns.
Some of the character actions seemed unusual and irrational. That occasionally took me out of the story. I also wouldn't call this so much a "horror" story as a fantasy, but it was still enjoyable and something I would like to follow. I definitely intent to read more from the author and will likely recommend this book to friends once it is realeased.

Vain has no filter and I like it. That is my very first thought about this book. The story has a unique premise, one that I haven't heard of before. It is very much a let's get started book. I want to know the purpose of the well and what Arthur has planned. Guess I'll have to wait until book two to find out.
