I am legitimately upset that I finished reading this book as quickly as I did. I yelled out "NO!" when the last page ended, that is how engrossed I was in this story, and you better believe that I will be picking up subsequent books in the series just as fast as I can get my hands on them.

This book was exceedingly well written and edited. I was pulled into the story from the very first paragraph and emerged only after the last page was turned… at 4:14 AM. I didn't run into any obvious typos or grammatical errors. The narrative flowed effortlessly and the world-building and plot of the story were fantastic and filled with an array of colorful and enigmatic characters. Blake and Kennedy had a sizzling spark between them that had me cheering for Blake from the sidelines (no matter how much Kennedy denied him).

I adored everything about this book except maybe that it ended. I am devastated that I can't just pick up the next book in the series right away - because this was an ARC - and it's not even released yet at the time I'm writing this review. UGH.

If you love paranormal romances and urban fantasy, I would highly recommend you pick up this book. You won't regret it. I was absolutely floored by how good this story was.

The Rain Hotel is the only null zone on the planet. It is (*in appearance*) a safe heaven for paranormals who need to escape, at least temporary, from their magic, and the Rain family has run it for centuries protecting the secret of paranorms' existence.
Kenney Rain, however, doesn't want anything to do with it. So bad that an ill-timed vacation has forced her back among the paranorms' world, with all its secrets and feuds. So much worse that she has found herself amid a paranormal mess, with the insufferable daughter of the local Alpha wanting her to host her wedding unconcerned by the war that will spark from it, a missing groom (who is, btw, the scion of the most powerful vampire around), two unreachable parents with mysterious whereabouts, and tons of secrets.

This book is UF at its finest and totally blew me away.
I loved everything about this, including but not limited to:
- the interesting and well-crafted world-building
- the beautiful storytelling and flow of the story
- the unpredictable storyline full of twist
- our oh-so relatable heroine
- the Rain Hotel staff
- the secrets
- the reasons that kept Kennedy away from the paranormal world and the choices she made that entangled her with it again
- the believable hint of romance that connects Kennedy to Blake
- the starcrossed relationship between Nora and Jared
- all the unanswered questions that I hope will be sated in the next book(s)

Loved this book! Thank you Netgalley and Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op for the arc. I thought the synopsis sounds interesting and completely different than anything I have seen. The book starts a little slow, but picks up super fast and I couldn’t put it down. It is a very fast read and really kept my attention throughout it. The characters were fun and honestly was just such a great book. I can’t wait until the next one! I had one of the authors other series on my tbr, but never got around to it. Definitely going to prioritize it now!

Kennedy Rain and her family have run the Rain Hotel for ages. The only place the paranormal can go and void their magic. She thought she could get away and lead a normal life. Not happening. Just found another favorite series! This is a new, unique storyline that I couldn’t put down. Sucked me in from page one and held on the whole way through. Looking forward to more in this series!

Would 100% recommend!!

I received a copy of this wonderful book via NetGalley (thank you Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op). All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I really enjoyed the world that Sandy has created for her Kennedy Rain series. Like her other series, it’s clear she likes to steer away from the cliche worlds that her paranorms are usually found in and really pulls it off.

I loved seeing kennedy’s development throughout the book, thought the dialogue between characters is fun and engaging, and there is a definite slow-burn tension developing between Kennedy and Blake which felt natural and unforced. Steamy too, I love me an alpha!

The concept of the hotel reminded me of Ilona Andrews Innkeeper Chronicles so if you loved those then definitely give this book a read.

So engaging that I read this in one sitting! Cannot wait for the next in the series!

I am glad that I got a chance to read an eArc of this book. The writing I loved as it carried the story and the plot. And for the length of the novel, I am happy that I could read it in a day. I didn't want to put the book down. I loved the plot throughout the story. It kept me wanting to find out what would be happening next. Seeing the character relationships develop through the story made me interested in what would happen between them. It didn't go in the direction that I thought it would go in. I am excited to read the next book in the series to find out what happens next.
