It certainly gives off the Caraval vibes - enchanting, alluring and yet it has dark secrets underneath it.
I absolutely love the strong sister bond between Zosa and Jani.
The interesting characters inside the hotel kept me interested with their background story revealed little by little as the story goes.
I also love the blooming slow burn sweet romance between Jani and Bel!
I love the mysterious Bel, he's very swoon worthy! It made me wish there's his POV in this story.
The ending was a bit too rushed in my opinion but otherwise, it was all a happy ending for all the characters.
Overall, it's an enchanting debut novel with easy to read writing style that will hooked you right into the plot to explore this magical mysterious hotel!
I'll definitely check out other books by this author in the future!

This was *a lot* darker and crueler than I thought it was going to be. I actually liked that a lot about this book.
This first 25% of the book was a little bit unhinged, it felt as though the writer had to catch her stride, but the book just got better and better.
