The Otherwhere Post by Emily J. Taylor
5.0
I’m a little irritated, because this means my husband was right: he was the first of us to read Hotel Magnifique. And he encouraged me to request an ARC of The Otherwhere Post so he could live vicariously (without me sharing anything about the book).
I really liked Hotel Magnifique. I LOVED The Otherwhere Post. Maeve was so easy to connect with: not a perfect heroine by any means, she’s an evasive loner who starts out caring about her goals and not much else. She has suffered so much, and she’s driven to get answers — and she doesn’t mind taking the necessary steps to get them.
Tristan was a great counterpart for her. He isn’t perfect either: haunted and stubborn and secretive. It was such fun to watch them interact.
And the magic system! It felt unique and fun, developed but not overwrought. Emily J. Taylor is staying on my “they write it, I’ll read it” list.
Thank you to Penguin for the ARC; these are my honest opinions. And now I get to hold it over my husband.

I’m so mad I waited to read this book. I was swept up from the beginning and rode the tide — FINE, THE CRIMSON TIDE — through the story. Rune and Gideon kept me enthralled, and I loved the dual POV so you got the full impact of all their emotions.
Here’s your tip: make new friends at midnight book releases and ask about their favorite reads. They won’t steer you wrong.
