The cover!!!🤌🏼
The media could not be loaded. The cover is to die for! I received it In a very good condition. I love the packaging. I love everything about the book. It has a velvety texture to the cover which gives it a premium feel and the golden fonts!!🤌🏼🤎 Worth buying.

almost perfect
First of all finding a GOOD book is hard. Finding a hardcover of a good book for cheap is probably unheard of so i cant have any complaints. The tiniest bone that i have to pick is the the book was slightly damaged but its not very apparent, you can barely tell unless you look for it. Overall im very happy with it.

Hotel Magnifique is no ordinary hotel.
Hotel Magnifique by Emily J. Taylor is a whimsical and enchanting YA fantasy that captivates readers with its imaginative setting and compelling characters. If you loved The Night Circus and The Truman Show, this is your HOLY GRAIL! Set in the magical and ever-changing Hotel Magnifique, the story follows Jani and her younger sister, Zosa, who find themselves swept into a world of magic, illusions, wonder, and perhaps danger.Hotel Magnifique is no ordinary hotel. At midnight, it magically appears in a different city, shrouded in mystery and allure. Guests from all walks of life eagerly await its arrival, ready to pay extraordinary sums for a night within its enchanted walls. Yet, there's a catch—a tantalizing twist that adds to the hotel's enigmatic charm. Upon entering, guests agree to a unique condition. They will savor every moment of their stay, indulge in its opulence, and revel in the magical experiences offered. But when they leave, they do so with no recollection of these memories. The details of their stay vanish, leaving them with only the lingering feelings of joy and euphoria.The story begins in Durc, a drab and dreary town where Jani and Zosa live. Orphaned and struggling to make ends meet, Jani works at a tannery while Zosa, gifted with a beautiful singing voice, performs at local venues. Their mundane existence is disrupted by the arrival of the legendary Hotel Magnifique, a magical hotel that changes location every night and offers wondrous experiences to its guests. Eager for a way out, Jani sees the hotel as an opportunity for a better life for both her and Zosa.Jani is characterized by her determination, resourcefulness, and deep sense of loyalty, especially toward her younger sister, Zosa. Jani’s relationship with Zosa is the heart of this magical story. Taylor depicts this sisterly bond with depth and tenderness.Hotel Magnifique dazzles with reveals and jaw-dropping moments, each twist a hook that tethers you to its pages. The romance subplot whispers through the narrative, a subtle thread that enhances rather than overshadows the main storyline. The setting and world-building are wonderful. The hotel, its rooms, and the enchantments are vividly described and a joy to read about. The opulence of the hotel contrasts with the underlying darkness, creating a mood both intoxicating and foreboding.

Fabulous Story of Mystery, Magic, and Romance
Emily J. Taylor’s Hotel Magnifique was recommended to me as part of a 12 book challenge for 2023 and I went into it knowing very little. I did a combination of reading and listening to the audio book, and I was quickly swept away by the story. It centers around a young woman named Jani who sets out on an adventure filled with mystery, magic, danger, and romance at the magical hotel.The plot of this book is extremely intriguing from the very beginning and makes the book a relatively quick read as I suspect you, like me, will not be able to put it down. Jani’s journey into the magical world of the Hotel Magnifique is stunning, with amazing descriptions and enough twists and turns in the plot that it will keep you guessing until the very end. I loved the way magic is woven seamlessly into the story to create a vibrant and fascinating world.I think Taylor’s writing style is a big factor in keeping audiences engaged throughout the story. She creates a descriptive narrative through Jani’s experiences and I quickly became emotionally invested in not only Jani but the characters around her that would ultimately become her found family. Not every author is capable of producing a true emotional response from their readers, so it is always refreshing when you discover a hidden gem like Hotel Magnifique.The hotel houses an extremely diverse group of characters. Jani’s story is the main focus of the novel, but I believe the characters around her help create the heart of the tale. At first most of the plot revolves around Jani’s relationship with her little sister, Zosa, who she first follows to the hotel and then must save. The sibling’s devotion to each other, especially in the final quarter of the book, is truly well written and will pull on the heart strings of readers.As the story progresses we also meet Bel, the hotel’s doorman, who becomes Jani’s one true ally and eventual love interest. Bel is one of those characters who will grab your attention from the very beginning. He is mysterious, a bit broody, and his chemistry with Jani is undeniable. I found myself rooting for them almost immediately, and their bickering throughout the story had me snickering quite often. Their relationship added just enough romance to the plot to truly keep me invested to the very end.I both read and listened to the audio version of this book, and I highly recommend both options. I loved the narrator for the audio book, Suzy Jackson, and honestly could have listened to her read for hours on end. She had such fantastic inflection and her accents are spot on. At no time did I grow bored listening to her or feel that she was simply reading the words on the page. Jackson is a true story teller, and I would definitely seek out other audio books she’s narrated.This book was a solid 5 out 5 for me. It’s low on spice, but with plenty of romance, so I gave it a 2 out of 5. It is the sort of book that would be appropriate for any YA fantasy fan, and I can not recommend it enough.

Family and friends above all!
The prologue pulled me right in! Two sisters are trying to get an interview for jobs at the Hotel Magnifique. Jani watches over her younger sister Zosa, since she's the only family she has left. Their mother died several years ago. Jani wants to go back to their homeland and they need money to travel there. Hotel Magnifique is stopping close by and Jani talks Zosa into interviewing for a job. Secrets surround the hotel and once they’re part of the workforce, they’re separated. Jani is desperate to find her sister and when she does, she’s horrified at how Zosa is being treated. Jani also digs for the truth about how the hotel is run and who’s in charge. Alistair is the lead magician but he’s hiding much and will do anything to protect what he’s gained. Danger builds and mysteries are cracked wide open as Jani tries to save her sister and eventually everyone that’s been used by Alistair for his greedy goals. Family and friends above all, 4 stars!

Magical
I'll lap up anything regarding hidden worlds within the mainstream but the immersion of the reader in this new incredible world whilst being fixed inside a hotel is perfectly balanced. I loved the contrast of there being "so much out there" but, if you look, there's so much around you as well. A great read.
