Loved it. 🌶️🥵 great spice. Love how House Gluttony is portrayed, Gabriel‘s plotting & the ICE DRAGONS! Adriana spirals quite a bit, from the perspective of being a single woman without a suitable match who can‘t afford another scandal… it‘s not that I don‘t get it, but ooof. Luckily it doesn‘t dwell there for too long, she was a lil maddening. Really loving this series!

I loved this book. Alfred buys an old Victorian manor and turns it into the Hitchcock Hotel and invites his estranged college friends for the weekend. He has plans, and they all have secrets 🖤

This is somewhat of a convoluted ghost story. The premise is interesting but some of the ending is a bit much. Flora has just had her first child and is having some supernatural postpartum psychosis issues.

Remie Yorke took a job at the MacKinnon Hotel in the Scottish Highlands to be close to her brother, the only family she had left. Now he is dead & Remie has one shift left before she catches a flight & leaves for good. Only Remie & 2 guests are left at the hotel so it should be an easy shift but then Storm Ezra threatens to derail her plans as a blizzard hits.

OutsmartYourShelf As the lone member of staff at the hotel, Remie is manning Reception when a man raps on the door. He is injured & says he is PC Don Gaines who was escorting a prisoner out on the mountain road when an accident killed everyone else involved except the prisoner who escaped. Remie lets him in reluctantly & he says he needs to check the hotel & grounds for the escaped prisoner. A short while later, a second stranger arrives. 1d
OutsmartYourShelf He is also injured & his name is...PC Don Gaines.

I've been looking forward to reading this one for a while & it mostly lives up to its promise. The plot is simple & yet effective with two men claiming to be the same person & no way to tell who is telling the truth. Good pacing & intriguing characters helped the story along, but it lost me in the final third when Remie decided she was John McClane.

OutsmartYourShelf Overall it was entertaining but it became less & less believable as time went on.
3.5🌟
