I gave this book a second chance and it was TOTALLY worth it. I get why people say it gives Caraval vibes, but it's not like Caraval at all. Im deciding wether to give this 3.5 or 4 because it was a unique idea, some good plot twists, and it was definitely magical. BUT the main character can be so stupid and reckless sometimes, I just wanted to slap her to make her realize that what she was doing it's not logic. LIKE AT ALL THE TIME she came up with the WORST decisions ever. I DID enjoyed it because I was so invested in the back story of the hotel, and how the magicians have the power, and also the plot twists were good.
But Jani was totally a disappointment.

I started this with no expectations, without even reading the back cover, and it gave me more that I wanted. SO MUCH MORE. I didn't expect this to be as good as it was. I was scare at the beginning because I told myself that it was probably going to be hard to read, since is fantasy, and fantasy most of the times for me is hard to get into. But NO I WAS wrong, soooo easy to get into. I CANT wait to read book 2. This book is now on my TOP 5 books of 2022 no joke.

4.5 UFF a long time i don't read such a good serial killer book. After reading the a good girls guide to murder series, I though I would never experience what I experienced reading that series. Like NEVER ever again. BUTTTTTT THIS BROUGHT ME BACK!!
I felt as if I was watching a criminal minds episode, but make it teenagers... and I little bit more graphic. I love to experience emotions while reading a book, and this one gave it all. I was feeling anxious, mostly scared, SAD, intrigued, and confused most of the time. And I was ALSO trying to figure out all the clues and everything that was going on. I read this in a day which I guess says it all. The way that I was genuinely scared of some of the people is unbelievable. Everytime Emma would interview Simon, I had an uneasy feeling in my stomach. I didn't wanted her, or anyone near him. The author did a really good job making him psychologically, mentally unstable, (for a teenager). I remembered one page that LITERALLY made my heart stop, just one sentence. I felt as if I WAS there. Overall I just won't be able to sleep, not because I'm scared (which part of me is still traumatized), but because how GOOD this was.
ALSO I cried

4.5⭐️ Wow that ending was one that actually attached more and MORE to this series it was good and bad(in a good way)? After finishing this book I totally picked up the second one lol. Ummmmmm I totally like Hunter I think he is now my favorite character, also Stevie's pls dump David like girl HE.IS.NOT.WORTH.IT

THIS BOOK!!! It got me out of my reading slump is addicting and funny. I totally see myself in the characters of this book, I identify mostly with Stevie but also Nate. I never have read a book we're I could identify myself sooo much totally 5/5 on that. I felt this was the kind of book I needed to get out of my reading slump, YA, Mystery with a little bit of romance and plot twists chef kiss I can't wait to read the second book!! The ending got me waiting for moreeeee!! Totally a must read.

This book was ADDICTING. I can't explain how addicting it was, I stayed awake till 12 to finish it. The world is easy to understand in my opinion, I've read a couple of dystopian and this, I have to admit, IS THE BEST ONE so far. I liked the dynamic of her being a villain and Adrian a superhero, It was cool because all the tension she had with her being a “villain” and Adrian not knowing anything about it. Which for me was heartbreaking because he doesn't now and he believes her. Well after all I knew that Ace was not dead. But it's interesting that she never said ANYTHING about Ace being dead, which I DIDNT notice what?? After all I give the book a 4 just because it was addicting. Because for me was a solid 3.5. But yeah I haven't read any addicting books in a while.
LOVEEEEE ADRIANN
