Nell and her father have relocated again, but he promises this will be the last time. He's landed his dream job as the guest relations manager at the Winslow Grand Hotel. They are both still grieving her mother's death a few years ago, and Nell hopes this job will help.
Strange things begin to happen from the moment they arrive. Nell hears music and voices no one seems to notice, but there's no way she's telling her father--not even when the nightmares start. She doesn't want him to think she is losing the progress she made on her nightmares and hallucinations with her therapist in Colorado.
In 1905, Lea arrives at the Grand with her parents and younger brother for the summer. The hotel is a beautiful prison for Lea because she will have to marry her overbearing and possibly violent fiance at the end of the summer.
In the present, Nell is strangely drawn to Alec, a brooding hotel employee surrounded by rumours. And what about her "hallucinations" that bear a strong resemblance to an actual murder in the hotel's past?
Chelsea Bobulski's spooky new romance is like Titanic...with ghosts! This was fast-paced love story with a supernatural twist. Was it predictable? Yes. Did I still enjoy it? Yes! The romance is balanced by some quality horror scenes. Hand this one to readers who enjoy deep, dark, soulmate love stories. Recommended for grades 8 and up.
Have a nice week!
