Fabulous resort hotel,\nremote, elegant, luxurious,

Fabulous resort hotel,
\nremote, elegant, luxurious,
\nwho would ever want to check out?<\/p>\n
Audrey’s drowning in grief<\/a> from her mom’s recent death, but handsome Elias at the Hotel Ruby distracts her a bit… if Dad will just keep extending their stay, perhaps she and brother Daniel won’t get dumped at Grandma’s (forever)<\/p>\n When you visit your local library<\/a> or independent bookstore<\/a>, ask for Hotel For the Lost<\/em> if you want the October 2016 paperback or Hotel Ruby<\/em> for the original hardback – the story is identical. <\/p>\n I think the publisher really goofed here by changing title and cover. Book info<\/strong>:\u00a0Hotel For the Lost \/ Suzanne Young. Simon Pulse, 2016. (published in 2015 hardback as Hotel Ruby) [author site<\/a>]\u00a0 [publisher site<\/a>]\u00a0 For both hardback & paperback: Review copy and cover image courtesy of the publisher.<\/p>\n My book talk<\/strong>: A mountain shortcut takes Audrey, her brother, and their dad to the elegant Hotel Ruby, where guests and staff members conceal a mysterious secret.<\/p>\n The Arizona teen’s grief over her mother’s recent death is occasionally diverted by tales of the Nevada hotel’s ghosts, especially if told by handsome Elias as they roam its halls, despite warnings from a friendly young housekeeper that Eli is a heartbreaker.<\/p>\n Why did only her dad and brother get invitations to the nightly gala party in the ballroom? Maybe Dad will keep delaying their departure, and never take them to live forever with their maternal grandmother – but does anyone ever check out of the Hotel Ruby?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fabulous resort hotel, remote, elegant, luxurious, who would ever want to check out?
