The description of this standalone book hooked me immediately - Audrey, her brother Daniel and her Father are all travelling across the country to stay with her Grandmother after the death of her Mother a few months before. Audrey is angry - and guilty because it was her actions during her grief that caused her Father to decide to dump Audrey and her twin brother miles from home. Suddenly deciding to stay at the extravagant Hotel Ruby for the night, as soon as Audrey sets foot in the doors things will never been the same again. 
 The main focus of this book is relationships - the broken relationship between Audrey and her father, the budding romance between Audrey and hotel resident Elias. The stay at Hotel Ruby completely pulled Audrey and her family apart so I didn't question it when she fell for Elias quite quickly, especially as it wasn't the typical annoying flowery writing about the way he smelled like a summer's breeze *roll eyes*. 
 This did has some bad points, the biggest one was simply that I could smell the plot twist a mile off and it didn't surprise me at all. However the creepy hotel atmosphere, the skulking manager-or-something Kenneth and the gorgeous, off-limits all night parties that everyone but Audrey seems to be invited to more than made up for this. Elias was swoon-worthy at times but he did annoy me occaisionally, too. 
 This is basically a great gothic mash-up of Hotel California and The Shining, with a good plot twist (which is better if you don't see it coming). It's a standalone too and less than 300 pages so definitely worth the read if you want a book that will keep you up way, way later than you planned to.
