Anytime: The legendary Hotel Magnifique is like no other.
The legendary Hotel Magnifique is like no other: a magical world of golden ceilings, enchanting soirées and fountains flowing with champagne. It changes location every night, stopping in each place only once a decade. When the Magnifique comes to her hometown, seventeen-year-old Jani hatches a plan to secure jobs there for herself and her younger sister, longing to escape their dreary life.
Luck is on their side, and with a stroke of luminous ink on paper the sisters are swept into a life of adventure and opulence. But Jani soon begins to notice sinister spots in the hotel’s decadent façade. Who is the shadowy maître who runs the hotel? And can the girls discover the true price paid by those who reside there – before it’s too late?
The world of the hotel which moves during the night is quite remarkable. The novel is set in the fictional town of Durc but it is clearly set in France and has a French feel to the whole thing. The name of the hotel is a bit of a giveaway! Imagine a hotel where you are lucky to visit and stay, you have the time of your life but there is a catch – as soon as you leave you will forget what you have seen, heard, tasted – your entire experience in fact.
Hotel Magnifique is magical hotel that moves through oceans at the stroke of midnight. It is known to be the only place where people with magic in their blood have any control over their magic. And they use this magic to host a variety of guests and treat them with the time of their lives; with the only clause that guests will forget what they witness the moment they step out.
