“The basic plot: in a freak storm, a girl is trapped in a magical hotel and needs to find her way out before midnight or she'll be trapped there forever. What's underneath all that? A terrible mother who is scheming to keep her son 'protected', a vengeful janitor, traitorous friends, a sweet romance, and lots of indulgent costume changes. It's a fun read - and a delight to listen to! - taking the basic structure of The Tempest and giving it a modern spin. It's fun, smart, and unputdownable!”

“Listened to the audio. Well done, author and narrator - 10/10!”

“The audio of this short novel, reworked during the pandemic from a very early version written when Krueger was a young, aspiring-writer, is the perfect road-trip companion, clocking in at 3 ½ hours in length. Both men and women will enjoy this tale of escape, greed, love, loyalty, and redemption.

“Set in a boarding school, this coming-of-age novel begins with the usual premise of an outsider, a scholarship student, arriving at an expensive prep school where her lower-middle-class origins bring ridicule from the resident 'mean girls'. But this page-turning thriller quickly takes an unusual turn... Sarah Taylor is a brilliant student and the ultimate unreliable narrator since her bipolar disorder causes her to hallucinate at times, and her over-stimulated imagination fills in the blanks...”

“Sometimes, you pick up a book, not knowing much about it, and are caught up in the characters' lives, hoping and wishing for the best for them. Ander & Santi was that way for me (especially on audio; Avi Roque is fantastic narrator) - I found I cared about both Ander and Santi, and was invested in their future together. Which, for me, is all the hallmarks of an excellent story, well-told. ”
