These hotels have rooms where guests sometimes check in... and wish they could immediately check out! Haunted by their histories, the 11 hotels visited in this title have it all: rooms that turn icy cold for no reason; beds that suddenly have the impression of bodies lying down when none are present; shadowy figures carrying candles up stairways; handprints appearing on mirrors; doors slamming for no reason; and pictures flying off walls. Kids will be fascinated by the nonfiction histories that inspired these tales of paranormal activity. Whether or not the ghosts and their hauntings are real is left for the reader to decide.

So when Willow offers her a job at The Ivan, Evie accepts—but she doesn’t tell Willow that she’s still working for The Ivan’s competition, for fear of losing her new job and friend.

Five people: four are living; three are strangers; two are sisters; one, a teenage hotel chambermaid, has fallen to her death in a dumbwaiter. But her spirit lingers in the world, straining to recall things she never knew. And one night all five women find themselves in the smooth plush environs of the Global Hotel, where the intersection of their very different fates make for this playful, defiant, and richly inventive novel.
