Welcome to the Hotel Ruby, a suspenseful story laden with foreshadowing and figurative symbolism that mystery fans will enjoy.  Audrey and Daniel Cassella have recently lost their mother.  Their father was never really into parenting them and made plans for them to live at their maternal grandmother’s for the summer after Audrey had a party at her house.  On the drive from Phoenix to Elko in northern Nevada, they stop into the Hotel Ruby, which is a splurge.  Visually stunning, Audrey’s room is separated from her brother and fathers– hers being on the 13th floor which is under renovations.  Immediately, each person in the family is swept up, and away from each other, by the hotel’s oddities.  But when Audrey begins visually seeing people with blood on them when they are perfectly fine, she knows there isn’t quite right. Drama and tension build to a point where Audrey even tries to leave the hotel, but “the door only leads into the Ruby.”  Each character is questionable in their motivations, leading the reader, like Audrey, unable to know who to trust.  And while one might think they know how the story will wrap up, they too should not trust the oddities of the Hotel Ruby.  This page turner from Suzanne Young is recommended for high school audiences.
