When their mother dies suddenly, 13-year-old Rowan and 11-year-old Nina move in with their aunts. Soon after, Rowan and Nina begin to suspect their aunts possess psychic powers.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Children's fiction/time travel adventure. It starts out as a suspense-mystery (are all those people really ghosts at the abandoned hotel?) but quickly turns into another book about time travel; characters find themselves in the middle of the French Revolution and must escape from several sticky situations. Reasonably entertaining, but apart from the Xavier's and Xanthe's African-American ethnicity, nothing very remarkable.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I liked the fantasy elements brought out in the first chapters: a hotel that slides through time, and a "golden hour" when time stands still. Once we got to 18th century France, I lost interest. But I guess I'm not much of a time travel book buff.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5After their mother is killed in a car crash, Rowan and his little sister, Nina, are sent to their strange aunt’s home in Maine. There they discover a run-down hotel with a time travel portal.Nicely done, with a tip of the hat to time-traveling books before. Williams gives it a fresh taste and in an interesting time: revolutionary France. I’ll read others by her.
