At the Looking Glass Hotel, every guest arrives with a secret-and some never leave with their own name.
When Lily Vance receives an invitation to an exclusive underground party hidden beneath the hotel, she enters a world of violet smoke, mirrored corridors, dangerous strangers, and forbidden pleasures. At the center of it all is White Rabbit, a black cigarette rumored to reveal what a room is hiding, what a person truly desires, and what they might destroy to believe.
Then Lily disappears.
Her older sister, Elara, arrives determined to bring her home. Instead, she finds the body of a woman everyone remembers differently. Some call her beautiful. Others remember a man. Several insist she was someone they once loved. Every witness agrees on only one thing:
Her name was Alice.
As Elara descends deeper into the hotel's seductive nightlife, she encounters Lucien Grey, the elegant heir imprisoned by his family's sins; Felix, a bartender who serves memories with every drink; and Sable, a mysterious dealer who does not simply sell White Rabbit-he trades in secrets, identities, favors, and the parts of people they can never replace.
Behind the glamour lies a ritual that has repeated for nearly a century. Women vanish. Names are stolen. Bodies are rearranged. And the hotel continues preparing new guests for a vacancy that must always be filled.
To save Lily, Elara must uncover who murdered Alice, why everyone remembers a different victim, and what truly happens when someone inhales the third breath of White Rabbit.
Dark, decadent, seductive, and relentlessly mysterious, A Vacancy Named Alice is a psychological horror thriller filled with dangerous temptation, supernatural betrayal, scandalous guests, fractured identities, and a hotel that remembers everything its visitors desperately try to forget.
Some guests check in to escape their lives.
At the Looking Glass, someone else may check out wearing them.
