The Hotel Genovie by Shane M. Ryan

“While the storm raged in a thunderous applause, while ravens were found in the most unnatural of places, and while all the haunts and fears were climbing from the depths of his shaken soul, Lawrence was expected to continue in his life’s pursuit to provide perfect accommodation for his guests.” The novel, The Hotel Genovie, by Shane M. Ryan, leads us through the initially lighthearted antics of the hotel’s manager, Lawrence Erlik, as he seeks to bring unsurpassed service to his guests, only to discover unraveling mysteries that abound despite his efforts. Lawrence begins to question whether he is growing delirious, as events become more bizarre by the moment. Through the benefit of an array of likable supporting characters, The Hotel Genovie, explores the bounds we take in forgetting our transgressions, and the powers dedicated to confronting the burdens we wrought on others.
