A Void of Magic by Sandy Williams

Four years ago, Kennedy Rain got out of the family business. She wouldn't have come back now except her parents want to go on a second honeymoon. Again. So now she's back. And there's something going on, secrets that her parents have been keeping. It's well known that The Rain is a "null place". The problems (and pluses) that come with being a paranormal (vampire, werewolf, etc.) are voided in The Rain and there has been a treaty in place for hundreds of years keeping Kennedy's family and The Rain safe. But someone isn't happy with the status quo. Suddenly, the tables have turned and the treaty has been breached. 
This book, of course, reminded me of the Innkeeper's Chronicles by Ilona Andrews. The ages are a bit younger but you have the site of an Inn being "neutral territory" and a hotel owner who has (or at least it's hinted out) powers as well. 
Like most first books, this book is just the seed of an idea. There's not a lot developed about the hotel and there are a lot of secrets that even the readers don't get to know. It's an interesting start and I suspect the readers of Williams's other books may enjoy this one.

Three stars
This book comes out July 27th, 2021
