The night is perfect and glorious and sparkling, too beautiful to be real. Like magic.
Anna may have grown up in glitzy Las Vegas, but she's determined that no one will ever call her shallow. While her older sister Emily is the star of the family, Anna is the diligent stage manager, making sure that both their lives go perfectly to plan. But when Emily reveals a startling betrayal, Anna flees in the middle of a raging storm and takes shelter in a boutique establishment she's never seen before: The Houdini.
Inside, Anna discovers a magic hotel ... and a magical boy. Earnest, curious Max has lived his entire life inside the Houdini. Over the course of one surreal evening, he becomes Anna's guide to the curious building. For the first time in her life, Anna is center stage, in a place that anticipates her every desire, with a boy who only has eyes for her.
But that's because the Houdini has no other guests. No one ever enters the Houdini ... and no one ever leaves. When the clock strikes midnight, Anna will be trapped in the Houdini forever. If Anna's ever going to find out who she is on her own in the real world, she'll first have to make an impossible escape. But will she be able to do it if it means leaving Max behind?
