About this listen

"Narrator Sophie Amoss makes Elizabeth an empathetic and appealing character as she becomes more and more determined to solve the book’s puzzle." (AudioFile Magazine)

Recommended by Parents' Choice

Winterhouse by Ben Guterson is an enchanting urban fantasy middle-grade debut - the first audiobook in a trilogy - set in a magical hotel full of secrets.

Orphan Elizabeth Somers’s malevolent aunt and uncle ship her off to the ominous Winterhouse Hotel, owned by the peculiar Norbridge Falls. Upon arrival, Elizabeth quickly discovers that Winterhouse has many charms - most notably its massive library. It’s not long before she locates a magical book of puzzles that will unlock a mystery involving Norbridge and his sinister family.

But the deeper she delves into the hotel’s secrets, the more Elizabeth starts to realize that she is somehow connected to Winterhouse. As fate would have it, Elizabeth is the only person who can break the hotel’s curse and solve the mystery.

But will it be at the cost of losing the people she has come to care for, and even Winterhouse itself? Mystery, adventure, and beautiful writing combine in this exciting debut audiobook richly set in a hotel full of secrets.

Excellent Listen!

I wasn't familiar with this book, but it was recommended to our family by a 12-year-old friend. She was really excited about it, and now I see why! On to the second book in the series!

I love this book!!

It was very soothing to listen to. The characters are very detailed and the whole storyline was very good. I really liked all the details of the tastes, smells, and appearances of winter house.

Pretty okay. 😁

I liked the story. A bit rushed towards the end, but that's to be expected. I feel like a sequel should be on the way.

Great mystery!

Great mystery with puzzle, codes, and riddles. The cliffhanger at the end is a good one to lead into the next book of the trilogy. I love the happy ending and realization at the end!

Engaging

I was looking for a MR book that I’d like as much, if not more than the Greenglass House. This was quick and it kept my attention, I’ll listen to the others in the series now that I’m invested in Elisabeth and Freddy.

Fun Listen for the winter Time!

The story and performance overall was enjoyable. Although I felt that the last couple of chapters were slightly drawn out the performance was light and an easy listen.

Surprisingly fun

This book exceeded our expectations. At first, it sounded like a Harry Potter knock-off, but soon established its own creativity and unique charm. The puzzles and mysteries woven through the novel were inventive, fun, and engaging. The whole family was enthralled.
