Synopsis: Magnus Bane watches the once-glamorous Hotel Dumort become something else altogether in 1970s New York City.Fifty years after the Jazz Age rise of the Hotel Dumort, immortal warlock Magnus Bane knows the Manhattan landmark is on the decline. The once-beautiful Hotel Dumort has fallen into a decayed thing, a ruin, as dead as a place can be. But the vampires don't mind...
This short story takes place in the 70s and things are crazy! Vampires being reckless and just awful. There’s a vampire killer out there and the werewolves are worried that they might be found out by mundanes and that they (the werewolves) would get in trouble too by extension. So in order to avoid this, the werewolves were covering for those assholes! It was a mess! And Camille was awful in this. While I can see (from the Edmund Herondale short story) why Magnus would like her, in this one? No. She sucks. Lol.
I have to mention the first couple of lines of the story because they are just so good!
“What do you do?” the woman asked.
“This and that,” Magnus said.
“Are you in fashion? You look like you're in fashion.”
“No,” he said. “I am fashion.”
“This and that,” Magnus said.
“Are you in fashion? You look like you're in fashion.”
“No,” he said. “I am fashion.”
🤣 You know it! Lol. Anyway, it was a really interesting story and I really enjoyed it!
