So boring !!! Couldn't get into the story. The main characters, Tom and Katie were really annoying.

 I love a haunted house. I love Sicilia, the land of my people. But do I love a haunted house in the land of my people that’s got ghosts and demons galore? Absolutely, yes! I’ve always been fascinated by these 1 Euro homes in Italy and tempted to get my own ramshackle Italian mansion at times, so I found this story to be especially intriguing. There’s just something about these mostly abandoned Italian villages that’s so haunting and fascinating, which are the best words I can use to describe The House of Last Resort. The ending was just the icing on the haunted cake! Masterfully written @christopher_golden!

This was super predictable and not that shocking. The plot didn't flow well and the book was just like Italy glorification like this was written by Italy's tourism board or something. Interesting setting and the characters were likeable, but it just wasn't what it should have been.

I enjoyed it. Little bit it religion mixed with the "dark world".  It def leaves you hanging, so wondering if there's going to be a book 2??
