SO CREEPY AND SO GOOD 😳 I am going to be thinking about this story for a while!

Anna is such a badass. Initially, I was unsure of whether I liked her or not, but as the story went on and the narrative unfolded I realised she was so villainised.

LET’S JUST SAY IT, the family were the fucking villains! Thank fuck for maybe Justin, Mia and Waverly 🙄

I am glad there was a relatively happy ending to it.

There is nothing like tying up loose ends than the protagonist always having a symbol of their haunting to keep, but then getting to move to Italy and be an artist 😂

I’m not saying it’s a happy tale throughout though. In fact, if you get squirmish I would not recommend this! Content warnings included below.

4 out of 5 stars for me, thank you ✨

Complex family relationships coming to light on an Italian vacation. Plus some creepy ghosts. Very enjoyable!

I enjoyed this book. I believe it can be easily adapted. I think the twists/change in scenery made it feel a little longer than expected but it could be how annoying the family is. They did not deserve the main character, Anna. She turned out to be THAT girl. 

The main twist that I did like is that it went from a haunted house story to a haunted object story. Although I felt that it was weird that Anna kept the object.

Anyway. It was a solid read.
