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 ✨

This book made me think a lot about perspective and the way, in books like this, we have to remember that we are getting a biased take on the story. The main character was so well done. Like I wanted to believe her that she was a great person and that her family was just complete and utter dog shit but after finishing I really was wondering if it wasn’t the other way around. The storyline was very good and so many parts of this book just absolutely creeped me the freak out. The author did a really good job of combining real life everyday horrors with the supernatural ghost story.

I could not put this book down. It draws you in with the vacation setting in Italy and the horror of it all sets it’s nails in you. This was quite the ride. The minute I thought I knew where it was heading it took another turn, I loved it! It reminded me how great horror novels can be.
