Big white lotus vibes from this one! I loved how the family dynamics developed over time into a crescendo of insanity. 

The descriptions of the hauntings/ghosts felt very physical and made the whole book very chilling. 

I dont know if we are supposed to, but I really liked Anna. I found myself relating to her a lot, especially in regards to that particular group of people.

Only downside for me was, after the holiday in Tuscanny, I felt the pace of the book slow down drastically. While still invested and very much intrigued in what will happen, I think it lost some of the charm and pull that the villa/family dynamics had.

DID NOT FINISH: 34%

The first half was great and creepy but I was spoiled on the second half and didn’t think I’d like it.
