A review by andrea_connors
The Villa by Rachel Hawkins
2.5
*I received this book from NetGalley in return for a honest review*
This book sadly disappointed me. I have read and enjoyed books by Rachel Hawkins in the past and I was just expecting more than what this book gave me.
Firstly, this book was written with two timelines and right from the very beginning I was only interested in the one in the current time. The part of the book that involved the past and what had happened in this house before, didn't intrigue me.
While I did enjoy the part of the book in the present I was hoping for more tense moments and stress. I sadly didn't get any of that and didn't feel much as I read the story, which meant that I wasn't racing towards the end to find out what had happened.
