A review by olivialoverderheinheimer
The Villa by Rachel Hawkins

dark mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

The past timeline following Mara was more engaging the the current timeline following Emily. All of the mystery really lied in that story but I do wish the book ended differently. I mostly felt bad for Emily it was so obvious Chess was just the worst friend and she didn’t really see it.
