I received this book from the publishers via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

When Hannah takes a trip to Ireland to help her grieve her boyfriend Ben, and figure out a way to get the pieces of her messed up life back together. When she arrives at The Guesthouse, she gets to know the other people in the B&B, and weird things begin to happen. Before too long, the guests are trapped in the house while a storm rages outside, and a serial killer stalks them inside.

This book was just....fine. There were certainly elements of the book that left me intrigued and really creeped out, and I liked when it seemed like it was going to be a haunted house storyline and I was disappointed this was not the case. I think this book would have been so much better if it had been a haunted house.

The characters in this felt a bit clunky, and just weird - I didn't really believe them as people. Hannah was just too much of a mess, Chloe was too naive and young and Rosa was too shrill. When you have a storyline that's following a group of people in one house, you need there to be a good dynamic between them all - whether it's hate or love - but I just didn't feel like this happened with The Guesthouse and I was honestly just confused as to why these people were willingly spending so much time together on their holidays (and how none of them had any real plans while on their holidays as well).

I did not like how child abuse and sexual abuse ended up being a plot twist in this book. It was just done in a way I feel could be a bit triggering for people as it really came out of nowhere, and I felt so surprised by it. The end of the book was very over the top and even in thrillers terms, it felt unbelievable and like none of the story could have really happened.
