Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for this eARC in exchange for my honest review.

I’ve read The Wife Upstairs and Reckless Girls by Rachel Hawkins and The Villa definitely puts a new twist on her writing style. I enjoyed the two POV and dual timelines. Emily and Mari are two women visiting the same villa in Italy 50 years apart. This is a gothic story uniquely written with drugs, sex, and rock n roll vibes. The beginning of the book started a little off for me as if the author wasn’t sure how to set the initial foundation of the book but it quickly sped up and I couldn’t put it down.
