Diavola
by Jennifer Marie Thorne
You think family vacations are bad? What if the place you're staying at is haunted by an evil spirit who wants to possess your body and stir up family drama? Anna Pace prefers to be alone yet she has to constantly go to her family's annual family destination vacation. She hates it but she can't get out of it, and it doesn't help when she's considered the family black sheep. The vacation consists of her family: her twin brother Benny and his boyfriend, her older sister Nicole with her two daughters and husband, and her parents. Benny clings to Anna while Nicole can't help but pick at her while her while her mother seizes every opportunity to question her life choices and her dad wants to be left alone. Together, stuck in a beautiful remote villa in Monteperso... the family drama will unfold, and it doesn't help that the villa has something going on with it, from strange noises at night, villagers being afraid of it, and the dark and violent history of the villa itself. Anna knows something is going on and her dreams are being filled with disturbing images... but can she escape both her family and the ghost haunting the villa before it's too late? This book is an ode to anyone who has been trapped in a uncomfortable family vacation. The horror was interesting and the overall ending was good, but like Anna, I kind of was hoping for a bit more with this book. It's not a bad read it just wasn't blowing my mind. I liked the overall haunting and the terrible family tension, and I think it's a fun vacation read for people.
