When Alberta “Bert” Monte gets a strange letter addressed to Countess Alberta Montebianco, she finds that her family roots hide dark secrets. She finds that a relative she has never knew has died, leaving her a castle and a lot of money. Her life in New York City has been rough. Her and her husband’s relationship has been rocky. Maybe the invite to Italy will open some new doors for her.

But things quickly go awry when she gets to Italy. She’s flown out to the castle and quickly finds secrets waiting beyond each corner.

This book was not what I expected it to be, and I’m not mad about it. It’s a ride that hooks you from start to finish. I can guarantee you will not guess what direction this book will take.

Overall, I found the writing to be beautiful and compelling. I finished this book within four days because I didn’t want to put it down. I enjoyed unveiling family secrets with our main character. The snowy castle setting was perfect for this time of the year.

Phew this book was intense. I absolutely ate it up.

We start the book off finding out that 3 missing people turn up dead in the Kentucky wilderness. 1 person is still missing.
The book dives into a few theories on what may have happened in the wilderness, then we travel back to the POV of the group of 4 as they venture into the unknown.

Let me tell you there are some CREEPY scenes in this book. It gave off BLAIR WITCH meets THE RUINS vibes. I loved the survival horror elements just as much as the supernatural elements.

Have you read this one? If not, you should definitely add it to your tbr if you're looking for a fast-paced survival horror that is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat.

Ps: When I looked at this cover, all I could think of was that old school tv show that had the cliffhanger segment. You know what l'm saying? "CLIFF HANGER, HANGING FROM A CLIFF."

4.5 stars.

It’s a bit daunting reviewing this book. I know this is on a lot of people’s highly anticipated releases for 2024.

For me, this book was a delight. I love that we returned to Jade’s perspective instead of bouncing around in everyone’s head like Don’t Fear The Reaper.

We also return to Jade’s slasher roots. Movie after movie is referenced by the slasher queen, and it made me happy to be able to pick up on the references—especially movies I watched recently.

I really loved how everything came full circle in this book. Everything tied together so well. This book was full of heartbreaking scenes and had me emotional at times. I feel like I know Jade, and I’ve loved watching her grow and mature with each book.

So if you’re looking for an epic conclusion that holds no monsters back, check out The Angel Of Indian Lake. It’s action packed and sure to keep you glued to the pages.
