The Woman in the Castello by Kelsey James

3.0

This was an entertaining book, but I have to admit it took me A WHILE to get into it. I was still wondering if I should finish it by the time I hit the 50% mark. But after that it really picked up and made the book worth it.

This is about Silvia, who is an aspiring actress and moves her daughter and mother to Italy in a last ditch effort at success. She gets cast in a horror movie which is to be filmed at her aunt’s castle, and has some creepy/gothic vibes.

I’ll admit I didn’t see the twist coming, but I feel like the premise had so much potential, yet the writing left me desiring for more ambiance, more feeling, more motives, just more.
