Curses, Ghosts, and Sun-Kissed Stones: Unraveling "Clarissa's Warning"

The sunlit shores of the Canary Islands have long been associated with vacations, sandy beaches, and tranquility. But what if there was a darker shade to paradise? "Clarissa's Warning" takes readers on a gripping journey where picturesque vistas serve as a facade to mysterious occurrences.

The Windfall and the Dream

A sudden stroke of luck transforms Claire Bennett's life overnight. Winning the lottery is something many dream of, but Claire's dream was specific: an age-old stone ruin in the Canary Islands. The allure of island living, combined with the charm of the village, seemed too good to be true. Her aunt Clarissa's forebodings should have been a clear sign, but sometimes, passion blinds reason.

The Enigma of Casa Baraso

The ancient stone ruin isn’t just an abandoned structure; it has a legacy, a story, a curse. Despite its picturesque setting, Casa Baraso holds a malevolent presence that's deeply rooted in the village's folklore. From rocks that defy the laws of physics to local workers' unease, the house appears to be trapped in a temporal loop of paranormal activities.

Ghostly Whispers of the Past

The shadow of Olivia Stone, a Victorian-era writer, looms large over the house. As Claire delves deeper into the history of her new abode, the tales of the past intermingle with the present. Paco, with his knowledge of local lore and photography skills, becomes Claire's guiding light, but some secrets, some ghosts, are adamant about staying hidden.

A Struggle Against the Supernatural

Desperate to reclaim her sanctuary, Claire battles not only with the challenges of renovation but also with spectral entities that seem bent on claiming Casa Baraso as their own. Each page turn, each revelation, only deepens the enigma. Will Claire's resolve be strong enough to break the curse? Or will she too become a part of the haunted tapestry of Casa Baraso?
