THIS BOOK SLAPS. This is a book about a very very cursed/ haunted island in the Philippines. The island is discovered by Hollywood execs and they come to the island to make a series ghost hunting and more. They also find Alon, the only local who is not scared of the island, and is even paid by the government as a protector. 

The viewpoint of the book is Alon who is so used to the island and is not phased by anything that happens throughout the book. The Hollywood execs are idiots and do everything you would expect while Alon just tries to keep them alive the best he can. 

Spoilers for the romance:
Alon also has a very sweet budding romance with Chase, one of the producers sons, this does not go all the way and they don't really go through with anything. But they are adorable and Alon protects him through the book
