Brief Description:
From New York Times Bestselling author Kelley Armstrong comes a
spellbinding new tale of supernatural horror involving a haunted-house,
seances, lost loved ones, and a sinister spirit out for blood… Nicola
Laughton never expected to see adulthood, being diagnosed with Cystic
Fibrosis as a child. Then medical advances let her live into her thirties
and she met Anton, who taught her to dream of a future… together. Months
after they married, Anton died in a horrible car crash, but lived long
enough to utter five words to her, “I’ll be waiting for you.” That final
private moment became public when someone from the crash scene took it to
the press—the terminally ill woman holding her dying husband as he promised
to wait for her on the other side. Worse, that person claimed it wasn’t
Anton who said the words but his ghost, hovering over his body. Since their
story went public, Nicola has been hounded by spiritualists promising
closure. In the hopes of stopping her downward spiral, friends and family
find a reputable medium—a professor of parapsychology. For the séance, they
rent the Lake Erie beach house that Anton’s family once owned. The medium
barely has time to begin his work before things start happening. Locked
doors mysteriously open. Clouds of insects engulf the house. Nicola hears
footsteps and voices and the creak of an old dumbwaiter…in an empty
shaft. Throughout it all she’s haunted by nightmares of her past. Because,
unbeknownst to the others, this isn’t her first time contacting the dead.
And Nicola isn’t her real name. That’s when she finds the first body…. In
this atmospheric, thrilling new ghost story, Kelley Armstrong’s full
talents are on display to thrill, chill and leave the reader guessing how
Nicola escapes with her life–if she can.
