Or is it the people who are left behind that are the ones being haunted? Let’s break out the Ouija board and get to the bottom of this!
Nicola and Anton are determined to savor their limited time together. Having been diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis as a child, Nicola had come to terms with one day leaving her husband behind. But months after their wedding they are in a terrible car accident and it is Anton’s life that is cut short. His last words to Nicola are “I’ll be waiting”. Only seven months later, Nicola is still (completely understandably I thought) struggling with her grief. She and her two friends find a respected professor of parapsychology to help them perform a series of séances at Anton’s old family home.
I’ve read most of Kelley Armstrong’s books over the years, with the Cainsville series being my favorites and the Women of the Otherworld series running a close second. This book is a solid stand alone addition to her many works. Though Nicola claims to be a skeptic, so many spooky events start happening around her that she begins to doubt herself. She sticks it out though, I would have noped right on home as soon as the slightly out of season bug swarm descended outside.
Let’s all just agree to leave the Ouija boards alone though. No good can come of them.
