I'll Be Waiting, A Novel By Kelley Armstrong

From New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong comes a chilling tale of supernatural horror in Haunted. The story follows Nicola Laughton, who never expected to see adulthood after being diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis as a child. Against the odds, she reaches her thirties and finds love with Anton, who inspires her to dream of a bright future. Tragically, months after their marriage, Anton dies in a horrific car crash, uttering five haunting words: “I’ll be waiting for you.”

This intimate moment turns public when a witness claims that Anton's ghost, not his dying self, spoke those words. Since then, Nicola has been plagued by spiritualists seeking to exploit her grief. To help her find closure, her loved ones hire a reputable medium—a parapsychology professor—for a séance at the Lake Erie beach house once owned by Anton’s family.

As the séance begins, strange occurrences unfold: locked doors fly open, swarms of insects invade, and ominous sounds echo from an empty dumbwaiter shaft. Amidst these supernatural events, Nicola grapples with her haunting past, revealing that her name isn’t what it seems, and this isn’t her first encounter with the dead. When she discovers the first body, the stakes rise dramatically.

In this atmospheric and gripping ghost story, Kelley Armstrong masterfully weaves suspense and emotion, keeping readers on the edge of their seats as Nicola fights for her life against a sinister spirit determined to claim her. 📚❤️
