I'll Be Waiting by Kelley Armstrong

adventurous emotional hopeful mysterious tense medium-paced

4.0

The emotional opening chapter of this book had me immediately invested in this story. The atmosphere was just right - it was psychological and eerie.

Anton’s tragic passing and his ghost saying the last words to Nicola is what compelled me to continue this book. Being diagnosed with cystic fibrosis from a young age, she always believed she’d be the first to pass in their relationship. Now jumping from séance to séance in hopes of contacting Anton on the other side. 

Nic was an unreliable narrator at best, the flashback scenes to her younger days added another mystery layer to uncover. I enjoyed all the debunking of paranormal events as they begin to happen. I did not see the final sequence of events coming and that made the book very rewarding, almost like a movie. 

I loved Jennifer Pickens’ moody audiobook narration, it built up the ambience of the novel, adding that extra ominous feeling to the experience. 

Thanks to Macmillan Audio for the audiobook to review.
