Evening!

A spooky scary welcome to a new Waiting on Wednesday! Today I am eagerly waiting for The Keeper of the Key by Nicole Wilson~

This time I got a spooky Young Adult book full of ghosts, a spooky manor, strange house rules (and I am getting big Blue Beard/nope vibes from the don’t go to the basement one), and I am just dying to read this one! It is releasing in November (the 12th to be exact), so a bit outside of the spooky season which is a shame, thankfully, my spooky season never stops, haha. I read horror year round, just one month of the year it is an overkill amount. But I love love a good haunted house with ghosts and visions and I am very much curious if Rachel will be able to survive/turn things around or if things will go very bad!

Oh, and hoping that the adults will act normal. I am always a bit tired of sceptical parents in horror.

There are a thousand things sixteen-year-old Rachel would rather do than upend her life to move into Morgan House, an old, run-down mansion owned by her mom’s boyfriend, Geoff.

But when her mother announces they’re relocating to St. Mary, Virginia to live with him, Rachel’s cut off from her friends and life as she knows it. St. Mary is a remote, lonely place, and the best thing about it is Nick, a guy she knows is worth keeping when he takes her to a cemetery on their first date.

Rachel struggles to get along with Geoff and his mile-long list of annoying house rules—in particular, his bizarre insistence that she stay out of the basement. But something in Morgan House plays by its own rules. At night, an unknown force pulls Rachel down to that forbidden cellar, showing her harrowing visions of a strangely familiar man lurking in the shadows. When a sudden tragedy strikes her family, those visions become more frequent—and more violent.

The dead issue urgent warnings, and if Rachel doesn’t heed them, she’ll become part of Morgan House forever.

From the author of the Bram Stoker Award-nominated Tidepool comes a chilling new gothic horror novel that will sink into your bones.
