Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings, to spotlight the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read.

Laney Kilpatrick has been renting her vacation home to strangers. The invasion of privacy gives her panic attacks, but it’s the only way she can keep her beloved Hemlock Island, the only thing she owns after a pandemic-fueled divorce. But broken belongings and campfires that nearly burn down the house have escalated to bloody bones, hex circles, and now, terrified renters who’ve fled after finding blood and nail marks all over the guest room closet, as though someone tried to claw their way out…and failed.
When Laney shows up to investigate with her teenaged niece in tow, she discovers that her ex, Kit, has also been informed and is there with Jayla, his sister and her former best friend. Then Sadie, another old high school friend, charters over with her brother, who’s now a cop.
There are tensions and secrets, whispers in the woods, and before long, the discovery of a hand poking up from the earth. Then the body that goes with it… But by that time, someone has taken off with their one and only means off the island, and they’re trapped with someone—or something—that doesn’t want them leaving the island alive.
I haven’t read a Kelley Armstrong book in forever but I used to be a really big fan of her, I just lost track of her writing in the last couple of years. Last week I saw the cover reveal of this upcoming read of hers and it’s her first full-length horror novel so now I’m really excited about this book.
Are you also looking forward to this book?
Leave links to your Can’t-Wait Wednesday post so I can stop by!
Ooh cool! I didn’t know about this. I just added it to my TBR. I haven’t read Kelley Armstrong in a long time either, but I’m definitely reading this one😁
Oh my goodness, I love the cover and the blurb! This is going on the list! I need to read it~
I have Kelley Armstrong on my list of authors I need to try soon. I hope you enjoy this one, Stephanie.
Horror is not my typical go-to genre, but this one sounds amazing! Hope you enjoy it 🙂
Oooh this sounds creepy! My kind of read. I hope you get to read it soon.
My WoW post.
So creepy!!
I fell in love with that cover before I knew who the author was and now I want to read it even more! It’s been ages since I read anything by Kelley Armstrong. This sounds good! I hope you enjoy it when you read it!
Nice to meet a new book by an author once read and loved. I’ll leave the horror to you though!
I am impressed how many diffeent genres she’s written in over her career!
This sounds like a good one for my fall TBR. Thanks for sharing this one. I hope that we both love it! 🙂
