This was a very fast read and nicely creepy with the goings on of Nic’s last try of a séance to contact her husband Anton after his last words (alluding to something that needs to be uncovered) before dying in the car accident which brought back a dark event in both their lives. Fast forward to the last try (after all the fake seances) in what used to be Anton's family's house. Personally, I think I would have been out of there, the moment the midges arrived. Accidents. a missing person, and someone trying to bring up the dark past that Nic had avoided for years, even to the changing of her name and moving away. The beginning was nicely creepy and it built up well, with the voices, "accidents", and slow unraveling of what happened all those years ago. The ending went a little wonky weird though, I guess a bit too jarring from the slow spooky build up straight to bodies, chopping, and one very nasty stabbing with garden shears. I did like the little bits with Nic and Anton though, they really did love each other in a sweet way, despite what happened in high school.
So, to sum it up, lots of history and shared pasts revealed and someone with a plan to make sure Nic ends up joining her husband sooner rather than later. Also gross bugs. Good story and nice for the Halloween season.
