Thank you #netgalley and #poisonedpenpress for this gifted ARC in exchange for an honest review!

I really enjoyed this one! It's the perfect book to start off the spooky season. I really urge you to pick this up if you’re into ghosts and mediums.

This is the story of Kit, an actress and widow who struggles to make ends meet after her husband was tragically killed in the 9/11 attack.

To be able to pay her daughter’s hospital bills, she resorts to her acting skills to pretend to contact the dead and bring some peace to the people who have lost their loved ones. Until one night the hoax becomes reality and she no longer seems to be alone in her apartment.

The atmosphere was superb and the mystery surrounding Kit’s new love interest was very intriguing.

I had a couple of issues with the writing which was a little confusing at times, especially at the beginning of the book. I also felt that the end was a little rushed leaving us with some loose ends that could have been further explored.

But I loved the idea of this book, being a sucker for anything involving mediums and the paranormal… and the scary moments during the night, when Kit would suddenly wake up, were priceless.

4 stars from me!
