“Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme that was originally created by Breaking the Spine. Unfortunately Breaking the Spine are no longer hosting so I’m now linking my posts up to Wishful Endings Can’t Wait Wednesday. Don’t forget to stop over, link up and check out what books everyone else is waiting for. If you want to take part, basically, every Wednesday, we highlight a book that we’re really looking forward to. This week my book is: A Box Full of Darkness by Simone St James. Take a look at the cover and description below:
Siblings return to the house they fled eighteen years before, called back by the ghost of their long-missing brother and his haunting request to come home.
Strange things happen in Fell, New York: A mysterious drowning at the town’s roadside motel. The unexplained death of a young girl whose body is left by the railroad tracks. For Violet, Vail, and Dodie Esmie the final straw was their little brother’s shocking disappearance, which started as a normal game of hide-and-seek.
As their parents grew increasingly distant, the sisters were each haunted by visions and frightening events, leading them to leave town and never look back. Violet still sees dead people—spirits who remind her of Sister, the menacing presence that terrorized her for years. Now after nearly two decades it’s time for a homecoming—because Ben is back, and he’s ready to lead them to the answers they’ve longed for and long feared.
Expected publication: January 2026

I love St James, and I wish the release date were a little closer😁

Added to my TBR!
Ahh, the long suffering TBR. Hope you get a chance to pick it up – I really liked her last book.
Lynn 😀
This sounds great and a little bit creepy 😂
It really does sound creepy – her last book was also very good so I have high hopes.
Lynn 😀
Oh my anything by this author is a must read!
I do need to go back and read her earlier books.
Lynn 😀
I’m really enjoying ‘The Book of Cold Cases’ at the moment.
Ooh, can’t wait to read your thoughts on that one.
