Thanks to theNOVL and Little, Brown for the ARC! I just finished Iโll Be Waiting for You by Mariko Turk, and itโs a 5-star read that I devoured in a single day.
๐ Plot Overview:
Natalie and Imogen are best friends obsessed with the supernatural, exceptโฆ Imogen actually believes in it, while Natalie just loves the thrill. After Imogen dies during their stay at a haunted resort, Natalie returns the next summer and starts experiencing strange, possibly supernatural occurrences. To make things even more interesting, thereโs a new, very annoying guy at school who might actually grow on her. ๐
๐ฒ The Setting: Estes Park, Colorado
I was immediately hooked by the settingโEstes Park! I used to visit as a kid, so the nostalgia really pulled me in.
๐ Perfect for Spooky Season
What I didnโt expect was how quickly the story grabs you. The first chapter ends with a major twist, and I was hooked. The cover, with its pink hues and hummingbirds, screams rom-com, but this book is far more than that. Thereโs romance, sure, but itโs also subtly spooky and emotionally charged.
The supernatural vibe is perfect for Octoberโghosts, hauntings, and a slow, eerie atmosphere. Itโs not horror, but itโs just spooky enough to get you in your feels.
๐ป Grief Like a Ghost
One of my favorite elements was how the book tackled grief. The idea that weโre haunted not by ghosts, but by memories and feelings that linger. It frames this โhauntingโ as a way to honor the person whoโs gone, allowing them to stay with us in a meaningful, even positive way. This really hit home for me and made the book so much more than just a spooky story.
Overall, I'll Be Waiting for You was an absolute emotional rollercoaster. If you love books that mix the supernatural with deeper themes like grief, add this one to your TBRโespecially in October! ๐โจ
Question for You:
Do you believe in ghosts? Or do you think grief can โhauntโ us in a more emotional way? Let me know in the comments! ๐ป๐ฌ
