Can't Wait Wednesday - September 30th






This meme is hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings.



Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted here to spotlight and talk about the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they're books that have yet to be released as well. It's based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the fabulous Jill at Breaking the Spine. Find out more here.


This looks so good.  I've been wanting to read this author for a long time. I saw the movie based on her The Housemaid book and loved it. I know I'll love her other books.








Synopsis from Goodreads:

Some secrets don't die―they wait.

When Julia Barlow loses her job and her apartment, she has nowhere left to go but Pemberton, her family's sprawling seventeenth-century estate in rural Massachusetts. Officially, she's there to check in on her aging grandmother. Unofficially, she's hoping the old house will give her a place to disappear.

Instead, Pemberton begins to unravel her.

Every night, the grandfather clock stops at exactly 3:41 a.m. The lights flicker without warning. And a disembodied voice cries for help outside Julia's bedroom door.

As Julia digs into the house's dark history, she uncovers the story of a woman executed for witchcraft in 1692―and realizes the past may not be finished with Pemberton yet. When decades of family lies begin to surface, Julia must confront a terrifying truth: Pemberton may be haunted by women whose voices refuse to stay silent.

Publisher:  Poisoned Pen Press
Release Date: October 6, 2026

    That sounds good! I like a lot of McFadden’s novels. I have so many books in my TBR pile that I haven’t thought about wanting a new one. But I still keep getting them 😂

    This sounds like a gripping page-turner - though if I were reading it, I'd probably need to keep the lights on for the rest of the night!

    Same, sjhigbee. I want to read it, but I'm going to keep it to the daytime until I get a feel for it :)
