As Halloween approaches South Cove, California, four couples get into the spirit of the holiday by conjuring up spirits. . .
The house has sat empty for fifteen years, taking up prime real estate along the picturesque coastline. Built by one of the founders of South Cove, its last known owner, Maryanne Demerit, vanished without a trace. Now her home will be demolished for a condo development, but until then, it’s the perfect spot for a Halloween haunted house.
Jill Gardner, owner of Coffee, Books, and More, her boyfriend, and three other couples are spending the weekend in the Demerit home. But what begins as an all-in-good-fun fright fest turns into a mystery begging to be solved as Jill is contacted by the ghost of Maryanne . . .
A fun novella filling in some background between main stories and letting us know more about one of the minor characters in South Cove, namely Jill's neighbour Esmerelda (who is the dispatcher at the South Cove police and has a side hustle as a psychic!), with 8 people deciding to do a pre-Halloween bit of fun (namely being locked in a house that is supposedly haunted and is due to be demolished to make way for upscale housing), it starts off as fun, but after and interesting Ouija Board session things get a lot more lively! Leading the way to closing a cold case off and giving one of the 8 people some fascinating news!
