The Midnight Hour by Eve Chase

I liked the premise of the book, so decided to try it. It was ok, but not one of my favourites. The characterisations weren’t believable, and Kit, the younger brother is downright annoying even as an adult. The mother, Dee, is not much better.

The story starts in 1998 when Maggie and Kit’s mum Dee disappears, and Maggie is left, at 17 left to look after her much younger brother. She then meets Wolf, a local boy who works for his Antique dealer uncle, and she falls head over heals in love with him. Maggie, Wolf and Kit end up living together in the mum’s house until something happens that threatens all of their safety.  Twenty years later Maggie hears from Wolf that the basement in their old house is being dug up, and this threatens to unearth secrets and things better left hidden.

This took longer to read then it should have, probably because a couple of the characters were so annoying.
