Ghost Wood Song by Erica Waters

Ahh! I’m in the middle of reading Ghost Wood Song by Erica Waters right now. I’m actually in the middle of reading three books and always pick up the book I FEEL like reading at the moment. Do you do that? However, I’m loving this YA book and find the premise and characters sooooo intriguing.  

It was released in July 2020. If you haven't added it to your Goodreads list, you should!
Update of my review after I finished reading: ​Fabulous book! It took me a little longer to read, but that’s only because I was reading many books at once. As soon as I started reading the last 30%, I couldn’t put it down and HAD to know who killed Jim. I didn’t guess who the killer was (which I won’t tell you) until close to the end. I loved the beautiful imagery in the book! I wish we got to see a little more of Cedar and Shady, but I’m still glad of how the relationships all came together in the end. Loved it!

Summary of the book (from Goodreads)

Sawkill Girls meets Beautiful Creatures in this lush and eerie debut, where the boundary between reality and nightmares is as thin as the veil between the living and the dead. 
​

If I could have a fiddle made of Daddy’s bones, I’d play it. I’d learn all the secrets he kept.

Shady Grove inherited her father’s ability to call ghosts from the grave with his fiddle, but she also knows the fiddle’s tunes bring nothing but trouble and darkness.

But when her brother is accused of murder, she can’t let the dead keep their secrets.

In order to clear his name, she’s going to have to make those ghosts sing.

Family secrets, a gorgeously resonant LGBTQ love triangle, and just the right amount of creepiness make this young adult debut a haunting and hopeful story about facing everything that haunts us in the dark.
Share this blog post with your reader friends, and let me know what you think of this book! Happy reading.
