Just like in the first book, I loved the mystery. I was pretty sure I knew the answer to the mystery, but there were so many additional pieces of it that I never guessed! I do not like the role-playing part of the book. I don't care about characteristics and attributes of pretend characters of a pretend role-playing game. That part of the book just drags for me. Although I enjoyed the first book and this book, I think I'm done with the series just because of the role-playing focus.
Also, I did not like the swearing that was peppered throughout the book. It was completely unnecessary for the audience that it's aimed at and it added nothing.

Ghost stories, stories within stories, adventure, role playing games, and mystery. For a YA book I was totally captivated. I also love the fact that all of the author's series seem to intermingle with each other. By reading out of order you end up with different facets of an extremely long story.
Read it.
Just read it.
You can thank me later.

Greenglass House was once of my favorite books of the past ten years so it makes me a little sad to say that Ghosts of Greenglass House just didn't have the same magic.
We've fast forwarded a year but it's Christmas break again, there's another mystery shrouded in the lore of Nagspeake and Christmas tradition, some people are back this year but we do get new characters (suspects). All of our favorite ghosts are back and the Greenglass House factors heavily into everything.
Everything was fine. I should have loved it. I think it was just too similar to the last book - they are almost interchangeable. If I had read this book first, I probably would've given this 5 stars.
I'm hoping that Ms. Milford tries to write a new book instead of writing the same book she's already written before again.

A re-gathering of friends and enemies. Heroes and loves in unexpected places. Christmas pagan myths come to life. Interracial adoption woven throughout.
It was not fully my thing but that makes sense since I read it as an audiobook and don't really like audiobooks, plus I'm an adult so this book wasn't really made for me. But I did enjoy parts of this book, I love a snowed in mystery style and the ghost concept was really interesting. It seems like I would have loved it if I was a kid, and learned healthy examples of emotional regulation and other themes that are really important!

Super intelligent kids solving mysteries is my favorite genre. This one didn’t fail. Captivating, surprising, and feel good.
