Ghost Wood Song
by Erica Waters
Overall, an enjoyable read. Ghost Wood Song is a good book to read on Halloween season, since there are ghosts, family secrets, mysteries, murder, and a kinda dark tone to it.
I like how music was used here. I usually hate stories with bands, singers and stuff, but the way the Shady, the main character, talks about music is so passionate that I finished the book wanting to listen to bluegrass. Btw, bluegrass is a traditional genre from the appalachian montains, and all the songs Shady mentioned are kinda sad or tragic, which made the story have some poetic moments, and I loved it.
The plot itself is easy to follow: there is a murder and Shady needs to prove her brother is not the culprid (even though she's not sure about that). I was happy that especific character was murdered, because he was a piece of shit. There are a lot of family secrets being revealed, and I found easy to guess who was the murderer (but I'm already used to that, so it's not a problem).
The only thing I didn't like is the love triangle. Shady is bisexual (love it! ♥) and in love with a girl who gives zero fucks about her, and it annoyed me as hell. Later, she starts falling for a guy who is amazing, but she doesn't know if she wants to be with the stupid girl or the nice boy. Thank GOD she chose right by the end.
