Ghost Wood Song by Erica Waters
4.5
challenging dark emotional hopeful mysterious sad tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

If it wasn’t for the love triangle I’d give this book all the stars, so instead I give it 4.5 ⭐️

Aside from that, I really liked the book. Loss and forgiveness are the main themes of the novel and the story reflects how everything isn’t always black and white. Shady is the main character, she’s disaster bisexual who’s crushing on two people at the same time. As if that wasn’t enough drama she also has to figure out a mystery to save her brother. A mystery that involves ghosts and family secrets. Ones that unravel everything she thought she knew about her parents and brother. 

Shady’s investigation helps her learn to see beyond the surface and understand that there’s more than one aspect or reason to any situation. By the end she’s able to forgive and find closure❤️‍🩹
