A review by mbenzz
Sparrow Hill Road by Seanan McGuire
4.0
I love Seanan McGuire's books. Every one I've ever read has been amazing. The Wayward Children Series is my all-time favorite book series. I had seen this book before, but I wasn't sure it was up my alley. I was so very wrong.
If you love ghost stories, this is the book for you! Rose Marshall, aka, The Phantom Prom Date, The Girl in the Green Dress, and many more, is a bad-ass 1952 ghost that you can't help but fall in love with.
I will say, I thought the ending with the car was a little hokey, and I didn't love it, but I won't hold that against the rest of the book.
MAKE SURE you read the Introduction, though!! I noticed a few reviewers here didn't understand the choppy nature of the story, how it seems like it's a bunch of short stories that are loosely connected. Well, if they had READ the Introduction, then they would have understood why that is.
Anyway, I loved the book and highly recommend it. I've already downloaded Book 2, The Girl in the Green Silk Gown, and plan to start it this evening. I'm so glad there's more Rose Marshall!
