Ghost Wood Song by Erica Waters
4.0

I love reading a spooky ghost book with a cool magic system in place! In this case it’s ghosts via magic haunted musical instrument which is a really unique choice - I don’t think I’ve read anything similar before. I didn’t care much about the romantic relationships involved in this one but I loved loved LOVED the sibling relationships and the other familial ones. I also adored the atmospheric descriptions especially when Shady was running around chasing her ghosts.

And of course loved that there was queer representation both in a main and side character!

Overall I’d recommend this one to anyone who loves ghost stories and hauntings, as well as fans of unique settings for stories and fans of a bit of murder mystery - I did guess whodunnit by the end but there was a good chunk of time when I wasn’t sure haha. In general it had a very cool vibe and I can’t wait to see what the author writes next! So far both of their books that I’ve read have been atmospheric with intriguing magic styles, as well as creepy! You can’t beat a creepy atmosphere and ghosts haha!
