Ghost Wood Song
by Erica Waters
This isn't what I thought it would be. I was expecting a ghost filled horror novel.
Instead it's a book about family secrets and, grief with a side of haunting.
Shady, and her siblings (Jesse and Honey) live with her mom and stepdad Jim in a trailer.
Shady and Jesse are teens. The father they shared passed away. Jim is Honey's dad.
Set in the South, this is very well written and descriptive. Shady is bi. There is somewhat of a love triangle between her, her friend Sarah (who she'd like to be more than friends with) and cowboy Cedar. Quite honestly, there would be no triangle. Sarah doesn't seem like a great person for most of the book while Cedar is written as almost too good to be true.
But I'll make allowances since they're just teens.
Shady has been haunted by two beings for years. When her brother is arrested for Jims murder. She has to find her dads fiddle (that brings out ghosts) and figure out who really did it.
3.5 stars for the lyrical imagery and mystery.
