Sparrow Hill Road by Seanan McGuire
4.0
Sparrow Hill Road reminded me of Seanan McGuire's October Daye novels in the sense that McGuire has created a universe by bringing together different mythologies (mostly American but some West European and East Asian). It's very imaginative, though I admittedly haven't read much fiction involving ghosts and related phenomena.
The story's divided into four books, or parts, which makes it feel a little disjointed at times. I enjoyed getting to know Rose Marshall and the characters she encounters. Rose has abilities as a "hitcher," but she ranks relatively low on the hierarchy of supernatural entities. So even though she's dead, I still felt uncertainty and tension over what might happen. Overall, this was an excellent, entertaining read.
