The writing in this book is what really sold it for me. I think it's a general rule that gothics need to be moody and poetic and Erica Waters really delivers. This book also eloquently deals with grief and family, which was really necessary to tell a story like this. Finally, I'm just a sucker for some cool ghost mechanics. I love the ways authors interpret ghosts, and Shady Grove's fiddle was a great fresh take, recommend to all ghost literature enthusiasts.
