Sawkill Girls meets The Hazel Wood in this lush and eerie debut, where the boundary between reality and nightmares is as thin as the veil between the living and the dead.
If I could have a fiddle made of Daddy's bones, I'd play it. I'd learn all the secrets he kept.
Shady Grove inherited her father's ability to call ghosts from the grave with his fiddle, but she also knows the fiddle's tunes bring nothing but trouble and darkness.
But when her brother is accused of murder, she can't let the dead keep their secrets.
In order to clear his name, she's going to have to make those ghosts sing.
Family secrets, a gorgeously resonant LGBTQ love triangle, and just the right amount of creepiness make this young adult debut a haunting and hopeful story about facing everything that haunts us in the dark.
But as Shady digs into her family's cursed history, she must ask herself: is clearing her brother's name worth paying the fiddle's terrible price?
- LGBTQ Romance: A slow-burn, angsty romance blossoms between Shady and her best friend Sarah, even as dark secrets threaten to tear them apart.
- A Haunted Family Legacy: Shady's father left her more than just his magical fiddle; he left a history of darkness she must unravel to understand the truth.
- Atmospheric Southern Gothic: Lush and eerie, the story is steeped in the humidity and haunted woods of rural Florida, where the veil between the living and the dead is dangerously thin.
- A High-Stakes Murder Mystery: With her brother's freedom on the line, Shady must bargain with vengeful ghosts and risk her own soul to solve a murder that's tearing her family apart.
