Book review "The Spirits of Six Minstrel Run" by Matthew S. Cox. Thank you to Blackthorn book tours and the author for the review copy! . Read the full review at: https://powerlibrarian.wordpress.com/ TLDR: I recommend this book to anyone looking for a refreshing take on an old subgenre--the ghost story--with a unique twist. Synopsis When Mia’s husband buys a beautiful old house at a bargain, she can’t help but wonder what’s wrong with it. She doesn’t have to wonder for long, because it quickly becomes obvious that the house is haunted. Her husband is delighted--he’s a university professor who’s looking for proof of the paranormal. Mia, on the other hand, discovers that she’s psychically sensitive to the spirits in this house. While one of them is a harmless little girl Mia would do anything to protect, there is something else that is much more sinister lurking the halls of Six Minstrel Run... . My Thoughts This novel fights a lot of tropes in the paranormal activity subgenre. First off, Adam, a professor at the university, bought this house because he knew it was haunted. He wanted to see if he could capture evidence of the existence of ghosts on camera. This automatically sets this novel apart from others like it--where there is that inevitable first third of the book where the protagonists are in denial that supernatural beings exist. Even Mia, the skeptic, believes that there is a ghost in this house within the first few chapters. . I was particularly invested in the strange yet beautiful relationship between Mia and the ghost girl. She wants to protect her, despite not truly knowing if she isn’t dangerous, and the relationship is quite tender and refreshing. It also adds to the horror element, as there’s nothing scarier than a child that might just be homicidal. The little girl ghost is adorable yet incredibly creepy, a beautiful dichotomy that I greatly appreciated. . . . . #amreading #Bookreview #Booklover #bibliophile #ghosts #fantasy #amreadingfantasy #matthewscox #paranormal #booknerdigans #bookstagram #canadianbookstagram #booksbooksbooks #horror #whattoread #read #readersofinstagram #goodreads #bookphotography

Tonight I will be editing my nanowrimo novel under the Christmas tree. It needs some work with adding character-driven scenes in between all the action, but I'm very pleased with how it turned out! . . . . . . #amwriting #amwritingfantasy #writersofinstagram #writer #author #workspace #writingnook #view #saskatoon #canada #booklover #christmas #christmastree #keepwriting #wip #writingupdate #update #goals #productivity #writewritewrite #writenow #nanowrimo
