Haunting Charlie by Wendy Wang
4.0

So many thoughts. I’ll start with I liked the concept, the extreme emotions. I liked the tight knit family. Some undeveloped talents and unanswered questions there.

The “reader beware” moments. Lots of trigger warnings to sensitive readers.

The downside - ghosts can’t hurt you, except when they can. We’ve seen that the main ghost can manipulate a living person to do his evil, which flies a whole lot better than the ghosts manifesting physical harm on their own. Despite this inconsistency, I felt the book was well done.

At the end if the day, I would recommend this.
