The Haunting of Room 904 by Erika T. Wurth
4.0
dark informative mysterious sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

 
I don’t normally read/like paranormal or supernatural novels, but Wurth brilliantly used the genre to tell the story of past injustices to native Americans – specifically the Sand Creek Massacre – and to discuss serious topics such as racial bias affecting all of us in current times.  It was easy to believe that Olivia was truly seeing and hearing everyone that helped her to understand her sister’s death.
