The Girl in the Green Silk Gown

Wrote a review for

What a world that was built here. Taking the legend of the Phantom Prom Date and giving her an afterlife beyond her inciting incident. There’s lots of rules, defined and undefined, but it fits well. Of course it’s unfortunate that the man who sent her to the afterlife is now one who harasses her. Damn that Bobby Cross.

Playing around with different forms and beliefs in death and the supernatural all fits together. The final death I saw in the book I knew was coming, but I didn’t expect the actual circumstances behind it. Thankfully Rose gets what she desires here, but the rest of the ending did feel a little unfinished. I wanted to know what happened as Rose finally returned to The Last Dance, what will she tell Apple? What happens with her and Gary from here? What will be done with the Barrowmans, and who betrayed their kind and tattled to Bobby Cross in the first place?

I realize this was the second in the series but I’ll definitely be on the lookout to grab the others as it was still good.
