Review: Four Tombstones

Four Tombstones by Jennifer L. Hotes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This YA-focused suspenseful novel is spooky, heartwarming, and compelling, and I totally enjoyed it. Josie and her much-younger brother Owen lost their mother six years ago, and to keep memories alive, Josie sets up a tombstone-rubbing evening on Halloween. Her mother doesn't appear, but each of the four friends is inexplicably drawn to a grave, and each becomes involved in the past of that person. Josie finds herself in a spooky older cemetery known as "Ghost Forest," at the grave of a woman stoned for witchcraft--in the 19th century!


The author masterfully blends paranormal elements, grief, and adolescent angst and coming-of-age into a riveting story.
