OLDER FICTION
Berk, Ari

Mistle Child

(4) YA Undertaken Trilogy series. Silas Umber returns to his ancestral estate of Arvale, home to many of his predecessors' ghosts as well as, surprisingly, the tortured, vengeful ghost of a long-ago banished Umber daughter. Despite crisp writing and atmospheric eeriness, the occasional intrusion of modernity jars with an old-fashioned sensibility, and the book gets mired in its own mythology. Best for genre fans.
