Skeletons in the Closet

I really enjoyed Skeletons in the Closet as a whole -- it balances the human, mundane world with the ghostly, supernatural one in a way that feels natural and engaging. Marco’s interactions with Hudson, Lucien, Clive, and especially Birdie are delightful -- the ghosts have distinct personalities, quirks, and humor that make their presence feel tangible and lively.

The everyday moments -- parenting Juniper, dealing with work, connecting with Lexi -- are written so well that they ground the story emotionally. These scenes make the stakes in the supernatural moments feel more personal and real, and the humor and warmth throughout are definite highlights.

That said, I would love to see more of the ghostly realm itself explored -- Hudson’s fascination with the kitchen sink and other oddities, Birdie’s abilities, or even a glimpse into the broader spiritual plane could add another layer of intrigue and action. The supernatural side has so much potential for adventure, mystery, and deeper worldbuilding, and I’m eager to see more of how it interacts with the human world.

The alternating timeline adds depth and contrast -- showing Marco’s growth and his evolving connection with the ghosts -- though at times the shifts can feel abrupt. A few clearer transitions or subtle cues could make the timeline flow more smoothly without losing its reflective tone.

Overall, the story is engaging, well-paced, and full of charm -- Marco’s world feels alive with both human and ghostly dynamics, and the ghosts themselves are a highlight I wish there was even more of.
