Yet, what surprised me most were the repeated Harry Potter references, which I didn't think added very much for the target audience. I felt like that was nostalgia aimed at older readers, which was unnecessary.
In any case, the Cassidy Blake trilogy, made me think of Schwab's Vicious duology (written for adults) in that the main characters all had experiences with death, giving rise to their special powers and yet, their premises are so far removed from each other. Bridge of Souls understandably was nowhere near as complex as Vicious but I still found myself invested in the lives of Cassidy, Jacob and Lara.
