From NYT bestselling author Victoria Schwab comes a thrillingly
spooky and action-packed tale of hauntings, history, mystery,
and the bond between friends
Ever since Cass almost drowned (okay, she did drown, but she doesn't
like to think about it), she can pull back the Veil that separates
the living from the dead . . . and enter the world of spirits.
Her best friend is even a ghost.
So things are already pretty strange. But they're about to get
much stranger.
When Cass's parents start hosting a TV show about the world's
most haunted places, the family heads off to Edinburgh, Scotland.
Here, graveyards, castles, and secret passageways teem with restless
phantoms. And when Cass meets a girl who shares her "gift,"
she realizes how much she still has to learn about the Veil -- and
herself.
And she'll have to learn fast. The city of ghosts is more dangerous
than she ever imagined.

A spooky, page turning story with ghosts, friendship and history!
First of, middle grade is not my usual age category of reading and you may see that reflected in my review unintentionally.
This was a very good book. Very atmospheric, interesting, and characters that I actually cared about. Then why the three stars? I found the red raven too much of a generic evil character. Victoria Schwab is a phenomonal author and I believe that she could have written a more intersting evil character than the one which has intentions that are overused in so many stories.
I'm not sure if she stayed true to certain legends / myths, but if that is the reason than she made a good choice. However, I still believe that it was a bit too generic. (Or I read the wrong stories when I was growing up)
