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!
4.25/5 stars. I wish we could give at least 1/2 stars in our ratings! I thoroughly enjoyed this middle grade novel which had everything Victoria Schwab excels at: tons of heart and action involving memorable and unique characters in an exciting plot. The premise of Cassidy interacting with ghosts and being able to cross the veil was so interesting, and I feel like her comp titles of Stranger Things meets Ghostbusters perfectly captures this story. Can't wait for the next installment!
