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!
Initial thoughts:City of Ghosts was everything I hoped for and more! It's such a lovely middle grade book with just the right amount of morbidity to set it apart as a Schwab book but also charm that takes off the edge from the potentially scarier parts. The friendship between Cassidy and Jacob is wonderfully intriguing and really draws the reader into their world and its complexities. This is the sort of book I would've loved to read as a 12-year-old and still very much enjoyed as an adult. So glad I picked up a copy the week it came out and that I got to read it pretty soon after.
