City of Ghosts by Victoria Schwab

City of Ghosts (City of Ghosts, #1)

by Victoria Schwab

 


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.

-Reminds me of Coraline
-Hurray for involved (and alive!) parents.
-MG books are great because boys and girls can be friends without there being ~tension~ or hints of romance. As a result, I loved Cassidy and Jacob's friendship.
-Loved all the Harry Potter references.
-The setting was delightfully spooky. Perfect read for October/Halloween.
-Any idea if the ghosts mentioned are real stories/legends?
-The book ends in a way that the story could be a stand along.
-It's not, obviously.
-What's going to happen?? Please don't let Jacob turn evil.
-I enjoyed the story but I didn't love it.
-I've never been overly wow-ed by anything I've read by Schwab.
-Granted the only other story by her I've read is The Archived.
-It's enjoyable but not enough to make me actively seek out more of her other books.
-This was a great audiobook.
-I'll have to pick up Tunnel of Bones on audio if I choose to continue the series.
