City of Ghosts (1)

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Victoria (V.E.) Schwab (The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue) comes a sweeping, spooky, evocative adventure, perfect for fans of Stranger Things. An instant bestseller!

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.

This a great little ghost story. A little scary for a young person, but not very scary if you’re an adult, which I prefer... I don’t like being too scared. I like the characters a lot and I’d definitely read a sequel.

It was an entertaining book, I loved the friendship dynamic between Cassidy and Jacob, That was honestly my favourite part (It might sound childish)

The writing is very simple , so simple you could finish it in one go, very casual? its as if you are reading a blog (no offence), it was a decent story, not much of a plot in there this is an "okay" book.


I'll definitely give the second book a try, since I want to know what will happen to Cassidy and ...read more
