It’s a quick read, but is paced perfectly. (Basically, for those who have read Vicious, Cassidy is an EO-though I don’t think this book is set in the same universe.) As the tension mounts, it’s hard to put this book down. The explanation of Cass’ powers is flawless, and watching her knowledge increase throughout the plot is interesting and entertaining. And there are plenty of fun Harry Potter references.įurthermore, I really enjoyed the plot. Schwab captures the energy and atmosphere of this city perfectly, and Cass’ journey takes her through many fantastic spots there. Many places mentioned, like Greyfriars and the castle, were wonderful to visit again, even just on the page.
I loved that this book takes place in Edinburgh, where I’ve visited. And so Cass realizes she has a lot to learn about her powers, and the strange world she’s found. There, Cass and Jacob encounter more ghosts than ever, meet a mysterious girl who seems to have the same ability, and are chased by a frightening figure called the Raven in Red. Then Cass’ parents-paranormal specialists/authors-take her to Edinburgh, Scotland to film a television show. Now, her best friend is a ghost named Jacob, and together they try to understand Cass’ power and their strange connection. Since then, she has been able to see ghosts, and cross into the Veil-the realm where spirits exist.
This time, it’s one of her middle grade novels, City of Ghosts.Ĭassidy Blake was normal, until a year ago, when she nearly drowned in an icy river. To no one’s surprise, I have read another book by Victoria (V.
