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. NYT bestselling author Victoria Schwab delivers a thrillingly spooky and action-packed tale of hauntings, history, mystery, and the bond between friends (even if that friend is a ghost . . .).

Reviewed by ViktoriaEine sehr unterhaltsame cozy Geistergeschichte; der Schreibstil ist leicht verständlich und auch das Englisch war gut um reinzukommen! Ich freue mich schon, in Zukunft mehr von V. E. Schwab zu lesen. 4/5 ✨✨
Reviewed by Eileen Dierner Edinburgh ist so treffend beschrieben, man hat das Gefühl, zusammen mit Cassidy durch die Straßen zu wandern und Fish and Chips zu essen.

Reviewed by Natália Oliveira<blockquote><b><i> “There's a difference between wanting to stay and being too afraid to let go.” </i></b></blockquote> Another audiobook experience and I'm finding I quite like hearing the stories told for me. I had some issues with a specific voice here, but the experience was very enjoyable. This was a middle-grade book and it showed. Cassidy is just a girl and often she makes impulsive choices that show how young and inexperienced she is. I liked her friendship with Jacob, but I don't care much for his character and at times I found him annoying. I enjoyed the relationship between Cassidy and her parents, I think it's hard to find middle grade or YA books where the parents really play a part or aren't there just to cause conflict for the main character. I also loved her friendship with Lara, and I enjoy characters like hers - they seem a little stuck up at first, but when they open up they are caring and brave and adventurous. I hope we get to see more of her in the future books - I mean, a powerful girl duo of ghost hunters! Yes, please! I like the tales and legends presented in the book and the setting was perfect for a ghost story - at times there was this eerie atmosphere that helped the more 'scary' parts of the book. The plot overall was very simple, but it was done right and the ending - though not very surprising or full of twists, was good and had me reading the whole thing in one go. A good, fun, light read for when I need something more quick and simple, in between more complex and dark books. Victoria Schwab's writing is always a good read for me and this one didn't disappoint. It doesn't have the usual dose of darkness and complexity I came to expect from her, but since the target audience is younger than usual, I can't hold it against the book. I will be following Cass & Jacob's next adventures!
