I truly love everything I’ve ever read from Victoria Schwab, and City of Ghosts was no exception. Cute, spooky, and full of fun Harry Potter references.
The book was a bit simplistic for my tastes, and definitely meant for a slightly younger reader than most of Schwab’s books, but I do love me a good ghost story. So it worked for me.
I am thrilled to see it will be a series though, because it definitely felt like “the first book” of something. I am very excited to see where the Inspecters take us next.

The interesting stuff doesn’t happen until 3/4 of the way through the book. Very YAish. Not brilliant writing, but not terrible. I finished it anyway.

Look, there was too much Harry Potter for my taste, but the story outside of that? Fantastic. First books in trilogies have to give up so much space to introduce every detail, but I really enjoyed getting to know Cass and Jacob and I look forward to the rest of the series.
Ahhhh! I want more <3 I want to keep following Cass and Jacob around to their wonderful "Inspecters" adventures, I want more of Cass and Lara interaction. I want to KNOW Jacob's backstory and what tied him with Cassidy. I want to know if her parents will ever actually believe her and if she'll ever actually tell them the whole truth. This book was great and I hope there will be more of this story... and hopefully soon.
