This is a unique plot and fun for the intended age group. Cassidy Blake can see ghosts, in fact, her bestie is a ghost himself. When Cassidy travels with her family to Edinburgh to make a TV series, ironically, about ghosts and the paranormal, she begins to confront more powerful ghosts. It’s not entirely clear why a powerful ghost called The Raven becomes particularly enamored with Cassidy, but she will confront her darkest fears in escaping.

I sorely wish I had written a review in 2019. I remember Cass, Jake, Laura, and their Edinburgh adventures left an impression. I found this book cute, engaging, and enlightening re: new ghost mechanics I’ve never seen before. Cassidy Blake has a different experience than say, Mikey McGill (a ghost from another series, Everlost)

"Cada vez que me siento nerviosa o asustada, me recuerdo que toda buena historia necesita giros inesperados. Toda heroína necesita una aventura."
El libro que me hizo desear tener un mejor amigo fantasma.
Al fin joder, un libro que me atrapa y me gusta de verdad. Nada mejor que un middle grade.
Con personajes que no me frustren o me aburran, de hecho pienso que son simples pero no por ello son cascaras vacías sin carisma. Me gusta mucho el dúo de amigos que hace Cassidy y Jacob. Todo el ambiente mágico y misterioso se me hizo lindo de alguna forma (?).
Definitivamente seguiré con su siguiente parte (sale hasta dentro de unos meses pero yo no soy paciente, fuck).

I almost forgot to review this, lmao. Anyway, this book was quite good because Victoria Schwab knows wtf is up! I already enjoy things about the paranormal (Buzzfeed Unsolved), so I was like, "Yeehaw, I have to read this". The main character, Cass, had a 12 year old vibe (which she was supposed to have), and I thought that was well good. Cass is a twelve-ish year old who is able to cross over to the land of spirits and such because she has had a near death experience. She's best friends with this ghost kid, Jacob, who thinks Captain America is God. All good times. Her parents are basically Ryan Bergara and Shane Madej, so you know I was whipped. Her parents wrote books about the history of supposedly haunted locations. They get the chance to make a TV show about it, so they took their daughter with them to Edinburgh, Scotland. A lot goes down there, and I developed the urge to eat fish and chips. The ending made me very hyped for the sequel. I recommend all of Victoria Schwab's work. It's amazing.

It was a lot of fun reading about places I had just visited. That being said, I am a wimp. And I've discovered ghost stories just aren't for me.
