In my journey to eventually read all of V.E. Schwab's books, this book was absolutely a delight! I loved the way ghosts were re-imagined in this book, and Cass and Jacob's friendship was probably one of my favorite aspects of the book. The fact that Cass's parents are ghost hunters but her dad doesn't believe Cass can see ghosts just adds a fun twist on the whole story.

There's so much you can do with this concept, and I'm excited to see where the series goes next! I checked this out to read in the Halloween season, which we are passed now, but it fit the current weather here, so that's fine with me too. Also, the fact that Schwab can write for any audience is a feat in and of itself and I'm just in awe of her writing skill!
