I didn' know what to spect. YA V. E.? OK, I'm interested and got it for my kid with the idea to read it first before they do. I wanted to make sure it wasn't too scary as they are not interested in scary stories. At their age I was deep into goosebumps and eerie Indiana, but not them.
I started to enjoy the book, I reall like Cass and Jacob. And her parents were interesting and cookie. It was a fast fun read, were I have already started to read it to my kid at night. Listening to m kid giggle and be curious as to how Jacob ends up were he is, has been delightful.
I'm looking forward to #2 and I'm so glad to introduce V. E. So to my kid already ☺️

3.5⭐
Questa piccola trilogia è riuscita a piacermi nella sua imperfezione, proprio perché non pretende di essere chissà che: trama non molto originale, ma sviluppata abbastanza bene; scrittura scorrevole ed evocativa nonostante la sua semplicità; world building adatto alla storia, non troppo dettagliato ma neanche lasciato totalmente al caso; lo stesso per i personaggi, un po’ stereotipati ma in linea con lo stile dei libri.

I can't remember the last time I loved a book this much. The setting, the characters, the story. Everything was great about it, I don't really care if it's a middle grade, it was just so well written. It reminded me of why I love reading and reminded of why I want to be an author. I could sing this book praise after praise.
If I was to nitpick there were a few things that just didn't sit right, like Cassidy being kind of werided out by the british customs, but she's twelve and it's a culture shock so what can I expect. It was just a little annoying to read but apart from that it was great. I can't wait to read the sequel.

El mayor atractivo de este libro para mi no ha sido su trama, que tampoco está nada mal teniendo en cuenta que está destinado a un público más bien infantil. Es un libro ágil y entretenido, pero lo mejor es su ambientación.
Cassidy es una niña capaz de atravesar el velo que separa el mundo terrenal del de los muertos desde una experiencia cercana a la muerte que tuvo. Esta habilidad le permite ver fantasmas, lo cual es curioso teniendo en cuenta que sus padres se dedican a explorar precisamente historias paranormales a través de distintas ciudades. Este libro en concreto transcurre en Edimburgo, y esto es precisamente lo que más me ha gustado. A pesar de ser un libro tan cortito y rápido, la ambientación está bastante conseguida y a mi me ha despertado esa curiosidad por aprender más cosas de la ciudad, cosa que se valora mucho en un libro sobre todo cuando va destinado a público más peque.
Si lo hubiese pillado algo más joven, seguro que le hubiese dado las 5 estrellas, porque además todo lo relacionado con fantasmas y ciudades encantadas me fascina. Y este libro tiene escenas bastante oscurillas para ser infantil. La verdad es que sí que lo recomiendo.
