I am absolutely enjoying this series so much. I have missed Cassidy's and Jacob's story. In hope I'll get book #3 soon!

Paris was definitely a good choice for a haunting story. It kinda makes me want to go there again, and see the catacombs, instead of only wandering around for the art galleries.

  
"He seems happier, lighter, after sharing his story. I feel a little heavier after hearing it, but that's okay. That's how friendship works. You learn to share the weight." - p283.

Eine wunderbare Fortsetzung der Reihe mit Einleitung ins nächste Buch. Ich bin gespannt, wo es hingeht und was die Zukunft für Cassidy und Jacob bringt.

 Eu gostei mais dessa leitura, por ter um quê sombrio maior, ao mesmo tempo que me deixou mais instigada de entender tudo que estava acontecendo. Gostei de ter um desfecho mais bem trabalhado que o primeiro livro, na minha opinião, foi mais intenso, condizente com a narrativa como um todo, dessa vez não fiquei com a sensação de que foi fácil demais para uma criança de 12 anos (sigo inconformada com isso rsrsrsrs mas agora, parando pra pensar com mais calma, HP e Percy Jackson também tinham essa idade nas primeiras aventuras, ou seja, será que é um sintoma de ficar mais velha?! Achando coisa de jovem demais rsrsrsrs). 
O gancho para o terceiro e último livro da trilogia me pegou demais, estou curiosíssima para entender o que está rolando e como dona VE Schwab vai finalizar esse universo.

I loved how this book took place in paris, and had little french references and speech. It was funny at times, but then also became spooky, mysterious, and adventurous. I loved this and the first book so much!

Great continuation of Cassidy Blake's adventures with her super cool history/supernatural nerd parents. This time, we are in France and Cassidy gets to figure out how to deal with a poltergeist. I truly love Jacob's friendship and also his fears and struggles. 

I genuinely feel much more interested in Jacob rather than Cassidy and often times I almost feel like there is some kind of, not necessarily a copy/paste, but something similar with almost all of the characters in this series except for Jacob with the HP characters. Like Cassidy reminds me of Harry Potter and his pretty dull personality (imo), Lara is basically Hermione, the new character we meet reminds me of Jenny or whatever. Jacob could be Ron, but he's got a little more umpff. 

Anyways, I am super intrigued by the ending though! Possibly a secret society? o.o

Tunnel of Bones is the exciting sequel for the Cassidy Blake series. I have to admit that I love exploring the Catacombs and the generally creepy feel of the series. I found myself geniunely scared for Cass and Jacob when they explore the tunnel of bones. Lots of claustrophobia and tons of creepiness in Paris. My favorite part has to be knowing that there are different types of ghosts and learning more about poltergists. The friendship between Jacob and Cass is the central part of the novel, the icing on the cake so to say. 

I love the part where Jacob opens up to Cass about his death and life, taking a lot of courage. I was geniunely confused as to how he died first because like a dummy I thought Jacob died saving  Cass lmao. 

3.9/5 C+
