I opted to check out the audiobook in the spirit of Halloween. It grabbed my attention before I remembered Victoria Schwab is a YA author. I listen to books during my commutes sometimes, and as I was dropping off my 13yo son at school it piqued his interest and then it did the same for my 9-1/2yo daughter when I was delivering her to volleyball practice. She even picked up a print copy at her school book sale today and surprised me, and her brother, with it tonight. We will all be reading it and the next book in the series as well. The audio was a great listen as well.

I went into this thinking it was a young adult, but read a little younger than I like. The story was ok, but I didn't like all the Harry Potter references.

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).
