I didn't think it was possible, but I think this may be vying for the top spot of my favourite Schwab ever <33

the story is quite intriguing and I actually liked it. The very end even gave me a chill and kept me wondering what did happen to Jacob.

"Embrace your strange, dear daughter. Where's the fun in being normal?"
Everything VE Schwab creates is so much fun. I haven't read everything she's written yet, but I've really loved what I've read. She's creative, and a fantastic storyteller.
City of Ghosts is the first book in her new series, and it's about a girl who can see ghosts. Her parents are paranormal investigators, and this book takes them to Scotland to record their new TV show. I thought the setting of City of Ghosts was absolutely perfect, and I enjoyed seeing the characters explore the area. It was so easy to get invested in this book, and I want more!
This book was surprisingly spooky for a middle-grade book. It's not horror all the way through, but quite a few of the death and ghost scenes were creepy. Now I'm dying for VE Schwab to write an adult horror novel (please!).
I like that there was a bit of a tie-in to Vicious & Vengeful - Cassidy had a near-death experience, and now has a gift that she has to figure out how to deal with. I hope we get to see Cassidy grow up - I'm interested to find out how dealing with that would affect someone as they get older. I thought that Cassidy and Jacob's friendship was so sweet, and I'm also interested in seeing what happens to him.
I was very happy to hear that the second book in this series will be our in the summer, and I'm really looking forward to it! I love the idea of visiting different spooky settings. Side note, the covers of these books are gorgeous, and I love them.
Please don't let the middle-grade label deter you - this book was so enjoyable, and I think there's something for everyone to love here. This book was such a blast to read, and I need everything VE Schwab writes!
