Cassidy Blake can feel and see ghosts. In fact, her best friend is a ghost. But when her family travels to Edinburgh to film a ghost show, Cassidy may meet a ghost that is too much for her to handle.
I really liked the characters in this book and the characterization was fantastic, especially for a middle-grade novel. The plot was also super interesting and I hope that each book travels to a different city because that would be really interesting. The only thing that I didn't like in this book was the amount of times that Harry Potter was mentioned. I understand that Edinburgh and Harry Potter have a significant connection but it just took me out of the story every time.
Overall though, really amazing read. Definitely going to continue this series.
