So glad I acted on the temptation the reread this, easily the best thing to come out of the 2010s YA contemporary fantasy boom. It really has it all - psychics, poverty, awkward teen romance, helicopters, Wales, a raven named Chainsaw, people not realising their friend is a ghost, spooky forests and graverobbing. Am going to try and stagger the rest of them but we’ll see how it goes.
