City of Ghosts by Victoria Schwab
If you have ever been interested in the paranormal or supernatural and wondered what it would be like to talk to ghosts or even have one as a best friend… this is your series, friends. “City of Ghosts” is the first in a trilogy (so far) from crossover author, Victoria Schwab, who some may know better as V.E. Schwab of the “Shades of Magic” series. This being the first book I’ve read of Victoria’s (Or V.E. - however you choose to refer to her) I have high hopes for the other books by her on my TBR list.
This YA novel, however, taps into a childhood passion of mine. That’s right, my childhood passion was (and still is) ghosts. In “City of Ghosts” we follow Cassidy Blake to Scotland with her ghost hunting parents to film their television show “The Inspecters”. The big twist? After an accident in her childhood, Cassidy can not only see and talk to ghosts but travel through the veil into their world. Alongside her is the ghost that saved her life, her best friend Jacob.
Cassidy and Jacob are in for a real surprise when they arrive in Scotland and find another girl like Cassidy named Lara. But the villain of this novel? That’s right… a haunting, classic ghost called the ‘Lady in Red,’ hell-bent on stealing the life force of Cassidy and children all over the town of Edinburgh.
Lara, Cassidy and Jacob have to race against time to stop the Lady in Red and save, not only the children of Edinburgh, but Cassidy herself… again.
This book was easy to read and fast paced. I’m really excited to read the next one, which I believe takes place in the Paris catacombs. (It can only get spookier!) The second book is titled “Tunnel of Bones” with a third novel in the series being recently announced titled “Bridge of Souls” set for release March 2, 2021. The third book takes place in one of the most haunted cities in the United States and one of the most influential for ghost hunters everywhere - New Orleans, Louisiana.
