From number-one New York Times best-selling author Victoria Schwab comes a sweeping, spooky, evocative adventure, perfect for fans of Stranger Things and Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.

Ever since Cass almost drowned (okay, she did drown, but she doesn't like to think about it), she can pull back the Veil that separates the living from the dead...and enter the world of spirits. Her best friend is even a ghost.

So things are already pretty strange. But they're about to get much stranger.

When Cass's parents start hosting a TV show about the world's most haunted places, the family heads off to Edinburgh, Scotland. Here, graveyards, castles, and secret passageways teem with restless phantoms. And when Cass meets a girl who shares her "gift", she realizes how much she still has to learn about the Veil - and herself.

And she'll have to learn fast. The city of ghosts is more dangerous than she ever imagined.

New York Times best-selling author Victoria Schwab delivers a thrillingly spooky and action-packed tale of hauntings, history, mystery, and the bond between friends (even if that friend is a ghost...).

I live anything the V Schuab puts out. I even found this entertaining; however, it is intended for a younger crowd. I would say 5th grade and up. kinda mysterious, kinda spooky, but not the typical dark, gothic, bloody, action packed Schuab that I love!!

Super good story from the beginning. Keeps you hooked all throughout. I really enjoyed the performance and I loved that she mentioned a bunch of verbiage the character found odd like saying biscuits instead of cookies and torch instead of flashlight because I’ve always found that odd too.

um, i totally loved this!!!

I guess it shouldn't be surprising because it's Victoria Schwab after all, right? I knew it would probably be <i>good</i> but omg i had so idea how utterly charming and thrilling it would be.

After Cassidy Blake has a near-death experience, she gains the ability to see ghosts -- and a ghost best friend. Coincidentally, her parents are the writing duo behind the Inspecters paranormal mystery series, but they are in the dark about her ability. Her dad is big on hard facts and a no-nonsense non-believer in ghosts, while her mom loves the stories and is chipper in even the most ominous situations. When they land a TV show exploring the most famously haunted cities, Cassidy ends up spending her summer in Edinburgh and coming face-to-face with the famous Lady in Red.

The narration of this book was so excellent that I’m sure I enjoyed this book more than I would have on paper. She has a clear tone, good inflection, and natural sounding accents (they are in Edinburgh after all!)

Charming, thrilling, and superbly narrated

Loved this story. Jacob and Cassidy are enjoyable to follow. The mix of history , mystery and scares are well done. If looking for a spooky read for a young reader, that like a little history sprinkled in, is is a good choice. Ages 10 and up, maybe 9 are a good fit

Great spooky story for 10yrs and up

I really enjoyed this story. It was a very interesting take on the connections between the physical and ghostly worlds. I was interested the whole time. The narrator is one of the best I've listened to and really made the story Ava the characters come alive.

Wonderful!
