Publisher's Summary
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...).

A well told ghost story for all ages!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, the story is well written and easy to fall into. The characters are interesting and the story is binge-worthy. I enjoyed the Harry Potter references and the nod to the historical facts of Scotland. I hope there are a series of these, I highly recommend.

A short, fun adventure with a great world
This was a short but captivating piece about a girl and her interaction with the other realm. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and found the world and ghost system very intriguing. The first book has sewn the seeds of intrigue for what is sure to be a good little series, and I'm keen to continue the adventure with Cassidy and Jacob.
My only critique was I found the "oh the brits are so different to us Americans" descriptions and interactions a little irritating, and perhaps Cassidy's narrative voice at the beginning a little simplistic, however I do acknowledge that it's a book for younger readers than Schwab's usual audience so I don't hold it against her. Overall, the book has all the elements of being well loved by younger readers, and I wish I'd been able to read it in my early teens.
*Audiobook review*
Good narration, with distinctive voices and a good amount of tonal variety dependent on the events within the book. Not sure if I liked the exaggeration of the parents, but the voices were at least identifiable and easy to differentiate in dialogue-heavy scenes. Overall, an enjoyable listen.

Not great
Narrator had the most annoying voice. The story jumped between some interesting writing and then colloquial ramblings full of American pop culture references. totally unrelatable for my Australian kids. Got half way through and could not listen any longer and had to return it to audible.
