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...).

Pretty good teen book, but the accents?!
Interesting story, good premise. Genuinely awful accents. I say this with good humour but don't listen to this if you're at all sensitive about English or Scottish accents. Really it was very distracting and unintentionally funny!

No Cat
I have no idea why there's a black cat on the cover of this book. The character's family has a cat but it's not in any way involved in the story, so if you're hoping for a ghost cat companion as I was you will be disappointed!

Harry Potter fan fiction
In this book the author makes frequent references to Harry Potter books when describing characters or scenes. This author is capable of original work, so the need to refer to another author’s work is puzzling as well as irritating.

Hunting ghosts in Edinburgh
A great setting for this story, Edinburgh makes ghost stories sound real. In this one, the narrating character, Cassidy, is friends with Jacob, a ghost who saved her life and thus gained access to the world of the living. Viceversa, Cassidy can now go beyond the veil and feels and sees ghosts. She's surprised to meet another "in-betweener" in Edinburgh, and to find out that feeling ghosts and going beyond the veil actually have a purpose. Even more surprising and scary is the discovery of a very powerful ghost who seems to have a dangerous and strong influence on the living. A good first novel in a series, lively narrated.

not bad
ok so it's more of a short story than a book to me..Jacob was a fun and different take on a ghost and the story was light-hearted and an easy read..I did however feel this is more aimed at teenagers and not a 44 year old man..I bought this as I enjoyed vicious!..all in all tho I did enjoy..my only critique on the audio is a moment or two of dodgy Scottish accents!

Good and fresh
Well written and performed. Cute middle grade story. Worth the listen.
I loved the friendship in this story. So nice and pure. Jacob was my favourite character. Very well and so tragic. My heart aches for this boy.
