Books On Our Radar: City of Ghosts by Victoria Schwab
City of Ghosts by Victoria Schwab is technically a middle grade novel, but you know I am going to read every book from one of my favorite authors. You can’t stop me. I also think is sounds so very much her style and I can’t wait! Having been to Edinburgh, and I even went down into the underground vaults, and they are spooky as hell. So I can very much visualize the inspiration behind this story, about Cassidy’s ghost hunting parents, who head to Scotland, that is extremely haunted. Meanwhile, Cassidy is just a girl who can actually see ghosts, and decides to help ghosts crossover the veil. City of Ghosts is releasing on August 28th, and I have a feeling if you love YA, or if you love Victoria’s writing you will want to add this one to your TBR!

Cassidy Blake’s parents are The Inspectres, a (somewhat inept) ghost-hunting team. But Cass herself can REALLY see ghosts. In fact, her best friend, Jacob, just happens to be one.
When The Inspectres head to ultra-haunted Edinburgh, Scotland, for their new TV show, Cass—and Jacob—come along. In Scotland, Cass is surrounded by ghosts, not all of them friendly. Then she meets Lara, a girl who can also see the dead. But Lara tells Cassidy that as an In-betweener, their job is to send ghosts permanently beyond the Veil. Cass isn’t sure about her new mission, but she does know the sinister Red Raven haunting the city doesn’t belong in her world. Cassidy’s powers will draw her into an epic fight that stretches through the worlds of the living and the dead, in order to save herself.
