City of Ghosts Synopsis:
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.

This is the first book that I am reading from Victoria Schwab, and I think she did a pretty good job for it being her debut novel in the middle grade genre as she primarily writes YA Fantasy.I loved the characters and their interactions in this book. Moreover, all the characters have very distinctive personalities and I really liked the friendship between Cassidy and Jacob. The only thing that I didn’t like was the first half of the book where the pacing was very slow. Overall though, it was a very entertaining read!
