City of Ghosts by V.E. Schwab
5.0

I enjoyed this story so much that I could not stop thinking about it every time I put it down. I was drawn to it by the cover itself (anything with a cat on the cover calls to me). I don’t want to say to much about it because it being a middle grade, it’s hard to explain my thoughts without spoiling anything. But the moral of the story is you’re following a girl named Cassidy who has a ghost as a best friend and her parents who study ghosts. They end up going to Edinburgh for her parents to film a show about their ghost stories and Cass finds herself in different situations that will have you at the edge of your seat just to see what will happen next.

Schwab’s writing in this story is very captivating and makes you feel like you’re in the story. The ghost references felt so real and my imagination went wild throughout the entire story. I enjoyed Cass and Jacob a lot and I’m so anxious to find out what happens next with them because you finish the story wondering if Jacob is really who you think he is.

If you’re not much of a middle grade reader- I still highly suggest you pick this up! It feels way more than 272 page book and you won’t want to stop reading it!
