I'm glad I finally continued on with this trilogy thanks to Destiny for buddy reading it with me. There's no telling when I would have finally got back into this series if it wasn't for her.
Like I said when I read the first book this is a middle grade book and I think for a middle grade book it is done well and I can see the age group that it is marketed to loving it but to me it was a little on the simplistic side. I still enjoyed following Cassidy and Jacob (her ghost best friend) but it wasn't mind blowing. It was easy and predictable but again just like the first book I loved the friendship between Cassidy and Jacob. I think that is my favorite thing in these books.
At the end of book 1 I was worried about where things were going to go with Jacob and we definitely get more on that in this book I'm just glad it didn't go in the direction I thought it was going to go at least not completely.
Overall another enjoyable read and I'm looking forward to reading the final book. I can't wait to see where these characters go next.
i loved the setting and the exploration of friendship. it had such creepy vibes and i adored it just like the first one
Cute middle grade! I love Schwab. I listened to this this weekend while I knit a blanket. It was a great cozy middle grade ghost story. I love Cass and Jacob's friendship.
I listened to this on Scribd. Will listen to the third one, also.
As an adult, I really enjoyed the first audiobook. As someone whose spooky reading level is “wimpy” I decided to pick up the second audiobook for this spooky season. I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first; it felt slower and I didn't feel as curious or spooked out as I did with the first one. Still a recommended read for elementary-aged young ones or curious adults.
better than any horror movie ive seen this year but also really light hearted and fun :))
I love this world but didn't enjoy this book as much as the first one. The conflict wasn't as interesting or at least not as developed but seemed more akin to a classic ghost story than the first book. I realise that this was written for children rather than a middle-aged adult like me but I felt Schwab dumbed down Cassidy too much. She's 12 and in modern times, not an infant. A pre-teen in 2019 is going to know basically what a crepe is. I also worry that her parents aren't really providing any sort of education since she knew absolutely nothing about Paris and some of the things she wondered about seemed... worrying. Still, these are fun books and I love ghost stories. I would love a book focusing on Jacob or his backstory since we still don't know anything about it besides he drowned and he's not willing to share with Cassidy.
3.5 stars I enjoyed this one a bit more than the first one. It's a wonderful book for the target audience x.
This book was just as good as the first in the series, and a great quick read during the Halloween season! Having visited the Catacombs in Paris, this was especially spooky as I could remember the cold and damp and creepiness of the space. If you are looking for a spooky page-turner, this is a great choice!
I enjoyed this, but I definitely liked the first one more. I love the characters, so of course I will read the next one. I think this series is perfect for this time of the year.
I pick up City of Ghosts maybe around march of this year, it was the first book that i read by Victoria Schwab. It was also the quick i ever read, until this one! It's easy to fall in love with Victoria Schwab writting and the worlds she creates, at least i can talk for myself.
I read in a lot of reviews that this book it's even better that City of Ghosts, i'm not sure, i love them both so much, but in this second one, we get to know more about Jacob, and how lovely and precious that little boy is!! That boy deserves both worlds (the living, the death and the in between). Also, Cassidy is a really bad ass for a girl of her age, i'm on my 20s and i would 100% not do it half of what she did!! I was always on Jacob side yelling at her! #anxiety
