What is it about? (Summary from GoodReads)
Trouble is haunting Cassidy Blake . . . even more than usual.
She (plus her ghost best friend, Jacob, of
course) are in Paris, where Cass’s parents are filming their TV show about the
world’s most haunted cities. Sure, it’s fun eating croissants and seeing the
Eiffel Tower, but there’s true ghostly danger lurking beneath Paris, in the
creepy underground Catacombs.
When Cass accidentally awakens a frighteningly
strong spirit, she must rely on her still-growing skills as a ghosthunter —
and turn to friends both old and new to help her unravel a mystery. But time is
running out, and the spirit is only growing stronger.
And if Cass fails, the force she’s unleashed
could haunt the city forever.
My thoughts:
I quite enjoyed book one, and since Schwab is one of my favourite authors, I really wanted to pick this one up!
Again I really enjoyed the humour in this book! Also the writing style is so good! I just flew through this book, I think I read it in 3 hours!
The friendship between Cass and Jacob might be my favourite thing about this whole series! In my review for the first book I said there was not much character development, but I think in this book there is definitely some development!
(yes I’m currently reading my review for book one..)
In my review for book one I said that this was so different from her other work, because it is middle grade. And also that the introduction was quite long. I didn’t have that problem this time, since I knew what to expect, and this one doesn’t really have a huge introduction since it is a sequel. So compared to the first book, I feel like there is a bit more action in this one!
I also said that Cass felt older (14) than she is supposed to be (12), which I still agree with. Since she makes decisions that feel a bit above her age?!
Last thing I want to compare, is that it felt like the archived, which it still does! But, you know, the concept is so good!
I really enjoyed this book, and can’t wait to see where the next book will take place, and what adventure it will bring!
Love your review! I enjoyed both books but the ending and the hints about Jacob has me beyond excited for book 3!
Exactly!!
Great review! I love these books and can’t wait for the third.
Thanks! Me neither!
I went to her book signing for this one, even though I haven’t read the first in the series yet. But it was a signed copy! Like you, Schwab is one of my favorite authors.
Ooh that’s so cool! I’m jealous!
I hope you will enjoy this series when you pick it up!
