A family trip into Edinburgh’s spirit world

Cass’s ability to cross the boundary between the living and the dead shapes this supernatural adventure. When her parents’ work on a haunted-places television show takes the family to Edinburgh, the city’s graveyards, castles, and passageways become part of Cass’s encounter with restless spirits. Meeting another girl with the same unusual gift also raises questions about what Cass understands of the Veil and herself. The Edinburgh setting connects the family’s travels with Cass’s growing knowledge of her ability, while the supernatural danger gives the story its central tension.

Book overview

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Victoria (V.E.) Schwab (The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue) comes a sweeping, spooky, evocative adventure, perfect for fans of Stranger Things. An instant bestseller!

 

Ever since Cass almost drowned (okay, she did drown, but she doesn't like to think about it), she can pull back the Veil that separates the living from the dead . . . and enter the world of spirits. Her best friend is even a ghost.

 

So things are already pretty strange. But they're about to get much stranger.

 

When Cass's parents start hosting a TV show about the world's most haunted places, the family heads off to Edinburgh, Scotland. Here, graveyards, castles, and secret passageways teem with restless phantoms. And when Cass meets a girl who shares her "gift," she realizes how much she still has to learn about the Veil -- and herself.

 

And she'll have to learn fast. The city of ghosts is more dangerous than she ever imagined.
