Ha estado bien. Lo mejor ha sido sin duda la ambientación. No lo suficientemente bien como para continuar con los otros dos.

Review:
This was my first time reading a book in a series by Victoria Schwab so i wasnt sure what to expect but i have to say i surprisingly loved it. I found it intriguing to learn about how a Haunted House Show evolves.
The Characters were fun and interesting to read about. Cassidy was definately my favorite. I really felt for her especially after she recovered from her drowning.
The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in the book while reading especially when Cassidy toured a haunted house with her parents.
Overall a Good Book 1 in this Middle Grade, Mystery Series!! Can't wait to read more by Victoria in the future!!

i knew from the start i would enjoy this book because victoria schwab never disappoints. and it’s true, her writing is as beautiful as in her other books, whimsical and lyrical.
as for the story, i’m a bit conflicted because i expected more. it had a « feels like home » atmosphere, kinda like the harry potter books, because the writing and setting felt comforting in a way. i read it during the beginning of autumn and the mood was just right. but at the same time the story felt a bit simple and linear, and it was not as scary or epic as i hoped, especially for the « final battle » (for example, the pjo series, in the middle school genre, is much more action-packed and suspenseful).
but overall i really liked this strange little story and can’t wait to read about cassidy & jacob’s next adventures in paris!!

I liked this a lot! Cass was a cool MC and Jacob is great and I wish we got to know Lara better. I liked the ghost aspect as well, and the story, and I am excited to see where it'll go!

This was a really fun read! I know I’m not the intended audience as it’s more middle grade than YA or adult fantasy, but I thought that Cassidy made a really good protagonist and I liked the story! Can’t wait to read Tunnel of Bones
