The second book in the Cassidy Blake series is similar in many ways to the first book in the series. Cassidy travels to a new city with her ghost show hosting parents. Cassidy meets a new paranormal threat that she has to face. Cassidy is able to succeed with the help of her ghostly best friend Jacob and a new local friend.
It's a cute little story and doesn't really veer too much into the scary department. That said I did not like one of the changes in this novel. I wasn't a big fan of Cassidy's parents new found distrust. I get that after the events of the first book there may be some reason for it, but at the same time it sounds like Cassidy was honest with them and they didn't believe her.
I do understand that it would be a bit of a hard thing to believe and that her parents aren't necessarily super mean or anything. However, there were moments that just felt a bit off in the book due when that aspect did show up. Cassidy herself also makes some questionable choices in the book as well.
So while I did enjoy it and it is a good book, I wouldn't call it a great book. This does leave you with an somewhat mysterious ending. It's not a cliffhanger, but more feels like introducing someone or something that is going to have significance in the next book. Even so, it has me looking forward to the final book in the trilogy and seeing how this series wraps up.

Victoria does it again, makes me enjoy a chilling story even the ones thought for children are uterly emjoyable. Her voice and descriptions make me see Paris through Cassidy.
This summer, Cassidy Blake and Jacob, her best friend and a ghost, follow her parents through the world in a ghost hunting TV program while at the same time learning about ghost hunting themselves. In this book it's Paris, and specially Partis catacombs that make an important appearance. Upping the ante, it's not just an angry ghost it's a poltergeist they have to fight this time.
And a new friend made in a new city.

Entertaining read. I love that you see the conflict in Cassie about lying to her parents, yet wanting to do the right thing. Jacob is a character that really grows on you.
