Another delightful read by the delightful V.E. Schwab! I love that it’s a middle grade novel that adults can enjoy. And perfect for Spooky Season without being too spooky.

I'm just as excited to read about the next haunting as I was after reading the first. Schwab's created a true ghostly gem.

I am absolutely enjoying this series so much. I have missed Cassidy's and Jacob's story. In hope I'll get book #3 soon!

Paris was definitely a good choice for a haunting story. It kinda makes me want to go there again, and see the catacombs, instead of only wandering around for the art galleries.

  
"He seems happier, lighter, after sharing his story. I feel a little heavier after hearing it, but that's okay. That's how friendship works. You learn to share the weight." - p283.

Eine wunderbare Fortsetzung der Reihe mit Einleitung ins nächste Buch. Ich bin gespannt, wo es hingeht und was die Zukunft für Cassidy und Jacob bringt.

I think I liked this book waaay better than the first one. The characters were better (though Cassidy is still annoying af —a millennial mirror), the plot was a tad more interesting and more tense.

Of course I have the same criticism from the other book, but overall, I enjoyed it a little more. I think it’s disappointing to see Victoria Schwab completely miss the opportunity of a great storyline knowing her other novels. 

Loved the ending btw, left me alarmed. Gonna read the third book now.
