However, I just really did not like Cassidy in this one. She has never been the smartest protagonist but this whole book hinges on the fact that she is just stupid. Truly, her stupidity is completely unmatched. It's almost unbelievable. Her common sense was just completely gone throughout this book, and it got on my nerves at times.
I also really disliked the ending. I do have to say that the events in the end were very much lead by Cassidy's stupidity. So it would make sense for me not to like it. However, I also have to say that it just felt a bit anti-climactic, and a bit too sunshine and rainbows. I know it's a middle grade book, and I definitely didn't expect this to be all doom and gloom. However, it was just a bit too positive. I don't know. It felt very fake and disingenious. It just didn't work for me.

Esta es de mis series favoritas de Schwab precisamente por el formato que he elegido para disfrutarlo: el audiolibro.
Una trilogía de terror de una adolescente de trece años que puede ver fantasmas con su mejor amigo también fantasma...La misión de mandar esprectros al otro lado se suele complicar.
El formato audiolibro te permite zambullirte en este middle-grade y hasta pasar algo de miedo gracias a sus efectos y la tremenda actriz que lee el libro (oírlo de noche y a oscuras, como yo también ayuda). Voy a echar de menos a mi niña Cassidy.

And so, the Veil falls for one last time for Cassidy Blake...and I am going to miss her.
This is the last installment of the trilogy, which I listened on audiobook and that, to me, is the best way to enjoy it (specially if you, like me listen it to it at night and in the dark...so, the eerie, and sometimes scary effects hit where they need to).
I liked this story, specially the setting as I always wanted to see New Orleans. I like how darker this was and how the consequences from the previous books came to catch our young protagonists while mantaining the narrative rythtm all the way until the end of the story. I also like how this story laces dead and ghostly parts with more human, living interactions (no, spoilers, I promise).
Maybe the only thing that left me a bit unsure was that the resolution of the conflict was too quick for my taste (Do not take this the wrong way: while the conflict was at its peak I was holding on for dear life, I just wanted to be longer).
