Book Review | Cassidy Blake Series | V. E. Schwab

After a near-death experience, Cassidy Blake has a new talent and a new best friend who happens to be a ghost. Well… the new talent is more of a distraction. Whenever there’s a ghost nearby, she feels a tap tap tap that won’t go away until she crosses the veil to witness what happened. Now her parents are telling her that instead of a quiet summer at the beach – where she can barely hear the ghosts – they’re going to be traveling to the most haunted places in the world to film their new television series. Begrudgingly, Cassidy packs her suitcase and tries to make the most out of the constant pull from the viel. At least her new best friend gets to come along. The ghost that saved her from dying. The ghost that makes sure she doesn’t spend too long in the veil. But the longer Cassidy is in these haunted locations, the stronger the pull becomes, leading Cassidy to discover that her gift is for more than playing the observer. She’s meant to help the souls cross over. This also means that she needs to right the unbalance she created when her best friend saved her.
