It’s safe to say Schwab is one of my favourite authors and this story I’m pleased to say does not disappoint. Cass finds out she has released from the Catacombs a poltergeist a spirit that gets stronger and stronger with each act they commit in our world but Cass also finds out that the skills she has already learned in order to move ghosts on may not be enough to stop her and rest of Paris being placed in mortal danger. Cass has the ability to cross in the Veil (the hidden world where ghosts reside when not haunting us) and in the process appears to attract the attention of a spirit that initially just seems to tease her from just letting the cat out to then starting to place her and her family in danger. Now with her TV presenter parents continuing their world tour of ghostly cities the family arrive in Paris where this time the city known for romance is instead a scene of haunting.Ĭass and Jacob find themselves within the Catacombs of Paris (a miles long labyrinth containing the bones of 6 million inhabitants!). Last year I was very impressed with Victoria Schwab’s City of Ghosts where a young American teenager Cass and her best friend Jacob (who just happens to be a ghost) explored the haunting locations within Edinburgh.

But sometimes we forget that ghosts are part of many cultures and cities – their history be it ancient or relatively recent easily leads to spooky tales that can be both very different and similar to those in the UK. In the UK it appears every stately home and ruin has some form of ghost be they grey or headless. But time is running out, and the spirit is only growing stronger.Īnd if Cass fails, the force she’s unleashed could haunt the city forever.īonjour!! Everywhere has ghost stories (even some members of my family…). When Cass accidentally awakens a frighteningly strong spirit, she must rely on her still growing skills as a ghosthunter – and turn to friends both old and new to help her unravel a mystery.

The TV show is fun, but little do they know about the true ghostly danger lurking beneath Paris, in the creepy underground Catacombs. Trouble is haunting Cassidy Blake…undead trouble.Ĭass is in Paris, where her parents are filming their TV show about the world’s most haunted cities.

I would like to thank Mary from Scholastic for an advance copy of this novel in exchange for a fair and honest review
