My Thoughts

This book is a playful, spooky ghost story. A quick read with a lighthearted feel. I loved this book because it is full of great relationships and chosen family bonds, Victoria Schwab’s specialty. I love how this book takes common ghost stories and adds an extra flair to it. While it is predictable, it pops up with unique little surprises. My favorite part is the relationship between Cassidy and her best friend. The narrator’s voice was perfect for the story. I went in expecting to love this book and was not disappointed. I’ll be reading the rest of the series for sure.
