“Trouble is haunting Cassidy Blake . . . even more than usual.
She (plus her ghost best friend, Jacob, of course) are in Paris, where Cass’s parents are filming their TV show about the world’s most haunted cities. Sure, it’s fun eating croissants and seeing the Eiffel Tower, but there’s true ghostly danger lurking beneath Paris, in the creepy underground Catacombs.
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. But time is running out, and the spirit is only growing stronger.
And if Cass fails, the force she’s unleashed could haunt the city forever.”
Series Info: This is the second book in the Cassidy Blake series. I got this book from the library.
Characters (4/5): I continue to really enjoy Cass and Jacob. They are funny and interesting. It’s been fun to watch Jacob get stronger and see Cass grow into her own powers.
Story (4/5): This story follows the same format as the first, it’s fairly predictable but still a fun read. There is a ghostly mystery for Cass and Jacob to solve while Cass’s parents are filming. This time it was a poltergeist kid. I love how Cass is making new friends and acquaintances at each location she visits. The story never gets too creepy or scary but does have a nice eerie vibe to it.
Setting (5/5): I really love these international settings there are very fun. I especially like learning about all of these ghostly and creepy attractions at these locations. This time they were in Paris, France.
Writing Style (4/5): Schwab’s writing style is easy to read and engaging.
Summary (4/5): Overall this was a quick and fun read for me. I love the settings, the eerie stories and the fun characters. I would recommend to those who enjoy eerie ghost mysteries and/or international locations.
