"dad says that the world is always changing, every second of every day, and so is everything in it, which means that the you you are right now is different from the you you were when you started reading this sentence. crazy, right? and your memories change, too. (for instance, i swear the teddy bear i had growing up was green, but according to my parents it was orange.) but when you take a photograph, things stay still. the way that they were, is the way that they are, is the way that they will always be."

Made a tier list of all V.E. Schwab's books—there's s few miscellaneous things I haven't read, but it's fun to hammer out a ranking. I was intentionally harsher than I normally am, but to be clear, I've enjoyed all of them (except ExtraOrdinary)! They have so much range sometimes it feels like comparing apples to oranges.

Ik lots of people haven't read all her books, but feel free to rb with your tier list!

V.E Schwab just posted saying she's writing a movie script for a project she can't release the name of.

If it's a book to movie adaption you will probably find out thya me exploding. Even if it's not, I will explode.

Tunnel of Bones was cute but it just wasn't City of Ghosts. Quite possibly I just like Edinburgh as a setting more than Paris 🤷🏻‍♀️

“meu pai diz que o mundo está sempre mudando, a cada segundo, a cada dia, assim como tudo nele, o que significa que a pessoa que você é neste momento é diferente da pessoa que você era quando começou a ler esta frase. Incrível, né? E as nossas memórias mudam também. Mas ao contrário das memórias, quando tiramos fotos, as coisas ficam congeladas. O que elas foram é o que elas são e é o que sempre vão ser.”

City Of Ghosts by Victoria Schwab

Genre: YA, Mid-grade, Urban Fantasy, Fantasy, Fiction

Edition: Hardcover

Book Started: February 4th

Book Finished: February 4th

Page Count: 285

Star Rating: 4.5 stars

Review: I didn't know anything about this book other than my wife said I should read it. So I checked it out from the Library and when I say I had a hard time putting it down, I mean it. It's by no means a long read, but it is captivating and enthralling.

The story is told in first person present, and is about Cassidy Blake, the daughter of two rather famous writers, who focus on telling the history and myths of haunted places. Her mom believes, her dad's a skeptic. And over all she seems fairly normal, except for one thing. She can see ghosts, and her best friend is one of them.

After a near death experience that happened before the book started, she and Jacob were tied to each other, and her strange ability to cross the Veil.

It's not until her parents take her with them as they travel the world for their new show that she finds someone like her in Edenborough, Scotland, the first stop on this tour. Only she finds out there's more to this ability than meets the eye, and not all ghosts just want to be friends.

It's a really fast read, and the action moves quickly. You don't spend too much time with the story dragging. My biggest complaint has to that the threat wasn't explored nearly as much as I would have liked, and didn't feel nearly as fleshed out as it could have been. I think a little more time spent between the discovery of the threat and the actual climax would have been nice.

Overall, great book, will definitely be looking for the next book from the library.

Cassidy Blake Trilogy by Victoria Schwab "City of Ghosts" explores ghost stories from Edinburgh, Scotland. "Tunnel of Bones" explores ghost stories from Paris, France. "Bridge of Souls" explores ghost stories in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA.

These were cute when I first read them, and they're cute on the reread! I love learning about actual local legends! ❤️

Victoria Schwab - Bridge of Souls

Book 3 in the Cassidy Blake series

I picked this book up without realising that it was part of a series, and got about halfway through thinking that the characters just had an unusually complex backstory.

I quite enjoy V. E. Schwab when she's writing for adults. Bridge of Souls is credited to Victoria Schwab to distinguish it as being intended for children, and it comes with a simpler plot and more prosaic writing style. It wasn't bad enough for me not to finish the book, but it also wasn't interesting enough for me to want to read any others in this series.

Could still be an OK book for children, but not recommended for adults.

Title: Cassidy Blake

Author: Victoria Schwab

Series or standalone: series

Publication year: 2018

Genres: fiction, fantasy, paranormal, horror, supernatural

Blurb: Cassidy Blake’s parents are the Inspecters, a (somewhat inept) ghost-hunting team...but Cass herself can really see ghosts. In fact, her best friend Jacob just happens to be one. When the Inspecters head to ultra-haunted Edinburgh, Scotland for their new TV show, Cass and Jacob come along. In Scotland, Cass is surrounded by ghosts, not all of them friendly...then she meets Lara, a girl who can also see the dead. Lara tells Cassidy that as an In-Betweener, their job is to send ghosts permanently beyond the Veil. Cass isn’t sure about her new mission, but she does know the sinister Red Raven haunting the city doesn’t belong in her world. Cassidy’s powers will draw her into an epic fight that stretches through the worlds of the living and the dead in order to save herself.
