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.

My thoughts about the book:
Usually, I don't find middle grade to be my thing. This series however have a pull on my I can't explain. I love Schwabs writing style, in all her books. And this is not an exception.
This series have such a wonderful bled of cozy and creepy and it makes it the perfect fall read.
But the thing I think I love the most about this book is the central part the friendship between Jacob and Cassidy take. It is very fresh to see a story that doesn't revolve around romantic feelings. Those two has each others backs all the way.
And on top of all that, for the once how already read City Of Ghosts and loved that. We get to know how Jacob died. It was heartbreaking and just...just be prepared for feels.
Not just for that part. For the whole book.
It truly is a masterpiece .
Stay safe and read happily! // A Home In Pages
