City of Ghosts – Victoria Schwab
In Victoria Schwab’s forthcoming City of Ghosts, readers follow a young girl whose parents hunt ghosts for a living. Coining themselves “The Inspectres,” they drag Cassidy on all of their spirit finding adventures with them. The catch? Unlike the two of them, she actually can see ghosts. And she even manages to befriend one.
When Cassidy and her family travel to Edinburgh to star in a television show, her new friend, Jacob, tags along. But in this incredibly haunted city, Cassidy soon discovers that not all ghosts are quite as amicable as Jacob is.
When Cassidy meets another girl capable of spotting the dead, she’s told she must send all ghosts back to whatever realm they came from — permanently. As she’s met spirits that are both kind and cruel, this inevitably leads to some conflict for Cassidy. But there’s one ghost that definitely needs to be sent away, and of course, that’s the one haunting Edinburgh.
Available on August 28, 2018, City of Ghosts is merely the first of Schwab’s anticipated releases for the year. In October, her long-awaited sequel to Vicious, dubbed Vengeful, will also hit shelves. You know you want to dive into City of Ghosts while you wait.
