Cass can pull back the Veil that separates the living from the dead.
When Cass's parents start hosting a TV show about the world's most haunted places, the family heads off to Edinburgh. Here, graveyards, castles and secret passageways teem with restless phantoms.
But when Cass meets a girl who shares her "gift", she realizes how much she still has to learn about the Veil - and herself. And she'll have to learn fast. The city of ghosts is more dangerous than she ever imagined.


"Mom likes to say I was born with one foot in winter and the other in spring. That's why I cant's sit still, and why (according to her) I'm always searching for trouble -because I don't belong to one place." - Cassidy Blake

The first thing I'm gonna say: awesome. I really love this book, it's the first Victoria's story I read but it will definitely not my last. 
Cassidy Blake lives in New York, she's twelve yearse old and she can see, listen and comunicate with ghosts. Her best friend, Jacob, is one of them. She can also pass through the Veil, but sometimes it can be hard to get out. She loves to take photos, so she take some when she crosses the Veil.
*I love how Schwab writes, it's almost like poetry, maybe it's just simple words but it feels good and they reaches your heart.*
It was right after the accident that she met Jacob and found out she can crosses the Veil a year ago.
Cassidy wants to go to the beach this summer, like every summer, but her parents knock those plans down and tell her about this TV show about the most haunted places they are going to do all over the world that starts the week they suppossed to be at the beach. So they took a plane to Edinburgh, Scotland to start filming it.
There, Cassidy met Lara, another girl like her, she can passes the Veil too, but she can also do others things that Cassidy doesn't know about.
The story starts to complicate when Cassidy visits the Greyfriars Kirk and a woman the locals call The Raven in Red appears. And when Cass get caught by her she is going to need the help from Jacob and Lara to set her free.
*The book read is fast and maybe it's a child story but it's very entertaining. I really truly recommend this one if you want to start reading Victoria, cause it's awesome.*
