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. (Book Jacket)

I love this world but didn't enjoy this book as much as the first one. The conflict wasn't as interesting or at least not as developed but seemed more akin to a classic ghost story than the first book. I realise that this was written for children rather than a middle-aged adult like me but I felt Schwab dumbed down Cassidy too much. She's 12 and in modern times, not an infant. A pre-teen in 2019 is going to know basically what a crepe is. I also worry that her parents aren't really providing any sort of education since she knew absolutely nothing about Paris and some of the things she wondered about seemed... worrying. Still, these are fun books and I love ghost stories. I would love a book focusing on Jacob or his backstory since we still don't know anything about it besides he drowned and he's not willing to share with Cassidy.
better than any horror movie ive seen this year but also really light hearted and fun :))
This book was just as good as the first in the series, and a great quick read during the Halloween season! Having visited the Catacombs in Paris, this was especially spooky as I could remember the cold and damp and creepiness of the space. If you are looking for a spooky page-turner, this is a great choice!
