So scary and Rossel is so brave to pursue the murderer despite the likely consequences for him and those he cares for. As Cass travels the world with her TV host parents, they visit some of the world’s most haunted places - Edinburgh, Paris, New Orleans - and Cass is immersed in the City of Ghosts and all its dangers.

This debut novel is gripping, becomes a real page turner and is orchestrated to a satisfyingly blood curdling finale. So why only four stars well whilst music plays a significant part of the story, and I am afraid quite a lot of the in depth musical explanations went straight over my head and bored me. So we pile into the cab, two parents, one kid, a ghost, and a ticked-off cat, and we head for the airport. Now serving as a Lieutenant, he is investigating a gruesome, macabre scene of five bodies laid on train tracks running parallel to each other. The dialogue and every interaction from the story are so reliable for those times, they all were so wary about everything and everyone as you couldn’t trust anyone, you didn’t know if a family member or friend was your ally or your enemies.

Honestly, though, for some weird reason, I thought this was a story about a girl that can see ghosts (true) and her best friend, a ghost cat (totally not true).

But when Cass meets a girl who shares her "gift " , she realizes how much she still has to learn about the Veil — and herself. This said I really liked Cassidy as a character and I adored and loved her close friendship with Jacob. Letztes Jahr las ich den Thriller „Black Sun“ aus dem Bastei Lübbe Verlag, der identisch wie dieser Thriller in Russland in der Nachkriegszeit spielt.

Thriller, deren Handlung in der Nachkriegszeit spielen, haben meiner Meinung nach schon was Einzigartiges an sich. I could almost feel the cold breath of a ghost of two or something out of the corner of my eye as I was reading it.
