About the Books
Victoria Schwab's City of Ghosts trilogy centers on Cassidy Blake, a girl who can see and speak with the dead after a near-drowning incident left her with one foot in the spirit world. Her constant companion is Jacob, the ghost who saved her life and sticks close as her loyal, wisecracking friend. When Cass's parents launch a television show exploring the world's most haunted cities, the family's travels become the backbone of the series, taking Cass from the graveyards of Edinburgh to the catacombs of Paris and the shadowy streets of New Orleans. In each city, Cass uses her unusual gift to solve mysteries rooted in local ghost lore while managing the ordinary challenges of being a kid on the road with her family. The books balance genuinely eerie scares with warmth and humor, and Cass's relationship with Jacob provides an emotional anchor as stakes rise from book to book. Themes of family, friendship, trust, and self-discovery run throughout, making the series more than just a string of spooky set pieces built for cheap scares. Each installment introduces new supporting characters and city-specific folklore, deepening the world without losing the emotional core that makes Cass easy to root for. Together, the three books trace Cass's growth into someone who trusts her instincts and her friends when the danger is real.
