Synopsis:
Where there are ghosts, Cassidy Blake follows... unless it's the other way around?

Cass thinks she might have this ghost-hunting thing down. After all, she and her ghost best friend, Jacob, have survived two haunted cities while traveling for her parents' TV show. 

But nothing can prepare Cass for New Orleans, which wears all of its hauntings on its sleeve. In a city of ghost tours and tombs, raucous music and all kinds of magic, Cass could get lost in all the colorful, grisly local legends. And the city's biggest surprise is a foe Cass never expected to face; a servant of Death itself. 

Cass takes on her most dangerous challenge yet...


My Thoughts:

I waited sooooo long for this! 
It was meant to come out in Oct of 2020 but was postponed til March 2021 and since it was my birthday present, I had to wait half a year for it to arrive. I didn't get a chance to read it that October so a lot of my enthusiasm waned. 
Bummer, yes, but it was still worth the read two years later. 

Cassidy Blake's best friend is a ghost named Jacob and her parents host a ghost-hunting television show that takes them all over the world to visit famously haunted locations. They've been to Edinburgh, Scotland and the catacombs of Paris, France and are set to film in New Orleans, Louisiana where hauntings and dark magic are abundant. 


I love the settings and history in this spooky middle-grade trilogy. New Orleans was a great finale choice, especially with the heinous history of Madame LaLaurie (though it is mostly just touched upon) and the added celebrations and hints of voodoo. It makes me want to visit even more! 

I won't give any more away but I really enjoyed this trilogy overall! This finale didn't have as much bang as the first two, but it had some suspense and spook and I liked how it ended!
