4/5
Picked up this book and its sequel during a trip to the local bookshop as wanted an easier but spooky read for the season. Teenage seer Charlie Frith is pulled into a mystery involving the disappearance of ghosts from his home city of York. Teaming up with fellow seer Sam and some other friends, both alive and dead, they set out to solve the mystery.
- I really enjoyed the characters' personalities and how they grow and change over the course of the story. They are resilient and despite their own personal struggles they keep going.
- The setting is well done and well set up. I've been to York a few times and this book really captures the vibes of the city.
- I'm intrigued by the magic and spirit systems in this book. The author has taken pains to dip us into bits of it but also leave enough unknowns that I want to know more. I hope the next book goes into that more.
Spooky, enjoyable and well set. Perfect for October reading.
