I really loved the setting in this read. It was such a fun/and spooky and creepy read. It was such a nice balance of those elements. The new setting was def a new favorite and really focused on friendship on many different relationships. I also loved how the adults in this series role expanded in this series. I really loved all the elements in this story and what the villain was. It was super fast pace read!! I hope we get more books following these characters in the future. ( )

Bridge of Souls by Victoria Schwab aka V.E. Schwab is a delightful middle-grade ghost story and the third book in the City of Ghosts Series. It's perfect for fans of Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book.

Bridge of Souls takes place a short time after the events in Tunnel of Bones. Our main protagonist, twelve year old Cassidy Blake's parents host a TV show about the world's most haunted places. This time the Blake family heads to New Orleans to film the latest episode of their show. Like the first two books, the world-building in Bridge of Souls is very detailed and authentic. We get to visit several locations throughout New Orleans and learn the history (sordid and otherwise) of each. We also get to go on a culinary adventure as Cassidy tries all kinds of delicious food. I was immediately immersed in this world and could imagine myself walking through Jackson Square. We also get more character development (especially learning more about Laura).

What's the story about? Cassidy's parents are busy touring New Orleans in order to film the third episode of their paranormal investigation TV series, dragging Cassidy along. However, it’s not long before Cassidy, an in-betweener who has escaped death and as a result, can interact with the dead, catches the unwanted attention of an Emissary. This terrifying creature is unlike any spook Cassidy has ever dealt with; its job is to bring those who have defied death to the other side—those like 12-year-old Cassidy. In order to defeat the Emissary, Cassidy will lose something—or someone—no matter the path she chooses. Not knowing which road to follow is frightening, but the scariest thing of all is not knowing how this ends. Armed with her spirit-guiding pendant and accompanied by ghost Jacob Hale (whose foothold in the living world seems to be strengthening) and Scottish friend and fellow in-betweener Lara Chowdhury, Cassidy charges ahead.

This is another strong entry in a series offering thrills and chills. It's also a very charming series that expands the world of the series - giving readers more details about how the in-between/veil works.

Fans of the works of Neil Gaiman or the Harry Potter series will love this book. Make sure to read the first two first:

Book One: City of Ghosts

Book Two: Tunnel of Ghosts

Based on how this book ended, I am guessing that it is the last book in the series. I wish there were more books in this series, I would love to travel to even more haunted locations with Cass and her parents. ( )

I’m really hoping that there will be more books in this series one day! ( )
