Historia
Ever since Cass almost drowned (okay, she did drown, but she doesn't like to think about it), she can pull back the Veil that separates the living from the dead...and enter the world of spirits. Her best friend is even a ghost. So things are already pretty strange. But they're about to get much stranger. When Cass's parents start hosting a TV show about the world's most haunted places, the family heads off to Edinburgh, Scotland. Here, graveyards, castles, and secret passageways teem with restless phantoms. And then Cass meets a girl who shares her "gift"....

Historia
Kate Harker and August Flynn are the heirs to a divided city - a city where the violence has begun to breed actual monsters. All Kate wants is to be as ruthless as her father, who lets the monsters roam free and makes the humans pay for his protection. All August wants is to be human, as good-hearted as his own father, to play a bigger role in protecting the innocent - but he's one of the monsters. One who can steal a soul with a simple strain of music.

Once, there were four worlds, nestled like pages in a book, each pulsing with fantastical power and connected by a single city: London. Until the magic grew too fast and forced the worlds to seal the doors between them in a desperate gamble to protect their own. The few magicians who could still open the doors grew more rare as time passed and now, only three Antari are known in recent memory—Kell Maresh of Red London, Delilah Bard of Grey London, and Holland Vosijk, of White London.

It's been 297 days since David died - and came back. He may have survived the avalanche, but the aftermath has been far worse. His wife moved out, taking his son with her, and a devastated David hasn't left his house since, terrified of the mysterious new power that followed him home from the ill-fated expedition. After months in seclusion, David's ready for a fresh start, and ventures out, determined to keep his power in check. But David's power isn't the one he needs to worry about.

Worn out after decades of packing steel and raising hell, Viv, the orc barbarian, cashes out of the warrior’s life with one final score. A forgotten legend, a fabled artifact, and an unreasonable amount of hope lead her to the streets of Thune, where she plans to open the first coffee shop the city has ever seen. However, her dreams of a fresh start filling mugs instead of swinging swords are hardly a sure bet. Old frenemies and Thune’s shady underbelly may just upset her plans. To build something that will last, Viv will need some new partners, and a different kind of resolve.

Out on the Yorkshire Moors lives a secret line of people for whom books are food, and who retain all of a book's content after eating it. To them, spy novels are a peppery snack; romance novels are sweet and delicious. Eating a map can help them remember destinations, and children, when they misbehave, are forced to eat dry, musty pages from dictionaries.

Resumen del Editor
"The Near Witch" is only an old story told to frighten children.
If the wind calls at night, you must not listen. The wind is lonely and always looking for company.
There are no strangers in the town of Near.
These are the truths that Lexi has heard all her life.
But when an actual stranger, a boy who seems to fade like smoke, appears outside her home on the moor at night, she knows that at least one of these sayings is no longer true.
The next night, the children of Near start disappearing from their beds, and the mysterious boy falls under suspicion.
As the hunt for the children intensifies, so does Lexi's need to know about the witch that just might be more than a bedtime story, about the wind that seems to speak through the walls at night, and about the history of this nameless boy.
Part fairy tale, part love story, Victoria Schwab's debut novel is entirely original yet achingly familiar: a song you heard long ago, a whisper carried by the wind, and a dream you won't soon forget.
This new edition of The Near Witch also included the in-universe short story "The Ash-Born Boy" and a never-before-seen introduction from V. E. Schwab.

Exiled from her home, the enclosed city of Reverie, Aria knows her chances of surviving in the outer wasteland - known as The Death Shop - are slim. If the cannibals don’t get her, the violent, electrified energy storms will. She’s been taught that the very air she breathes can kill her. Then Aria meets an Outsider named Perry.

Historia
After escaping a harsh school where punishment was the lesson of the day, 17-year-old Louisa Ditton is thrilled to find employment as a maid at a boardinghouse. But soon after her arrival at Coldthistle House, Louisa begins to realize that the house's mysterious owner, Mr. Morningside, is providing much more than lodging for his guests. Far from a place of rest, the house is a place of judgment, and Mr. Morningside and his unusual staff are meant to execute their own justice on those who are past being saved.

Er zijn drie dingen die de veertienjarige Olivia nooit heeft gehad: een vader, een moeder en een stem. Als ze kon praten, zou ze het vooral willen hebben over de familie die ze nooit heeft gehad, en hoe 'anders' ze zich voelt dan de andere meisjes in het weeshuis. Maar zelfs mét een stem zou Olivia zwijgen over de schimmen en wezens die alleen zij kan zien.

Excellent story, poor narration
The book was fantastic. I loved the characters and the plot. The pacing was perfect and the setting immersive. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy the narrator. Her delivery was oddly flat, emotionless. I did rather like her accent, which was lovely, but did not enjoy the robotic way in which she spoke.

I loved how dark and eerie this managed to be
I loved how dark and eerie this managed to be for a YA Fantasy. I promise it’s not (IMO) too much. The world-building and characters were really good. Nothing overly descriptive, but still interesting. I loved Lexi. I loved the Brothers Grimm vibes. I love most witchy books that I read and I love everything I’ve read from VE Schwab.
This isn’t a heavy read. It could definitely be a knock-it-out-in-one-sitting situation. I’d recommend it to YA readers for sure.

This is technically VE's debut book that was removed from shelves after publication years ago. They re-released it and I enjoyed every minute of it. Especially the ending!!

Wonderful story.
A intriguing story like " The Giver" by Lois Lowry.
If you are looking for a novel all about romance you will be disappointed but
if you would enjoy a witchy story, then I recommend it.

Terrible narration ruins good story.
Imagine Emily Blunt doing a William Shatner impression for any entire book. V.E. Schwab is great but this was a struggle to finish, because of the narrator. I will have to read this one when I want to revisit it. It was a good story.

Beautifully written, but terrible narrator.
I love everything that VE Schwab has written and this book was no exception. Wonderful story, but the narrator almost ruined it. Her tone is flat and her cadence is so repetitive that it was annoying and distracting.

Great story! Annoying narration.
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Great story line and plot with interesting and well developed characters. I nearly gave up on it because of the bad narration but stuck it out because the story was so good. The narrator had this weird habit or manner of over expressing every 4th or 5th word, or at the end of the sentence. It was very disturbing.

If Neil Gaiman had reimagined The Witch of Blackbird Pond...
If Neil Gaiman had reimagined The Witch of Blackbird Pond, it might look something like this. A simple but dark fairytale gorgeously written, with the usual fare of a spunky heroine, a mysterious stranger, small minded villagers, a sweet love story, etc, but all of that is wrapped in the gorgeous and atmospheric moorland that surrounds the village. The moor, like the wind and other elements here, is a character as well as a setting, and the source of the heroine’s strength and the village’s folklore. It’s also what really sets this story apart and the reason I’ll be going back to read it again.
The narrator had a gorgeous voice and accent but a strangely repetitive cadence to her reading that was grating and annoying. I thought about returning the audiobook for that reason but have decided to keep it. When you listen to larger swathes of the story, you can to an extent tune out the strange rhythm of her reading.
