Upon the cliffs of a remote Scottish island, Lòn Haven, stands a lighthouse.

A lighthouse that has weathered more than storms.

Mysterious and terrible events have happened on this island. It started with a witch hunt. Now, centuries later, islanders are vanishing without explanation.

Coincidence? Or curse?

Liv Stay flees to the island with her three daughters, in search of a home. She doesn’t believe in witches, or dark omens, or hauntings. But within months, her daughter Luna will be the only one of them left.

Twenty years later, Luna is drawn back to the place her family vanished. As the last sister left, it’s up to her to find out the truth . . .

But what really happened at the lighthouse all those years ago?

Opinie krytyków

‘Right from the start, I was hooked on this eerie, cryptic novel’ Samantha Downing
‘This book is SO good! … Multiple narrators and time frames, family dynamics, siblings, witches; eerie but not scary. I mean, what is there not to love? This is C.J. Cooke’s best yet! A fascinating and enthralling read’ Nina Pottell, Prima
'A gripping modern gothic thriller that is also a haunting depiction of witch trials, it is a wonderfully atmospheric and compelling novel’ Rosamund Lupton
‘This ghost story is a perfect mix of propulsive plot and shivers-up-the-spine spookiness’ Good Housekeeping
‘An intricate story about women and witch trials but with a delightful timeslip element that really works. It’s a compelling story and very satisfying how the threads are woven together’ Kate Sawyer
‘With characters that feel like they live and breathe, an atmospheric setting and a plot that kept me guessing, all delivered in luminous prose, this is a flawless read. Underpinned by a story of the Scottish witch hunts, the themes remain starkly relevant today’ Elizabeth Lee

Spannend, herzerwärmend und creepy zugleich. Mal etwas anderes zu dem sonst eintönigen Fantasy Geschichten. Die Sprecher sind fantastisch! Einfach zu empfehlen.

The different narrators work so well together, I usually stay away from a book if the narration is split up, but this was perfect. I just wish I would know who spoke whom, because I absolutely love the narrator of Liv. I wasn't a huge fan of Joshua Manning, but I generally think that female narrators tend to be better, as they seem to be able to voice all genders and ages. The story is not what I expected from the summary, it was quite surprising, but very interesting. The end was a bit too quick and "happy". I think that the story is to complex to be wrapped up the way Cooke did it and found myself a bit disappointed. It felt too much, as if the author had lost interest and simply "made do". But the story was so rich, that I do not want to dock a star for the end.

Not at all what I thought it was!

On my quest for haunting stories I found this one and it was everything I wanted but also more. Now it’s not some story you can listen to while doing other stuff but I recommend sitting down with it and a nice tea.

I loved it
