Needless to say, The Bass Rock is an emotionally heavy book. However, Wyld maintains reader interest by switching between each of her vivid, flawed characters. There is so much more to this novel beyond the violence. There's evocative descriptions of the Scottish coast, complicated family dynamics, paranormal activity, claustrophobic small town encounters... Wyld writes so beautifully that you can't look away. While reading, I found myself vacillating between feeling frustrated, hopeful, disappointed, unsurprised, and deeply depressed. If you decide to read this too, please be sure to take care of yourself.

I had to reflect on this one for a while after finishing it. It's not an easy read. Tough issues (check any trigger warnings before reading) and it took me a while to get into the rhythm of it. It felt like I was just settling in when it was over. I would read more about Maggie though.
