The setting is quite ominous, and we feel something is off but the plot twist is hard to guess.
The characters have enough background to be interesting and the story is well written.
Some typically Scottish words were sometimes hard for me (I am not a native english speaker), but it was interesting to learn things😉
I did not rate this book with 5 stars because in my opinion some parts of the plot remains blurry. Also at times, some characters are acting in a not so logical way and I found it annoying.
But other than that I fell in love with this book and probably will read it again in the future.

At the being it was a little confusing with all the points of views. I had to go back and look at the heading of the sections do see who was speaking.
