The mystery itself had me hooked and I only understood it when the story wanted to.
It blends multiple character perspectives really well and overall is well paced.
The characters themselves feel human, especially those that make mistakes and grow from it.

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.

This book was right up my alley and perfect for an October read. I loved the story and thought the author did an excellent job weaving in Scottish history and folklore throughout the story. I loved the supernatural aspects behind the story and I loved the ending.
This was my first introduction to CJ Cooke’s work and it was a 5/5 star read for me!
I did listen to the audiobook and the narrators did a wonderful job.
