The Lighthouse Witches by C.J. Cooke

5.0

“Memories, like stones, have their own gravity.” 

This book was amazing. The characters were perfection. I mean each of them was so perfectly flawed and haunted. I loved that it started off with the dark gothic vibe from the start. I have to say I really enjoyed the past/present timeline in the story. It was honestly fascinating the way the author used it to reveal pieces of information. It was also really cool to get the overarching witch story that played out in segments throughout. I would have loved more of that narrative just because it was fascinating.

It's hard to determine a piece of the story I loved most. I think that overall it was beautifully written. You feel for each of the characters and you start to think you've figured something out... only for the reveals to prove that you didn't have a clue what you were talking about. It had some seriously dark moments when I was on the edge of my seat about how things would play out. I have to say this is one of those stories that kept me invested from start to finish. I honestly didn't see the end coming and the magic in the story is beautifully subtle.
