"Utterly spellbinding.... Witchcraft meets thriller." (Pop Sugar)

Two sisters go missing on a remote Scottish island. Twenty years later, one is found - but she's still the same age as when she disappeared. The secrets of witches have reached across the centuries in this chilling Gothic thriller from the author of the acclaimed The Nesting.

When single mother Liv is commissioned to paint a mural in a 100-year-old lighthouse on a remote Scottish island, it's an opportunity to start over with her three daughters - Luna, Sapphire, and Clover. When two of her daughters go missing, she's frantic. She learns that the cave beneath the lighthouse was once a prison for women accused of witchcraft. The locals warn her about wildlings, supernatural beings who mimic human children, created by witches for revenge. Liv is told wildlings are dangerous and must be killed.

Twenty-two years later, Luna has been searching for her missing sisters and mother. When she receives a call about her youngest sister, Clover, she's initially ecstatic. Clover is the sister she remembers - except she's still seven years old, the age she was when she vanished. Luna is worried Clover is a wildling. Luna has few memories of her time on the island, but she'll have to return to find the truth of what happened to her family. But she doesn't realize just how much the truth will change her.

Couldn’t stop listening

One of the best books I’ve listened to in awhile. I could not stop listening.

More Please :)

This is my 1st C. J. Cooke novel. I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I really loved the melding of mystery, fantasy & fiction. When I came close to the end I stopped to take a break because I was not ready for it to be over. The narrator also did a lovely job. I will check out this authors other novels. I hope to find the other books just as good.

Such fantastic writing!

I absolutely love the story line and the twist and turns the book takes. I read every day, so I go through hundreds of books each year. This one is definitely on my top ten for this year.

Good read with twist…

You may think you know but you don’t. This has many plot twist so I was very surprised at the ending.

okay...good enough story

Alot of different characters and different periods of time...hard to keep up at times. Has a really good twist tho!

One of my favorite stories now!

I loved this story. It was thrilling suspenseful and kept me engaged the whole time!

Fantastic!

This book was fantastic! The voices were perfect. I found myself listening every chance I had.

Wonderful story

The author really drew me into the story. I ended up finishing it in one day with a lot of sleep deprivation the next day. It was well worth it! I’m going to check out the rest of her novels as this one was so good. If you love a little mystery and magic and enjoy a good family relationship story, I think you’ll love this book.

Spellbinding!

This was so unusual and gripping. The narrators were fantastic and I was entirely captured from start to finish. Absolutely loved it!!

Witches, Scotland, Time Travel

The narration of this book made the book even better. I loved all the voices that were so convincing.
Although the title makes you think it is all about witches, it is so much more. You immediately love the characters.
The book begins with the burning of witches in the late 1600's and the curse they put on the Isle.
There are 3 different time periods that are taking place that are easily followed.
I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in a gothic tale with a definite twist.
