If you have ever wondered what it would be like to watch someone burn at a stake, this book will leave you experiencing it in barbaric clarity. The detail about the witch hunts the author shares left the emotions running off the pages. The Lighthouse Witches had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. Now, twenty-six weeks pregnant, she unexpectedly finds herself back on Lòn Haven and the secrets of the past come spilling out one after the other. Luna cannot remember everything that happened on Lòn Haven, yet she knows the answers she seeks are hidden there. But she has never given up hope and continues to search for them. She has not seen her mother or her two sisters since. Twenty years ago, Luna Stay was left in the forest by her mother. I have never wished to visit Scotland more than after reading this book. The author managed to bring the island of Lòn Haven alive with scenic detail. The inclusion of passages from Peter Roberts Grimoire, sharing his story, made this book even more intriguing. I loved how the book jumps between timelines from chapter to chapter, unravelling the story from various characters perspectives. This Gothic thriller had me holding my breath in anticipation of what was to come. She writes a fascinating story that leaves you eager to race through the pages to see what is coming next. This was my first encounter with CJ Cooke and I am hooked. Set on a breathtakingly beautiful Scottish island, The Lighthouse Witches is guaranteed to keep you reading from start to finish. A Lighthouse, witches, spells and curses, but if that does not have you intrigued this book highlights historic injustices against women.
