Is that tale, told by the islanders, about witches and the witch hunt only hearsay or the truth? Some believe there exists a curse. Right up there on the cliffs where the old lighthouse stands, it all assumedly happened, exactly the place where Liv Stay is moving into with her family. Liv doesn’t care about all that witchy nonsense until one of her daughters disappears.
Once I overcame the confusing beginning, I could enjoy this gothic thriller to the fullest. The Lighthouse Witches is not my first book by this author, so I thought I would be accustomed to her creative interweaving of different timelines, reality, and magical realism. I was largely mistaken. That mix of magic and gothic kept me going; nothing could keep me from finding out what truly happened on that remote Scottish island.
