Loved this book. It felt like being on an edge - I wasn’t sure which way the story would twist. Is it Sci-fi, earth magic, spiritual, or is this woman losing her mind?

Also, I wish I knew what happened to the community (not spoiling this for anyone ;) )! There isn’t a major cliffhanger, but I did enjoy the Scottish village in so that it would be fun to learn their perspectives of the events and aftermath.

Hot damn

I heard the author on a podcast and was intrigued by the brief mention of the book. Turns out, this is just everything I love in a story - folklore, horror, mysterious Scottish island. I couldn’t put it down.
