The Visitors by Simon Sylvester

4.0

I really enjoyed this book, and it was so nearly a 5*. I just can't quite give it the 5 because the tone was a little confusing, at places especially beginning it reads quite like a young adult book but in other areas especially towards the ending the themes are quite intense.

Having said that its an excellent read and very unique. I loved the Scottish mythology wrapped up with a coming of age tale and the dual crime plot. Sense of place was amazing, I felt completely transported into a new world with these characters.

Recommend to anyone who likes traditional mysteries and/or folklore.
