Many thanks to NetGalley and Berkeley Publishing for gifting me a digital ARC of this wonderfully creepy book - perfect for reading during this spooky season. 5 stars!
In 1998, Liv brings her three daughters with her to a remote Scotland island for a commission to paint a mural on the inside of an abandoned lighthouse. She discovers the lighthouse was the site of a hidden prison for witches in the 1600s. There are also legends of wildlings - creatures created by witches to replicate children. When two of Liv’s children disappear, she is frantic. In present time, one of the daughters gets a call that her younger missing sister has been found - but she hasn’t aged since he disappeared.
This book was the best mix of history, creepy atmosphere, suspense and fantasy - it all wrapped up in the best of ways as well. The timelines and different POVs weren’t confusing, they were each compelling. This book was hard to put down until you see how it all turned out!
