Definitely more firmly in the fantasy/horror genre than mystery a fun and well constructed story. I wish the author had spent more time on working out some of the harder to swallow details. I'm perfectly willing to acceot the supernatural basis for the story, which I won't reveal here, but that the police would release a lost child to someone in the way featured in the book is harder to swallow than witchcraft and ghosts etc. Explain it waay as some weird computer glitch or a fire where the recordws were kept or something. That is just nitpicking though, overall some enjoyable characterizations, uncomfortable but perhaps realistic family dynamics and a cautionary tale for teenage girls , the scariest thing in the book is the teen boyfriend , in my opinion geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"Two sisters go missing on a remote Scottish island. Twenty years later, one is found-but she's still the same age as when she disappeared. The secrets of witches have reached across the centuries in this chilling Gothic thriller from the author of the acclaimed The Nesting. When single mother Liv is commissioned to paint a mural in a 100-year-old lighthouse on a remote Scottish island, it's an opportunity to start over with her three daughters-Luna, Sapphire, and Clover. When two of her daughters go missing, she's frantic. She learns that the cave beneath the lighthouse was once a prison for women accused of witchcraft. The locals warn her about wildlings, supernatural beings who mimic human children, created by witches for revenge. Liv is told wildlings are dangerous and must be killed. Twenty-two years later, Luna has been searching for her missing sisters and mother. When she receives a call about her youngest sister, Clover, she's initially ecstatic. Clover is the sister she remembers-except she's still seven years old, the age she was when she vanished. Luna is worried Clover is a wildling. Luna has few memories of her time on the island, but she'll have to return to find the truth of what happened to her family. But she doesn't realize just how much the truth will change her"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
