Upon the cliffs of a remote Scottish island, Lòn Haven, stands a lighthouse.
A lighthouse that has weathered more than storms.
Mysterious and terrible events have happened on this island. It started with a witch hunt. Now, centuries later, islanders are vanishing without explanation.
Coincidence? Or curse?
Liv Stay flees to the island with her three daughters, in search of a home. She doesn’t believe in witches, or dark omens, or hauntings. But within months, her daughter Luna will be the only one of them left.
Twenty years later, Luna is drawn back to the place her family vanished. As the last sister left, it’s up to her to find out the truth . . .
But what really happened at the lighthouse all those years ago?

Custance to spare her family the humiliation they fear.

Everyone has wanted their favorite book to be real, if only for a moment. Everyone has wished to meet their favorite characters, if only for a day. But be careful in that wish, for even a history laid in ink can be repaid in flesh and blood, and reality is far deadlier than fiction...especially on Addington Isle.

True crime writer Wylie Lark doesn’t mind being snowed in at the isolated farmhouse where she’s retreated to write her new book. A cozy fire, complete silence. It would be perfect, if not for the fact that decades earlier, at this very house, two people were murdered in cold blood and a girl disappeared without a trace.

Story
The tellers of Greek myths—historically men—have routinely sidelined the female characters. When they do take a larger role, women are often portrayed as monstrous, vengeful or just plain evil—like Pandora, the woman of eternal scorn and damnation whose curiosity is tasked with causing all the world’s suffering and wickedness when she opened that forbidden box. But, as Natalie Haynes reveals, in ancient Greek myths there was no box. It was a jar . . . which is far more likely to tip over.

Sophia’s husband Cornelis, an ageing merchant, is among those grown rich from this exotic new flower. To celebrate, he commissions a talented young artist to paint him with his young bride. But as the portrait grows, so does the passion between Sophia and the painter; and as ambitions, desires and dreams breed an intricate deception, their reckless gamble propels their lives towards a thrilling and tragic conclusion.

As an expert in relationship-evasion and the host of the popular student radio show Brown Sugar, she’s made it her mission to make sure the women of the African-Caribbean Society at Whitewell University do not fall into the mess of “situationships”, players, and heartbreak. But when the Queen of the Unbothered kisses Malakai Korede, the guy she just publicly denounced as “The Wastemen of Whitewell,” in front of every Blackwellian on campus, she finds her show on the brink.

What the critics say
‘Right from the start, I was hooked on this eerie, cryptic novel’ Samantha Downing

‘This ghost story is a perfect mix of propulsive plot and shivers-up-the-spine spookiness’ Good Housekeeping

amazing from start to finish
C.J. Cooke has pulled together different timeliness and different POVs and woven through the central story with grace and precision. The characters were amazing. Cooke expertly hides an important lesson in the unfolding of this tale. It's suspenseful, eery, full of little twists and both heart-wrencjing and heart-warming. Another C.J. Cooke novel is already cued up.

I was enthralled!
This was an absolutely fantastic listen. The performances absolutely incredible and each narrator bringing their chapters to life for me. With sooth and caning voices but still keeping my attention locked in.
With each chapter I grew more and more attached to each of the characters, always holding out hope for them to have a happy ending. I loved how small and intimate this book felt. Although I can see for some that this book may be light on dark magic, witchcraft or any intense dark themes of the occult. I was throughly impressed and left in suspense always excited to get to the next chapter and see where the story took me. I would easily suggest this book to anyone looking for a book that keeps you entertained and keeps its aura of suspense without ever feeling too overwhelming.
I loved it!

Captivating
A unique twist on classic folklore, rich with mystery and magic. It was easy to get immersed in the characters, and the author brilliant frames multiple POVs to allow a fuller story. If you like witchcraft that's both modern and historical, this is a great book to invest your time in.
