The Blackhouse by Carole Johnstone
Did not finish book. Stopped at 56%.
2.0
DNF @ 60% but I also read the last 15% so i don't know
This author's previous book was like a trainwreck you couldn't look away from, just absolutely wild, so perhaps I went into reading this with the wrong expectations.... This is more like an Audrey Niffenegger style sappy tragic lightly paranormal romance than the thriller mystery it sounds like.
As others have said, the best part of this book is the atmosphere. I love the setting of the Hebrides and the author nailed that. Otherwise, the plot is very loose and slow while the characters aren't rich enough to pull you through.
