The Lighthouse Witches by C.J. Cooke
Did not finish book. Stopped at 30%.
I need to DNF this book because it's giving me the rage to the point where my notes are chocka with the F word and exclamation points!
The writer is Irish but has clearly never set foot in Scotland or even seen a map!
If you're going to set a book on an island don't pick the one bit of coast where there aren't any! The Black Isle isn't an island and the ferry from Cromarty goes to Nigg which also isn't an island. Is this lighthouse on an oil rig??
Also, why is this man randomly sailing to Shetland? It would take days!
Also, a grimoire is not a diary!
The hills of the Highlands are not Emerald. Nor is the fucking North Sea! Has this woman ever even seen a picture of Scotland????
The kid from Glasgow had never seen fucking trees before? The city famous for its greenery???? Also, the kid from York is surprised by the existence of rain! It's always raining in York. It's not like she's moved from California.
This is my anger level after less than 100 pages. I haven't even started on the missing person part where they don't seem to have kept any records of dates apart from the kids date of birth and we can just say "oh no that's wrong, give me this child who doesn't recognise me". Excellent job police and social workers!
Aaaaaagh!
