Upon the cliffs of a remote Scottish island, Lòn Haven, stands a lighthouse.
A lighthouse that 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?

I loved the author's last book The Nesting and couldn't wait to read The Lighthouse Witches. I knew I was going to love the book after only reading a few pages. The book is so well written and engaging I couldn't stop reading and had to know what happened in the next chapter and the next one and the one after that and so on and so forth. The book is a perfect blend of fantasy and contemporary fiction with some mystery and a little horror thrown in. The jaw-dropping moment comes when Luna goes to be reunited with her sister Clover and the bottom falls out of her world. This is the kind of book you read that leaves you with more questions than answers. I loved it so much.
