It's so creepy and twisty -- I LOVED it. Guessing my way through a book, never quite sure what's going to happen, just makes me happy (even though it is a very depressing book) :} And, I had the exact same thought about McMahon -- her books have a similar feel to this one.

I couldn't. <br /><br />But, it was not an easy read. One has to work-almost, reading this book. You simply *have* to finish it, to find out how the tale unravels. Have to! But for me, the path was not an easy one, in the least.<br /><br />Aside from the story, the setting is supposed to give enjoyment. Yes, the misty wildness did. But, even with my 1/4 Scottish blood, it was not beautiful, to me. <br /><br />A must read book!
