About the Book

In a bewitchingly melancholy, thrillingly modern ghost story for readers of Eve Chase, Megan Shepherd, and Lisa Jewell, the new inhabitants of a centuries-old castle perched on a remote island in northwest Scotland must confront its tragic and terrifying history...

On a small island in a remote corner of northwest Scotland lies Maundrell castle, owned by its wealthy namesake family for centuries—until now. Edwina Nunn is shocked to learn a relative she never heard of has bequeathed the castle and its land to her. What awaits Edie and her teenage daughter, Neve, is even more startling, for the castle is home to a multitude of ghosts.

Yet there’s a strange beauty in the austere architecture and the eerie, bloody waters of Loch na Scáthanna, the Lake of Shadows. Beguiled by a frightened ghost who gazes longingly out of the castle’s windows, Edie and Neve are drawn to the legends shrouding the island and the mystery of the Maundrell Red—a priceless diamond that disappeared decades before.

Is the gem really cursed, and the cause of the family tragedies that have all occurred on Samhain—Scottish Halloween? As Samhain approaches once more, Edie and Neve race to peel back the dark secrets entwining the living and the dead—a twisted story of bitter cruelty and hidden love—or they will become another Maundrell tragedy trapped in the lonely hours . . .

Another Win from OUABC

Another spot on pick from OUABC.
I've been a subscriber for several years now and I love this company so much! A good variety of genres to get you out of your comfort zone, and the gifts are so fun! Lots of usable things that everyone can enjoy. Customer service is also great- if something goes wrong, they rectify it immediately.
I can't wait for my box to come every month and will be a long time subscriber!

3.5 rounded up. I do like the mods to the book from the original, though not a fan of the non-subtle branding on the spine. The gifts were miss, miss, and a hit. Luckily I love the large item and for me that helped cover the cost of this box. But the smaller items were meh.
