Book Description:
When Lou travels to Scotland, she's a mess. She is twenty-six, unemployed, and unsure of herself. It doesn't help that she's traveling with Tammy, her best friend, who is everything Lou is not.
At first, the trip pushes Lou towards the brink of depression, but then she meets Brian, a handsome local tour guide. When Brian tells the tourists about the countless witches burned in Scotland, Lou starts to listen. And when she discovers information about Isobel Key, one of the victims of the seventeenth century, Lou finds renewed purpose.
She sets out to learn the truth of the condemned witch, but she isn't prepared for the knowledge that waits for her. Lou must face her demons if she has any hope of righting the wrongs of the past.

I really love the cover and the title is pretty attention grabbing too. I enjoy books set in Scotland, but I don't think I've ever read one about witch burnings in 17th century Scotland. I think this would be something I'd enjoy. Does this go into much detail about the time period and Isobel Key or does it focus more on the romance between Lou and Brian?
ReplyDeleteIt has a lot of history in the book, but it's main focus is on the romance.
