About the author
Katy Walters
67 books157 followersI live with hubby on the South Coast of England. I often write in the beach hut gaining inspiration by walking along the beach with Lily my golden retriever.
I draw on my work and past studies for the books. They form the core of the novels. I am so glad I can now write full time.
I have a B.A. Hons in Psychology that included Artificial Intelligence, another B.A. Hons in Eng. Lit and Creative Writing. My M.A. was in Religion and Mysticism; I also have a Hon.Dr.Sc. concentrating on Pain control and Complementary Healing methods.
These subjects enrich the thrillers and paranormal novels that I am writing.

Let me start by saying that I have enjoyed this book and am just starting book 2, Possessed At Rhonan. But I do also have reservations about this book that I am hoping will be resolved in the next book.
This book reminds me of a Gothic romance and the detail of the book draws heavily upon that. The description of the Scottish Clearances, during the year 1810, is certainly good enough to draw you in and relive the horror of that time. I loved the interplay between Muriall and Duncan, as you learn more about what life was like during those times, especially for women. However, the part I have trouble with is actually the "modern" part. It seemed quite disjointed and the emotions, while heartfelt, seemed to have no build up or consistency. Jessie and Douglas meet; BAM, they're in love; WHAM, they're out of love; BANG, they're back together again. Like I said, I am just about to start the second book, where I'm hoping the pace will even out a bit.
A good book with an interesting story.
