But will that battle destroy her as well?
The Scottish Witch continues that story of the Chattan
Curse.. Harry Chattan want to save
his brother, Neal, who is doomed if the curse is not lifted. And the Curse. If any Chattan falls in love it will
cause their death. Harry does not
have much time. He has come
to Scotland hoping to find a witch who can lift the curse.
Portia Maclean needs money to support her family. Harry is offering money to any witch. Portia has found a book of curses. For the money Harry is offering she can
use the book and be a witch.
That is the set up and the story moves from there. You also have a lovesick sister, a
meddling mother, a jealous woman and the plot thickens. Of course Harry falls in love with
Portia and the curse kicks in. This is a great series. The characters are well drawn, the plot
interesting and the tension just keeps increasing.
This is the middle book so the curse is not lifted. It is up to the last Chattan, Margaret,
to find the cure to the curse.
That happens in the yet to be released next book. There is a teaser for book three in the
back of the Scottish Witch.
Harper Collins published The Scottish Witch by Cathy Maxwell
in 2012.
I received an ARC of The Scottish Witch from Edelweiss.
