I received a copy of The Storm and the Darkness from the author for an honest review.

Firstly, I have not read the first book in this series (St Charles at Dusk) and it is not necessaryto have read it, however I will go and read it at a later date

Anasofiya (Ana Deschanel) has never been able to make a connection with anyone, and after making some questionble personal decisions in her life, she ups and moves away from her family in New Orleans to the house she inherited on Casco Bay in Maine.

Island life is not what she imagined, the natives don't take well to newcomers moving in, and they do not treat her the best, however being a loner this does not worry her as much as she thought.

Strange locals, storms that close the island off for weeks at a time, intrigue and mystery, this book has it all.

Ms Cradit has written this very well, and the story kept me interested the whole way through.

I look forward to reading more of her work.
