Thanks to HarperCollins for the audiobook ARC of this book. It has not affected my honest review.

THE LIGHTHOUSE WITCHES by C.J. Cooke is a thrilling page-turner steeped in gothic atmosphere. Set on a remote Scottish island, the setting of this book was a perfect backdrop for the unnerving story that unfolded throughout the book. There are three timelines threaded together throughout the book, which I did initially find confusing in the audiobook, however they came together in a very satisfying way once I'd finally worked out what was going on. I found the ending of this book incredibly bittersweet and emotional, and I couldn't have predicted where it was going to end. Every single theory I had throughout the story was absolutely wrong.

I found myself feeling genuinely on edge at several points throughout the book, and with storming winds outside I felt like I was following closely along with the characters as they tried to uncover the hidden history of the island. I loved Luna best, which meant I wasn't *super* invested in all the other POVs, but they were a really powerful way of telling each part of the story - and let me start furiously piecing together what was really going on in the book.
