  I've always been fascinated with the story of Glencoe and this book did not disappoint. Set against the eerie mountain backdrop the story captivates from Chapter one, with Anna and her two young sons bringing a lot of laughs on their journey to their holiday cottage. The cottage is built on the ruins of the cottage that once belonged to Kirstin and Rab MacDonald who were victims of the Glencoe massacre. Anna starts to dream, reliving the night Kirstin escaped with her young baby son into the snow being chased by the Campbell soldiers. In the meantime, her young son James keeps talking to a ghost he calls Cory, who turns out to be Corrag the Witch, the woman who tried to warn the MacDonald's about the betrayal.
  
  Anna meets Callum who is having his own problems with an ex-girlfriend who is hell-bent on ruining his life and after spying on Anna, his girlfriend becomes possessed with the spirit of Kirstin who is searching for her son. Kirstin believes that James is her boy and puts his life in serious danger.
  
  The story is fast-paced and exciting, delving back in time to the story of Corrag the Witch and the Glencoe massacre. I highly recommend this book, apart from the great storyline it also brings to life the history and magical legends of Glencoe, from Ossian's cave to the Great White Stag. I was sorry when it ended.

  Excellent story....moves between a modern day Glencoe & late 1690's Scotland around 50 years before the Jacobite rebellion. Starts a little slow, but once Corrie/Corrag the witch is introduced it moves right along. I enjoyed very much, would make a great story for a TV movie.....Blind Harry
