About this listen
When Maeve O’Brien’s boss sends her to a dreary old island to finalise some paperwork, she couldn’t be happier. It’s the career boost she needs to become a fully fledged lawyer - besides, it hasn’t been so great on the home front in Dublin. Maeve’s oldest friend and flatmate has kicked her out, and moving back in with her uptight mother has been less than cosy. But her reception on Hy Brasil, a remote island off the west coast of Ireland, couldn’t be any more hostile - it’s as if the island itself wants her gone. The locals are all ancient - and spookily well preserved - and they’re all so nasty. And what is that terrible screaming noise that echoes around the island?
But no island is going to scare Maeve off, even if she does miss her credit card and her make-up and bright, shiny nightclubs and the one-night stands. She’s determined to track down Sean Fitzpatrick, the elusive islander whose signature on Maeve’s paperwork is going to transform the island and open it up to the world.
And then, somehow, life begins to change. The island might be miserable and treacherous, but it’s also beautiful and strangely seductive. Maeve’s never felt better. And there’s also Killian, the dreamy teacher who stirs up all kinds of unexpected feelings in Maeve.
But something’s brewing, and Maeve is going to discover just how far people will go to protect the ones they love.

The main character is so unlikable
And the ending is super abrupt. Felt very shallow and failed to be the spooky love story I was hoping for.

Brilliant characters well read
Very much enjoyed the characters, plot and reading of this story.
Combines a bit of mystery, humour and some poking at current society.

great listen
The narrator had me laughing out loud in parts. Easy to follow, I became immersed in the story thanks in a large part to the narrator.

Delightful
This is my second book by this author and I've loved them both. I love the clash between modern life and Irish folklore. The reader is delightful.

Struggled and didn't finish
The main character is so vapid and unlikeable that I just couldn't push through. Even the "mystery" wasn't enough to keep me on the hook.
I called it quits after chapter 10.

Terrible ending
I loved it, but it whisked you along and then just ends abruptly! I’m not a writer but after putting in all that work you would expect a better ending.

enjoyed very much
I have thoroughly enjoyed this book - the second book written by the same author and narrated by the same performer.
Fantasy/supernatural themed fiction doesn't usually appeal to me, but it's only a subtle presence in this book and quite sweet. The accent of the narrator combined with the story was completely immersive for me.

A never ending ride
A small and closed island community. An immature and selfish young woman who thinks she will easily conquer this backward small town. People and life are not giving to her and she has time to self reflect. Fear. Love. Greed. Regret. Fun and never knowing really what lays beneath it all until the reveal. It had me hooked and I was spat out at the end. I liked the narrative. Kate Rawson reads well and makes it easy listening.
