Review: Highland Supernatural Love Story
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 06 7, 2012
There is something very special about ghost stories set in Scotland; it just seems to be THE perfect setting and as usual, Linda Gillard has crafted a fine story with the elements of supernatural, mystery, and romance including loves lost and found.  Ruth Travers is at a major crossroad where she has some serious life choices to make after a year of much emotional upheaval and to further complicate or make things interesting, she comes into contact with 3 very interesting men.  It's a nice change to have a heroine who has some miles on her and does not spend most of the book making youthful blunders that the heroines do in a much of paranormal literature. The ghost element adds interest and poignancy to the story and speaks to the transcendent nature of love across time and eternity.As with Linda's other books, the reader gets a good story as well as an education; in this case, music, the life of a soldier in World War 1, Victorian houses on the Isle of Skye and gardening in such a talented way interwoven into the story so that it does not distract, but rather enhances and enriches the characters and their relationships.Even readers who are not generally paranormal fans will enjoy this story because the quality of the writing makes it a very worthy read.
