Far From Over

Rate this book
Inspired by the true events of the 1659 witch trials in Dumfries, Scotland.

The truth has finally been uncovered. Setting the dead free may cost the living everything.

Anna knows who haunts Nuns’ Kirk Haugh Hotel.
Now she must discover why they refuse to leave.

The ghosts of the innocent victims of Dumfries' infamous witch trials have waited centuries for justice, but two restless spirits are determined to ensure the past can never be forgiven, and their version of events alone survives. As Anna, Gary, Cameron, and her psychic Aunt Rita unravel the final threads connecting the living to the dead, long-buried betrayals begin to surface—and not all of them belong in the seventeenth century.

Anna’s fresh start finally seems within reach, yet Cameron is carrying secrets of his own, and the past has one last chance to destroy everything they’re building together. To free the trapped souls of Nuns’ Kirk Haugh, Anna must uncover the whole truth about her family’s connection to the witch trials—but some legacies refuse to stay buried.

Blending authentic Scottish history, family secrets, the supernatural and slow-burn romance, Far From Over brings Anna's story to a powerful and deeply satisfying conclusion.

A beautifully written, exceptionally well researched novel based on the Scottish witch trials. There are a lot of characters, and it can be confusing at times as so many names were used time and time again in 1600’s and of course, the author used the names of real women of the time who were wrongly accused and murdered.

The main characters in the book are so multidimensional that I never struggled to ‘see’ the individual and the cross over with modern times and modern issues was a really clever way of telling the story.

I’m a huge fan of this author and was thrilled when this second part to The Unquiet Stairs was released.

2nd book in series. Fantastic story, historical events overlapping with modern events giving two stories in one but never became confused, really well written and easy to read and follow. Would definitely recommend.

Unputdownable. From the very beginning.

Wonderfully drawn characters interspersed with a horrifying history of 17th century Scotland.
Two worlds woven into one in masterful strokes. Just brilliant!
