Everyone who lives on the remote island of Manus off the west coast of Ireland has heard the tale of Molly a young, tormented girl who threw herself to her death off the Westside Cliffs after witnessing her fiancé being executed on the eve of their wedding, for a crime he did not commit.
Since that day, the townsfolk know to lock their doors at night and say their prayers in earnest for fear that the Banshee Bride will appear and drag their souls to Hell. Victims of the apparition are found the following day, with their faces stretched into a mask of pure terror.
No one knows how the Banshee Bride is summoned, but one thing they do know... once she has been called, she cannot return to hell without a soul.
I won't spoil this, but the synopsis drew me in, but the very first page hooked me...
Mark has the innate ability to make you connect with his characters, feel for them, grow alongside them, and then mourn their loss.
I have not stayed up all night to finish a book in a while, but knew I had to for this. So glad I saw he had a new book out, it's one of the best investments I've made in a while.
Ghost Song or The Banshee Bride?
Hard to choose a favourite...I'll be greedy and take both.
Take a bow Mr L'Estrange (again) thank you for sharing your gift - you truly are amazing!!!
