Fergus is the 33rd ghost to leave Culloden Moor for a brief taste of mortality. The wee witch has told him he must do one heroic act to move on to what comes next, and he is prepared to do just that, anything to end the tediously unending life he now endures as a ghost.

He has two days at the most, but he can’t find any heroic deed which needs performing, anyone who needs rescuing. Time is running out, and he doesn’t know what to do.

Casey Cole brings her sister, Sarah, to Scotland to mend the growing rift between them. Although Casey is ill and delaying treatment, she cannot break her promise to Sarah.

Two sad souls meet on the moor of Culloden, but Fergus can’t see what is just in front of him, and Casey has no idea that she needs help.

*FERGUS is #33 in the series.
If you are new to the series, first read the short set up, THE GATHERING, to avoid confusion. Don't forget to come back and review them all, and follow The Ghosts of Culloden Moor on Facebook.

I absolutely love this series, cleverly written by various authors. This particular book did not cut it for me, sorry to say.

This is book 33 in the series. You will want to read the first short story, The Gathering, for the background information on the Muir witch before you start the rest of the series. After that, each one can be read as a standalone.

Quick read, but not one of my favorites. Ferguson is sweet , but I just couldn’t connect with him. Did not like the fact that the sister was so cold and rude. One more Culloden 👻 ghostie with his HEA though.

Love this series. Just long enough for a lazy afternoon. Each ghost has his own story and it's like reading a fairy tail , which in reality, it is. The best part ..all have a happy ending!

Once in a while it's good to just lose yourself in make believe. Can't wait for the next one to arrive!

Great story

This was a rollercoaster of emotions for me. No I have not experienced cancer, yet, but I have suffered depression from several life threatening maladies over the past few years. In a strange way I found this storyline cathartic. Through my tears I found joy in knowing there is always hope.

Continuing saga

Although these books do not need to be read in order after the first book, The Gathering, I always like to read a series from beginning to end. In this tale, Fergus is tasked with completing a noble deed, just like his comrades who have gone before. These stories are a sweet taste of Scotland that merges the pastnwith the preent.

Fergus A Highlanders from the Mists of Time Book 33

Fergus has to do a brave act within two days of being mortal. He fell in love with a girl with cancer and wanted to save her. He would give up all to save her. She would give up all to save him from being a ghost. Love conquers all. This author Bess MaBride has it so they can stay together.

Scottish dreams

Another enjoyable book in this wonderful series! When you first start reading them it’s kind of intimidating because of the number of books. But when you do start reading them you just can’t get enough. More, more, more!

Editing

A quick fun read with poor editing, at one point it went from third person to first person. A shame as the editor should have noted that
