The Book of Carraig

Book of Carraig

Trigger warnings. This book mentions rape.

Book of Carriag is the follow up to The Cross of Ciaran. While I haven't read the first book, the story included information throughout the story piecing together what readers may have missed. It can be read as a standalone.

The story focuses on Ciaran Donnelly, who is a fifth-century Celt. He is on an archaeologist dig with Caitlin, who he has formed a relationship with. On this dig the team discovers other Celts from his time, his brother and late wife, as well as artifacts. His brother comes to life as Ciaran did and together they defeat someone from their past.

The book of Carriag didn't play a crucial role in the story. The scenes mentioning Ciaran's search for the book felt short and uneventful. Even when he finds the book, more important events take over the story and the book is briefly mentioned after. I would have liked the quest for the book to be a bigger part of the story and for there to be mention of what it contained. Again, all that was brief.

This book wasn't for me personally. However, the writer did a great job with the story. The writing was good, the story had a natural flow and the characters were well developed.

Thank you Andrea Matthews and Love Books Tour for the opportunity to read and review.
