Reviews

PRAISE FOR C.J. COOKE

Chilling and beautifully written, THE BOOK OF WITCHING gripped me from the very first sentence: I read it in one sitting. A haunting recreation of a real Scottish witch trial, this is CJ Cooke's finest novel yet Emilia Hart on The Book of Witching

Rich, chilling and gorgeously gothic. A Haunting in the Arctic is the kind of enchanting, terrifying mystery I just adore Chris Whitaker

Mesmerising and terrifying, this is a powerful story lovingly told with characters that remain with me. Highly recommended Lisa Ballantyne

Evocative and chilling, an addictive piece of polar gothic Anna Bailey

A Haunting in the Arctic is a story of a woman haunted in every way. An eerie, atmospheric novel that is full of tension and suspense, this is a beautiful gothic chiller of a book Elizabeth Lee
