Review of 'On the Edge of Darkness'

On the Edge of Darkness by Barbara Erskine

Adam Craig as a young man comes across an ancient carved celtic stone in Scotland which inadvertantly gives him the ability to travel back in time. There is meets and falls in love with a beautiful celtic sorcerous (in training), Brid. He visits time and time again then moves away to Edinburugh for University only to discover his lost love is now not even stopping at murder to have him all to herself. Her obsession lasts well into when Adam is a grandfather – having lost most of his family to Brid – when his granddaughter takes an interest in this 50 year-old saga. An interesting, if not a bit far-fetched, story that drags in places but is generally quite readable.

Rating: “A bit better than average”
