Product Description
In the harsh Scottish highlands of 1565, superstition and treachery threaten a truce between rival clans. It's a weak truce at first, bound only by an arranged engagement between Anne MacGregor and Niall Campbell-the heirs of the feuding families. While Niall wrestles with his suspicions about a traitor in his clan, Anne's actions do not go unnoticed. And as accusations of witchcraft abound, the strong and sometimes callous Campbell heir must fight for Anne's safety among disconcerted clan members. Meanwhile his own safety in threatened with the ever-present threat of someone who wants him dead. Will Niall discover the traitor's identity in time? Can Anne find a way to fit into her new surroundings? Will the two learn to love each other despite the conflict? With a perfect mix of a burgeoning romance and thrilling suspense, this book is historical fiction at its best.

 Excellent! January 10, 2008
I first was introduced to the author Kathleen Morgan when I read her series "The Brides of Culdee Creek". They were wonderful so that drew me to try her Highland Hill series. I was a little skeptical because of the setting being in the 1500's and in Scotland. I didn't know if I could get into the setting and the dialect. But I was pleasently surprised. I loved the books and by the time I finished I had fallen in love with the Highlands and their culture. My dauther-in-law is just now starting this series and she can hardly put it down. The characters are extrememly interesting and the story plots are good. I highly reccommed all three books in the series. I would give this five stars !
Child of the Mist November 14, 2007
Kathleen Morgan is a wonderful story teller. She has created characters who are genuine and struggle with life issues that we all face. She has placed this story in the highlands of Scotland. One of my favorite places in the world. It is an exciting and thrilling story. At times, I couldn't put it down. I love the fact that God isn't just mentioned in the book. He is present in the lives of her characters. He is alive and at work.
 Good but not Great September 19, 2007
While this series is not unenjoyable it isn't a "can't put it down" one either.
I loved this book, I read it in three days and couldn't put it down. May 6, 2007
CHILD OF THE MIST was a well-written romantic story that brought Christian values into the mix. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to reeding her others.
 Dull and Predictable at Best March 14, 2007
Morgan hooks the reader early on in her story telling. I was excited and anticipated not only the rest of the book but also the rest of the series. However, by trying to cultivate some sort of romance between the main characters, Morgan's story quickly became predictable and dull, at best. I forced myself to finish the novel in order to properly critique it and finishing the story felt like work, instead of enjoyment. I ended up reselling the book at a used book store. Save your money and time- get something else.
