AlbakiReads Editorial

A Scottish loch, a locked cottage, and a dangerous inheritance

Iris Galloway’s inheritance comes with a year-long condition: she must live in her great-aunt’s cottage beside a remote Scottish loch. The arrangement draws her into a mystery shaped by local disappearances, warnings about a murderer, and her aunt’s instructions to keep salt lines in place and doors locked after sundown. A strange man who emerges from the water complicates those precautions. The description frames Bonetide as a gothic romance with horror elements, and notes that its opening mystery later shifts into darker territory. Its mix of folklore-inflected warnings, danger, and romantic tension gives the story a supernatural edge.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in dark gothic romance with horror elements
  • Readers who enjoy remote settings, local mysteries, and supernatural danger
  • Readers comfortable with a story that moves from a cozier opening toward darker material

Book overview

When Iris Galloway inherits her great-aunt's cottage on a remote Scottish loch, the terms are simple: live there one year, and it's hers.

She doesn't know about the disappearances yet, nor does she know about the handsome man who swims in the loch at night, who watches her cottage from the dark water, and who appears at her door very wet, very naked, and asking to come in.

Meanwhile, the locals warn her about a murderer on the loose, the police are in over their heads, and her aunt's letters say to keep the salt lines around the house and the doors locked after sundown.

And never, ever invite him inside.

But Iris has spent her whole life being careful.

And this wicked stranger is going to ruin her for it.
