It's been years since I read any of this authors books. I have the first 3 in the Sevenwaters series so catching up with that series will be a goal for this year. 
 Heart's Blood was a great tale of love and redemption with a back drop of a spooky haunted forest and ghost like spectral presences. I liked the personal journey of the main character and the twist with the research Catrin carried out at the house. Nice tidy ending with just the right amount of sentimentality. I will admit to crying at one point at the end. All in all, good summer holiday read from one of my favourite fantasy writers.
