I would like to thank DartFrog Plus and the Netgalley website for allowing me to read this book.

We find Aubrey Cumming who goes to Scotland to escape a heartbreak in the United States. She will find the top an old family and maybe love. If she stays alive a long time to break the curse of the Comyn's.

A book read in one go so much I was hooked on the story so gripping, captivating, addictive, filled with suspense and twists with very endearing characters. I can't wait to discover the rest of the book because I love the author's writing so much.

I loved the development of some characters on this book, it was a very enjoyable reading, and I loved to learn a little part of Scottish.

The Comyn's Curse is a paranormal romance novel that takes the reader on a journey with Aubrey Cumming as she leaves the United States to travel to the Scottish Highlands. She's nursing a newly broken heart, after a break-up by text. The modern day story is complimented by sections of historical fiction with its own love story for the ages. The curse ties both times together, and it's up to Aubrey to try and break it.

Audrey was an easy character to like in the story. I felt for her as she dealt with the feelings of heartbreak as she is forced to cope with the break-up that she wasn't prepared for. Her excitement to explore a new place comes through clearly, and I think it's an emotion that we've all felt when going to a new place or embarking on an adventure. Her friends, Kate and Fitz, are great compliments to Audrey, and I loved the little references to Diana Gabaldon's Outlander scattered throughout the book by all three of them.

Overall, I enjoyed this book, the first in a series from M. MacKinnon. I thought there were times when the pacing was off, but it wasn't as distracting as it could have been. The settings were vivid, and I thought all of the characters were easy to picture in my mind. MacKinnon is able to immerse the reader into the beauty of the Scottish highlands.

Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the digital copy in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

This was too much of an Outlander fan fiction, with cringy references to Outlander, and a bit too much Gaelic to start with.

Aubrey finds herself at the bad end of a love triangle and flees to Scotland where she goes back in time and falls in love, and eventually entangles herself in another love triangle.

I'm sure this is a great read for people who like the Outlander vibe, but for me, I prefer my Outlander in Outlander. And I'm not such a fan of romance. This simply isn't the book for me.

I was given a copy of this book for a review from Net Galley, thanks. This book is written from two different times, past and now. Back in 1742 Ailith, the daughter of a man from clan Comyn discovers a plan to murder the clan of her lover, clan McKintosh. She informs her lover, so when the massacre starts, it is the Comyn's who are killed. Her father chases her to the top of a tower, where as she tries to go over the wall chops off both her hands with his sword and curses her. No McKintosh will find true love until a Comyn and McKintosh fall in love.
Aubrey has just been dumped by her finace in New Jersey...by a text, no less. A friend invites her to Scotland and she finds herself in the middle of trying to break the curse. Will she suceed? I have always been interested in the battles of Scotland and the author does a good job of describing what happened and also giving descriptions of various landmarks, castles and legends.

I am *so* glad I read this book. I am always nervous when I'm starting a new-to-me author but this book was cute and escapist in all my favorite ways. The heroine, Aubrey, has just been inelegantly dumped, when through a series of events, she decides to temporarily move to Scotland. Already, I'm in love. While there, she becomes part of a love triangle, ongoing political intrigue, and a crucial part of freeing the spirit inhabiting a nearby castle. As Aubrey's story unfolds, we also flash back to the life of the ghost centuries before. Aubrey is a descendant of the same clan and the supernatural begins to weave its way into her life. This is also a love story of Scotland. It is clear that the author is very familiar with the country (honestly, maybe lives there) and it was so wonderful reading her descriptions of the towns, history, and nature. There were a few plot points I still had questions about when I finished, but it was easy enough to glaze over those.

The novel goes into the Scottish Highlands history and is quite enjoyable. I enjoyed the descriptions of the land and the time periods. The characters were all well developed.

Comyn's Curse is a delightful book for summer reading. It's a story spanning centuries and oceans. I has a little bit of everything, longing, love, adventure and history all rolled into one book. What more could you want?
It's the story of a young women who has just come out of a bad relationship and is looking to find herself and maybe a true love. It starts in New Jersey and when the young lady moves to Scotland to find her ancestors, interesting things start to take place.
I loved the Scottish culture that runs through the book.

When I saw that there was a new book set in Scotland with paranormal aspects I just had to read it! I absolutely love reading books set in Scotland and M MacKinnon does a spectacular job transporting you right to the highlands! You can definitely feel and sense the love the author has for the country, landscape and it's people.

M MacKinnon does a fantastic job of weaving so many different genre's into a single book that I'm positive absolutely anyone could find something to love about this book. History, romance, mystery, travel, humor, suspense, GHOSTS! and that previously mentioned gorgeous scenery. The story was easy to follow and even easier to loose yourself in, you'll find that you've finished the book way ahead of schedule as you'll just want to keep going to see comes next. I honestly could have done without the romance aspect but it doesn't detract from the book either.

I highly enjoyed reading this book, both the main story and those fantastic bits where the author seamless weaves in Scottish history and folklore, I'll be purchasing the next two books as well!

I received a copy of this book to review from Netgalley. Thank you for the opportunity.
This book is a welcome break from reality with its story of an old curse befalling a family in Scotland. It is clear that the author has great fondness for the country and it shows throughout the book. The book has something for everyone in it: romance, humor and suspense.
This book would be great for any fans of Outlander and Downton Abbey, references of both are found throughout the book. Showing self awareness with many funny quips this book aligns itself with Outlander without the commonly seen issue of being too much like it.
The writing is good and engaging. The pace quite rapid. The snippets from different sources adds intrigue to the story but can be quite confusing and difficult to follow at times, particularly in the beginning.
The characters are interesting and quirky with the MC being quite likable leading to a book that is a page turner.
I would recommend this book to read, you won't regret it!

A chillingly haunting novel!

I absolutely could not put it down till the end. M Mackakinnon created a beautiful fuse of romance, history and the paranormal. It just makes you fall in line be with Scotland.

A truly beautiful book.
