The Book of Carraig is the second book in The Cross of Ciaran series by Andrea Matthews. As with the first book, it is a paranormal romance- with mystery, magic, romance, family, a serial killer, danger, secrets, angst, adventure, drama, suspense, and history.
As this book follows on from the events in Book One, so I highly recommend reading ‘The Cross Of Ciaran’ before embarking on this adventure. This story picks up a year after the developments in book one. Ciaran has returned to his homeland, Ireland- but it is not the home he once remembered. He is determined to ‘wake’ his brother, who has spent centuries in the same sleep state that Ciaran experienced. He hopes that The Book of Carraig has the answers he needs. He just has to locate it- easy, right?
Things do not go according to plan. Add a serial killer threatening the area- and the story gets interesting.
The story continues in ‘The Cave of Rúin Ársa’ (Book Three).

Thank you, Andrea Matthews!

The Book of Carraig by Andrea Matthews is a paranormal romance story and the second book in The Cross of Ciaran duo. Andrea’s stories are steeped in history and archaeology her two loves. I have visited Ireland and it was easy to picture it all as the story flowed around me. It is a time travel tale that makes this unique story an interesting read. There is a plethora of lies and danger and interesting facts and culture to immerse yourself in.

When the past becomes the present, it brings with it its own set of trouble. Is he prepared for what is to come and can he stop it before it goes too far?

This is the second book in this series which I enjoyed just as much as the first. I enjoyed how the characters pulled me into the story. This is a well written story about secrets, truth and finding one book that holds the answer. This is a great story that took me on an adventure like no other. It is an adventure that is full of action and finding a serial killer before it is too late. I enjoyed how the characters brought the story to life on each page. They are connectable and make the story engaging. This is a fun, entertaining story that was hard to put down. There are twists and turns that kept me turning pages just to see what happens next. I also enjoyed the growth of the plot and characters. I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.

The Book of Carraig (The Cross of Ciaran Book 2) by Andrea Matthews
Genre – Paranormal Romance
Almost a year after waking to find himself in twentieth-century New York, fifth-century Celt Ciarán Donnelly has finally returned to his childhood home, but Ireland is nothing like he remembers it. The realization is overwhelming and taking a toll on his relationship with archaeologist Caitlin O’Connell as well. Keeping his secret from her has been no easy task. Due to some quick thinking on the part of her Uncle Mike, however, Ciarán has managed to conceal the fact that he and the Celt that mysteriously disappeared from a local museum the previous year are one in the same.
Ciarán intends on keeping it that way, at least for the time being. Right now, there is another more pressing issue. He longs to locate the grave of his fifth-century wife. Her only crime was daring to love him, a guardian of the goddess, and for that he can never forgive himself. Even more urgent, he needs to figure out a way to wake his brother, Aodhán, and free him from the Dublin museum, where he continues to exist in the same centuries’ long sleep Ciarán had. At least, Ciarán hopes he does.
Of course, things never go according to plan. When a serial killer starts stalking the countryside, Ciarán may be the only one who can stop him. To do so, however, he’ll need to risk his own life, as well as that of his brother, thus revealing his secret and exposing the truth. But can he even defeat such a ruthless monster? Only the Book of Carraig hold the answer, but first, Ciarán needs to find it.
