Summary
Enter the swirling mists of an enchanted land, and open your heart to the mystery....
Carlie has the perfect life. A wonderful family and a best friend she adores. A house by the beach so she can go surfing after school. A clever, rational mind and big dreams of becoming a lawyer. A future she's excited about and can't wait to begin.
But in a split second her perfect life shatters, and she is sent to the other side of the world to live with a stranger. In this mystical, mist-drenched new land, she is faced with a mystery that will make her question everything she's ever known about her parents, her life and her very self. A dark secret that made her mother run away from home as a teenager. An old family friend who is not what he seems. A woman in blue who she's not convinced is real. A shadowy black cat that she'd swear is reading her mind. A deserted old cottage she can't always find. And a circle of wild-haired witches who want her to join their ranks.
Will she have the courage to journey into the mists, and into her own heart, to discover the truth? And can she somehow weave together a life that she'll want to live - or will she give up and allow despair to sweep her away from the world forever?

Emotional journey from grief to self discovery
Following the tragic death of her parents in a car accident, 17 year old Carlie has to leave her life in Australia and go to live with the grandmother she has never met in England. Carlie assumes that her mother never got a long with her grandmother which is why she suddenly upped and left home when she was Carlie’s age. Initially Carlie, in her grief, is hostile towards her grandmother. Gradually over time however, Carlie uncovers the truth behind her mothers decision to leave when she is given the opportunity to glimpse into the past..
Into the Mist is the first instalment of the Into the Mists trilogy and was my first introduction to the author. The plot focuses on a teen girl trying to come to terms with the immense loss of both her parents, who is suddenly uprooted to the other side of the world. One moonlit night, Carlie is able to step into the past and catch a glimpse of her mother’s life - a life that once was and could have been, if not for a fateful decision made by a desperate woman. By understanding her mother’s reasons for leaving, Carlie and her grandmother are able to emerge into a life of acceptance, forgiveness and healing as well as the courage to move on.
The author has done an admirable job in depicting an otherworldly feel when describing the English landscape. I felt as though I was there with Carlie, experiencing the extraordinary sights, smells and sounds. The woman in blue was particularly intriguing. My only criticism is that the book was a tad long winded and repetitive at times. Having said that, I was impressed by her knowledge of the mechanics of magic, card reading and paganism.
Carlie’s journey from a girl suffering from survivors guilt, bitterness and self loathing to someone who through love and healing tries to rise up from her pain and loss, was a revelation. I feel that the author has laid the groundwork with her characters and offered us a brief tantalising insight into a magical world that she has merely touched upon. I look forward to exploring what she has in mind for Carlie in the next instalment.
I received an advanced free audible copy of Into the Mists which was narrated by Gabrielle Baker. I was impressed by the way she was masterfully able to bring each character to life with their own unique voice, switching effortlessly between characters and accents.

Survival story
This story is a story of survival. One of grief and lost. There is death, and domestic violence in it. There is no course language. Spiritual belief, new friendship and relationships. and love.
Narrated by: Gabrielle Baker the story draws you into the story.
Bringing the characters to live, with how she portrays them.
I found myself pull into the story wondering that happen.
I was given this book for a honest review.
