All in all, instead of a delicately brewed cup of tea, debuting author Karen Marie Moning serves up a overly-strong stew made up of every item in her writer’s pantry. Beyond the Highland Mist could have been a good read, but instead is mired by too many torturous episodes, plot devices used by other authors in better books, and is also filled with enough purple prose to color the evening sky to indigo. ![]()
