 Finished: The Moon Sister (Riley) Book 5 of the Seven Sisters Series! Six sisters gather at their childhood home to mourn the loss of their very wealthy father, who adopted them all as babies from different parts of the world, and named them all for the Seven Sisters constellation. The fifth sister, twenty-six year old Taygete D'Apliese (or Tiggy as she was called), is the sister who is kind and very spiritually attuned with nature. She has a great love for animals, and believes that people do become spirits after they die. Tiggy is working at a deer rescue program in the Highlands of Scotland when her father dies. She rushes home, like the other sisters, and is also given her letter from Pa Salt, and the coordinates for where she was born. Tiggy doesn't feel an instant need to go and discover her roots, though. She's already got another job lined up on an estate in Scotland whose owner, Charlie, has dreams of turning his beautiful Scottish land and woods into an animal sanctuary. Tiggy's first duty is to bring some Scottish wildcats to the estate and get them acclimated to their new home. From Charlie's jealous (horrendous) wife, to his impetuous teenage daughter, to a visitor at the estate who won't take no for an answer when he becomes smitten with Tiggy, there are many drawbacks and stresses to her job. On the plus side, she meets Chilly, an old man who can take one look at her and tell her what is going to happen in her life, and what's more...tells her that he's been waiting for her because he promised Angelina he would bring her back to her home. She also sees a beautiful, rare white stag in the forest who she develops a connection with. However, the stresses and the insistent, rich visitor become too much for her. When Chilly tells her the story of her grandmother, the famous flamingo dancer in Spain, Tiggy is floored by the details that Chilly knows which match Pa Salt's letter. She decides to head to Granada, Spain to find out more about her family. Of course, then we are taken back to the early 1900's when the dirt poor Lucia, Tiggy's grandmother, starts flamenco dancing brilliantly at a young age. We are then thrown into the story of her and her family and her own fascinating life, the good and the bad, before as always, coming back to Tiggy in the present day and how all the people she has met recently come to be a part of her life. (Except the stalker visitor lol) It's another good book in the series!! :-)
