Book Review

In Daylight by Caroline Flarity

Published August 13, 2024 by East Side Press

I loved the pacing of this book so much I nearly read it in one sitting. Mika's older sister, Naomi, walked out on the family years ago and never returned. Their father is convinced the FBI has been stalking and harassing them attempting to locate Naomi. When he claims he found her through a private investigator, Mika decides it's up to her to confront her sister and possibly even bring her home, but she is not prepared for what she discovers.

The Crane family is plagued with insomnia. Is it a genetic disorder or is something else at play? This book kept me guessing the entire time. Are there aliens involved or could there be a mental disorder affecting the family? Perhaps Mika is imagining it all? I love finding reads that are out of the norm and make me question everything.

There was strong character development, and the atmosphere gave off a bit of a creepy vibe. I was almost waiting for something to jump out of the trees. I would enjoy seeing this as a movie adaptation. The ending took me by complete surprise, and I would not have minded if this book were longer and delved even further. There is so much more to discover. Maybe there is room for a part two?

Thank you, Caroline Flarity, Netgalley, and East Side Press for the opportunity to read and review this book.
