About
In Daylight is a sci-fi psychological thriller offering a chilling and intimate take on a phenomenon of global—and cosmic—reach.
It was the reunion she longed for. Then she lost herself.
Mika’s sister Naomi delivered a terrifying and cryptic warning the day she severed ties with Mika and the entire Crane family.
Years later, Mika is plagued by a shapeless anxiety that culminates in a panic attack during a presentation. This career-ending debacle lands her back working the register at her family’s store in the Pine Barrens.
When her ailing father tracks Naomi down in New York City, Mika decides to confront her sister about the damage she left behind and unravel the mystery of her departure.
After a tense reunion, the two women reconnect—until Naomi shares the secret behind her disappearance, an otherworldly revelation that leaves Mika questioning her sister’s state of mind.
Determined to help Naomi, Mika follows her into an increasingly bizarre and shadowy world that threatens to shatter her own reality—a world she might never escape.
Praise for this book
As the story progresses, each chapter ratchets up the tension, making the panic and paranoia Mika experiences almost palpable. Flarity masterfully blurs the line between reality and imagination, leaving you constantly questioning whether Mika’s experiences are real or a product of her unraveling mind. By the time you reach the final chapter, you realize that the opening of the book in no way prepared you for the shocking conclusion.
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.
