A world she might never escape. ~ ~ Flarity's latest blend of psychological suspense and speculative science fiction invites readers to solve a tantalizing riddle. After her promising career collapses when she has a panic attack during a major presentation, Mika Crane finds herself working midnight shifts at her family's 24-hour convenience store in the New Jersey Pine Barrens. When her father reveals he has discovered the location of her sister Naomi, who left the family nearly two decades earlier, Mika travels to New York to find her, hoping to restore their formerly close relationship and heal family wounds. When Mika reunites with Naomi, she discovers that it is not family dysfunction that drove her away, but rather Naomi's desire to protect them from the aliens that abducted and tormented her. Though Mika initially rejects her sister's wild claims, the addictive twists and turns of the plot force her to consider if there have been otherworldly forces at work in her and her family's lives. When disaster strikes, she must decide if she is willing to open her mind to new possibilities—and new realities. Though Flarity's esoteric approach to the alien genre may challenge some readers, the relatable characters and their visceral relationships keep the story grounded. Far from a generic tale of little green men, this story's intelligent exploration of identity, family bonds, and generational trauma infuses empathy into the extraterrestrial. - Publishers Weekly/BookLife Editor's Pick Caroline Flarity grew up in Africa, Hong Kong, and the United States.
