Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with this ARC!
The Daughters of Block Island is a horror novel following two sisters who were strangers from birth. This book was so good! Lots of things in this are very relevant to your classic horror novel but with some twists! The setting of the book being on Block Island, RI in the middle of winter gives it the perfect eerie feel and the characters seem so typical of islanders in the middle of winter. While this book seemed predictable in the beginning, I was extremely surprised with the ending. The last 35% of this book, I flew through. Christa Carmen does a great job connecting every single dot in the story and leaves everything well answered (and there was quite a lot going on in this book)! Written very well and I loved the added tidbits from all the horror classics that were mentioned in this book. A little clunky in some places and a bit repetitive but other than that, this book was great!
