BOOK BLURB

Strange things happen in Fell, New York. A mysterious drowning at the town’s roadside motel. The unexplained death of a young girl whose body is left by the railroad tracks. For the Esmie siblings—Violet, Vail, and Dodie—the final straw was the shocking disappearance of their little brother. It started as a normal game of hide-and-seek. The three closed their eyes and counted to ten while Ben went to hide. But this time, they never found their brother—he was gone and the ongoing search efforts turned up no clues.

As their parents grew increasingly distant, Violet, Vail, and Dodie were each haunted by visions and frightening events that made them leave town and never look back. Violet still sees dead people—spirits who remind her of Sister, the menacing presence that terrorized her for years.

And now after two decades running from their past, it’s time for a homecoming. Because Ben is back, and he’s ready to lead them to the answers they’ve longed for and long feared. If the ghosts of Fell don’t get to them first.

MY REVIEW

Three siblings return home after being summoned by the ghost of their brother, who went missing 15 years earlier.

A Box Full of Dreams is told from the three returning siblings points of view. Violet, the oldest, sees ghosts. Vail, the middle child, believes he is targeted by aliens. Dodie, the youngest, has a recurring nightmare. Their brother went missing as a child, and the mystery was never solved. The siblings have had traumatic lives, and return home looking for answers.

Family drama and paranormal mystery. A Box Full of Dreams is slow-burning and atmospheric.

I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
