Review: NetGalley
They left the island, but the island never left them.
Four years after the Keating family endured the darkest experiences of their lives, the children are still fighting to move on. Charlie's anxiety has control of his life. Angela is afraid of the dark. Brian suffers from a drug addiction. Chrissy struggles to remember what happened to them, the details forever haunting the outskirts of her mind.
But when new information comes to light about what they had witnessed, they make a plan to escape their problems once and for all.
Sometimes, the only way to confront your demons is to face them head on, so the Keating siblings decide to go back to the island and call their monsters out of the darkness. They soon realize the terror awaiting is much more than they bargained for.
On a Clear Day, You Can See Block Island is a coming of age horror novel about grief, PTSD, and how some horrors never end.

This was interesting. What happens when a monster truly comes to life? The Keating family literally has PTSD from the death of their sibling. Each person from the Keating family deals with it in their own unhealthy way. It's sad to see, but it happens. What happened wasn't normal. There are nightmares, and their life is literally turned upside down. Nothing is what it seems. When the siblings head back to Block Island, they uncover far more than they expect, and what comes out in the fog doesn't want to go in. The story was creepy, and I wanted a deeper backstory into the creatures that inhibited Block Island. Overall, it's a decent read that makes you wonder what could be hidden beneath our noses. I can't give much away as the story hits off right from the beginning, and the pace keeps going.
