ARC Review: A Box Full of Darkness

 I received a copy of this book from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This did not affect my opinion of the book or my review itself. 

Violet, Vale and Dodie Esmie lived in an eerie town. They haven’t been home in a long time. Most importantly, they had a little brother named Ben, who disappeared during a game of hide and seek years ago. 

But now Ben is calling them back, to find out the truth about him, their family, their home, and their town. 

This was a good book, though not my favorite of hers. The supernatural/paranormal element works well, as always in her books. But for some reason I found this instance a little far-fetched, just a little. It did work within the context of the book though. 

I really enjoyed the blossoming romances. They’re unexpected and I found myself rooting for their success. The mystery behind Ben’s disappearance is a compelling and surprising one, and the ending is very suspenseful and scary.

Though this wasn’t my favorite of St. James’ books, I did enjoy it and would recommend it.
