FIVE STARRED REVIEWS

NAMED ONE OF YALSA’S 2019 BEST FICTION FOR YOUNG ADULTS

A BRAM STOKER AWARD NOMINEE

From the New York Times bestselling author of Furyborn comes a breathtaking and spine-tingling novel about three teenage girls who face off against an insidious monster that preys upon young women. Perfect for fans of Victoria Schwab and Stranger Things.

Who are the Sawkill Girls?

Marion: The newbie. Awkward and plain, steady and dependable. Weighed down by tragedy and hungry for love she’s sure she’ll never find.

Zoey: The pariah. Luckless and lonely, hurting but hiding it. Aching with grief and dreaming of vanished girls. Maybe she’s broken—or maybe everyone else is.

Val: The queen bee. Gorgeous and privileged, ruthless and regal. Words like silk and eyes like knives; a heart made of secrets and a mouth full of lies.

Their stories come together on the island of Sawkill Rock, where gleaming horses graze in rolling pastures and cold waves crash against black cliffs. Where kids whisper the legend of an insidious monster at parties and around campfires. Where girls have been disappearing for decades, stolen away by a ravenous evil no one has dared to fight…until now.

A very empowering divine feminine story!!!

The narrator was great! Made me want to create a powerful girl group and go dancing around an open field. Loved the themes of masculine and feminine energy and the jabs at patriarchy. The romantic sub plots in the book were fantastic but didn't take over the whole story which I also loved!

Lauren Ezzo is amazing

I bought this mainly for Lauren Ezzo, I love her as a voice actress and her narration is just top tier. But the story itself is intriguing and beautifully done.

Strange Little Book

This book wasn't bad, but wasn't great. the narrator did a good job but the story was just a bit weird. I'm not sure I loved the ending, but we chose it for book club.

Love it!

Great story!
