“Reader, hang on for dear life. Sawkill Girls is a wild, gorgeous, and rich coming-of-age story about complicity, female camaraderie, and power.” —Sarah Gailey, author of River of Teeth “An eerie, atmospheric assertion of female strength.” —Mindy McGinnis, author of The Female of the Species 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.

2 star story, upgraded to 3 because of the gorgeous writing style and how much I loved Zoey. Also, Grayson.
Disappointed that the rest of the book didn't live up to the intrigue of the beginning.
Also, I wasn't a huge fan of the audiobook narrator. But I couldn't bring myself to care enough to spend more time reading the ebook, so multitasking + audiobook is where we wound up.
Tips to writers out there: don't name an enemy “the rock”... I didn't imagine a demon entity thing, I imagined Dwayne the rock Johnson. very weird but made the story a bit better for me imo
went into this thinking it was one thing but it surprised me when it was not what I thought.... but I didn't like what the story was about. I didn't like the plot.
The characters made up for everything!! Val is the prettiest fictional character ever and just ughhh I wish she was real
