About this book
Three teen girls face off against an insidious monster that preys upon young women in this YA dark fantasy novel from a New York Times–bestselling author. Named one of YALSA’s Best Fiction Books for Young AdultsA Bram Stoker Award NomineeA Lambda Literary Award Nominee 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 cunning creature 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. “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 Spread Me “An eerie, atmospheric assertion of female strength.” —Mindy McGinnis, author of How Girls Are Made
