Narration In Pursuance Of Books Sawkill Girls
Beware of the woods and the dark, dank deep. He’ll follow you home, and he won’t let you sleep. Who are the Sawkill Girls? Marion: the new girl. 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.List Appertaining To Books Sawkill Girls

Wow. The fact that lights didn't start flickering ominously and the trees weren't shaking and clattering in the wind and gusty voices weren't rattling off the walls and grating my ears while I was reading this book is supremely upsetting and not at all excellent if you ask me... So, whats this book about? Marion Althouse arrives in the small town of Sawkill Rock with her mother and sister, Charlotte, hoping that the move would lessen the ache of their loss, now that they have to make do withThis book was so creepy and I loved it so much! Listening to it was such a great choice for me.RTC.
DNF @ 50%I just couldnt do it. I would like it to be known that I tried so hard with this book. But the writing style is just SO BAD (for me)?????? These days.[sad sigh]...I cant get into the superfluous, kinda forced writing style. When the narrator has met the scientific limit™ for YA aesthetic, pile-of-adjectives, pretentiousness? Its hard for me to feel immersed.I think that maybe I should provide an example: Vals fretful heart mewed inside the cage of her ribs like a hungry kitten. WHAT!

Enjoyed the creepiness, the quick pacing, the girl power, and the individual girls. Got a little weird at the end.Audio: To be fair, the narrator's solo performance deserves 5 stars. She carried it all on her own, doing creepy voices when needed. But I couldn't help thinking the entire time that this book truly deserved the production treatment that And the Trees Crept In's audiobook was given - sounds, music, and actual voice distortion - because this story had a similar tone. So while it was
♦ Video Review ♦This is such a strange little book and I had a hard time getting into it. I almost DNFed it, not because I thought it was bad but because I felt it wouldn't be for me. And the setting and storyline really wasn't for me.But at its core this story is about feminism, female friendship, and love and it made me super emotional. Girls hunger. And we're taught, from the moment our brains can take it, that there isn't enough food for us all. Let's talk about diversity!Val is queer
