Sawkill Girls by Claire Legrand

For generations, girls have mysteriously disappeared from Sawkill Rock. Locals whisper about the Collector, a demon rumored to haunt the jagged cliffs and dark woods of the island. Sawkill Girls is told from alternating perspectives of three complex heroines. Marion, new to the island with her mom and sister, hoping to escape the memories of her dead father. Zoey, a local girl determined to discover the truth about her missing best friend. And Val, the beautiful and popular girl with a horrific family secret. As the disappearances escalate, the gruesome myth of the Collector unravels and these three unlikely allies discover a power greater than fear. Their bond transforms this terrifying tale into a story of defiance and the empowerment of three girls who refuse to become prey. Legrand’s masterful nightmare is as horrifying as it is inspiring.
