Book Overview

Two sisters raised in fear are about to find out why in a chilling novel of psychological suspense from the author of The Thinnest Air.

Ignorant of civilization and cautioned against its evils, nineteen-year-old Wren and her two sisters, Sage and Evie, were raised in off-the-grid isolation in a primitive cabin in upstate New York. When the youngest grows gravely ill, their mother leaves with the child to get help from a nearby town. And they never return.

As months pass, hope vanishes. Supplies are low. Livestock are dying. A brutal winter is bearing down. Then comes the stranger. He claims to be looking for the girls' mother, and he's not leaving without them.

To escape, Wren and her sister must break the rule they've grown up with: never go beyond the forest.

Past the thicket of dread, they come upon a house on the other side of the pines. This is where Wren and Sage must confront something more chilling than the unknowable. They'll discover what's been hidden from them, what they're running from, and the secrets that have left them in the dark their entire lives.

THE STILLWATER GIRLS by Minka Kent Wren, Sage and Evie have been raised off the grid by their mother in a cabin deep in the forests of upstate New York. When their mother takes a sick Evie to get medical attention and doesn’t return, Wren and Sage are left on their own for weeks with dwindling supplies. Nicolette dreams of becoming a foster parent after having trouble conceiving. Her photographer husband, Brant, isn’t as enthusiastic about the idea. Nicolette begins so have doubts about Brant’s fidelity when she finds a photo of a child hidden in his drawer. The chapters alternate between Wren and Nicolette’s perspectives with each ending in a cliffhanger which naturally makes you want to keep reading. When their stories eventually converge the plot veers straight into unhinged territory. At that point you, as a reader, just have to say, “…mmmkay”, suspend all your disbelief and move on. Despite starting off strong and I was loving Wren and Sage’s storyline(!), the last quarter of the book became so unrealistic, nonsensical and ultimately disappointing. Rating: 3/5 ⭐️

Great Book!!

This book kept me on the edge of my seat for the entire story! I was kept guessing and trying to figure out what was going to happen next. But I was unable to guess any of the upcoming twists and turns. I absolutely loved it and still rave about it today!
