The Stillwater Girls

De: Minka Kent

Narrado por: Lauren Ezzo, Melissa Moran

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.

Loved from beginning to end

I enjoyed this story right from the beginning and it held my interest until the very end. I absolutely love the narrators as well. Definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves thrillers and mysteries.

Stillwater girls

Great story and kept one on and wondering to the very end.
The narrator is excellent too.

Captivating

What a great suspense. The love and bond between these characters make it that much better.

It was going good until the end when it turned ridiculous

3stars only and that was only for the first 70 percent of the read .The last 30 percent deserved no stars .It was going well then the book took a turn of the absurd and ridiculous.There was a explanation for the wife’s past that was so over the top stupid that it literally ruined the entire book and read for me personally.The twist was insulting to the reader ,I was dumbfounded to think anyone could write such a twist like that .I can’t ever recommend the read because of the way the story fell apart at the end .

A great book

This had me hooked from the beginning and had lots of plot twists and turns. I didnt care for the voices as much for listening purposes but the story was great

SO GOOD

I’m not sure why I was skeptical - the storyline didn’t sound like something I would normally listen to.

But I was ENTRANCED. I loved the characters, the development, the emotion and description, the suspense leading up to the end, the twists the turns, all of it! 10/10 one of the best I have listened to in a while.

Amazing Story

kept me listening, congrats on a first class book. Can't wait to read more. Keep up the good work.

So many holes in the plot.

Before I get into to the plot holes, I have to say that the narrator who reads Wren's chapters has a horrible male characters voice that pulled me out of the story everytime. I would have preferred the other narrator read the whole thing.

The plot feels weak and lacks depth. I will try to review without spoilers so people can decide for them selves.
I felt like there were so many holes in the story line that left me asking questions. I feel like it lacked credibility to make the story really good.
As others have said, the husband's secret is too far fetched to be real. This is a good example of mental health mismanagement across all of the characters.
The Stillwater Girls was my first read from this author, and it turned me off from reading anything else by her.

Interesting

It was well written and the Narrator was great with the different characters.
Nikolet went through a traumatic experience, with many ups and downs. Her husband, Brandt, her best friend trying to protect her against something in her past she can’t remember.
Wren, Sage, & Evie all found themselves to be victims of kidnapping. (The Stillwater girls).

Slow at first

I was hesitant at the beginning because of the multiple characters going back and forth but once the story came together I couldn’t stop listening!
