    About this audiobook

    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.

      I don’t know what the person that said that it just ended talking about. There’s not one thing left dangling not one thing on answered. I was fine with the way it ended. I thought they wrap things up brother nicely when I had six months I was very satisfied.

      Enjoyed how it all folded together, albeit predictable. A random point of contention, I wish that Sage’s age was a little younger. The way she acted so much younger was kind of strange and a bit of a plot point hole.

      Really enjoyed reading this book. I thought this was going to be a crazy crazy thriller! Crazy thriller none the less! But not what i had in mind!! I wasn't expecting it to go the direction it did. I knocked off a star because some of the plot was just unbelievable! And so far out there it made me roll my eyes!

      And the ending was a little to happy lol idk how to explain it, just wrapped up to nicely in a bow!
    • 4/5
      I could not have guessed the ending, had a nice time with this.
    • 3/5
      I like it but the ending is too predictable for me. Her descriptions of the characters give way to my assumptions to be correct.
    • 5/5
      I’m not sure why I put off listening to this book, as it was wonderful! Such an engaging story with beautiful characters. Narrator did an amazing job! I highly recommend a listen ?
    • 5/5
      An amazing story! Great book. I love that the character Nicole was smart from beginning to end. I was sure Brent was guilty as ….
    • 5/5
      This was amazing! I loved the story front both point of views and how they weaved together. Good twist. Listened in 3 days and it’s the best.
    • 5/5
      Loved this audiobook. It had me hooked from the minute I started. Great pace.
    • 5/5
      One of the few books that I listened to exclusively till the end. The story flowed in a way that kept my attention. Well written and the narration did it justice.
    • 4/5
      A heartwarming story. Full of suspense with twists and turns.. I loved the ending ?
    • 5/5
      Loved itA new author for me and I was pleasantly surprised! At first I was not sure what was going on! Then it got going and wow!
    • 3/5
      ? ? ? Overall, i enjoyed the story, the eerie and tense atmosphere, the alternating viewpoints, the mystery of why the sisters were raised in isolation, and what they’re running from, BUT some plot twists were super predictable and some of the characters could have been more developed.

    • 5/5
      This book is incredible! It's suspenseful and shocking. The POV changes are so well thought out. This is a new favorite for me and will probably become a physical copy on my bookshelf soon.
    • 5/5
      I enjoyed this book. It kept me interested all the way through.
    • 5/5
      This book was so unexpectedly wonderful. It was suspenseful and by the end I was sobbing. I loved it
    • 1/5
      Great beginning. But do not waste your time. The fall off is significant and the story just crumbles right before your eyes.
    • 4/5
      This book was great in the beginning but soon sizzled out, this ending could’ve been much better.
    • 5/5
      It was such a great listen!!! The writer twisted and turned the story and I couldn’t stop listening to the book!!!
    • 5/5
      Absolutely loved this one and flew through it in 24 hours!!
    • 2/5
      Ugh. I did not like this book at all. Wrens acting was horrible. They ruined the plot twist midway with the cashier. Ending plot line was not believable. Hated it.
    • 5/5
      I very much enjoyed this book. Lots of twists and turns.
    • 2/5
      Honestly if you're new to the genre of mystery/thriller, this is great other than that its boring and predictable. I pretty much figured out the story plot less than 1/4 into the book, the only reason I continued reason was because of the raving reviews.. and I was definitely dissatisfied
    • 5/5
      Great book! Loved it! Highly recommended. Audiobook was well narrated.
    • 5/5
      ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐+⭐
      The Stillwater Girls by Minka Kent was wow! And I mean it - Wow! This was wow, wow, wow!
      So twisted! As I didn't read a blurb or any reviews I literally dived in blindly without any idea of what I will get there. And I got more than I would expect! Minka Kent definitely moves to my favorite authors list! I want to read everything by her now! Seriously, this book left me with an open mouth!
      It was so good that I chose to ignore my family all afternoon because I needed to finish!
      This is some seriously twisted thriller! I LOVED IT!

      Wren and her two sisters, Sage and Evie lived deep in the woods not knowing what was going on in the real world! They have just basics and by that I mean they even don't know what is electricity!
      Life gets complicated when Evie gets ill and her mother takes her to the hospital... but she never comes back...
      Nicolette and her husband Brant live their best life the only missing thing is a child that they can't have. They exploring their options and are ready to be adoptive or foster parents to fulfill their life until the moment Nicolette is positive Brant has an affair!
      These two families will cross their paths in such an unexpected way and this will be just the start of a crazy journey up and down the hill!

      This is an absolute must-read book if you love fast-paced, unexpected twists and an original storyline! Straight to 6 stars from me!!!

      Jaw dropping! A must Read for sure! Incredibly written! Wow
