The mystery and legends of this place added even more to the creepy feeling it gave me. While Sawkill Rock seems interesting, after reading this book I think I’ll avoid islands for awhile, haha! That’s definitely a compliment to the author’s writing! I love when they’re able to make me feel like I’m in their world. I felt like I was there and I can just imagine how it all looks like.
