The Daughters of Block Island

The island’s isolated atmosphere really amplifies the suspense, but I wonder if the author based it on a real place or crafted it entirely from imagination.

The tension built up so well in the beginning and then dipped a bit — I’m curious if that was a deliberate choice to develop characters or a pacing slip.

The atmospheric descriptions and dark family history really made the setting feel alive. I’d love to hear thoughts on how the Gothic tone influences the reader’s experience.
