Publisher's summary

An instant New York Times bestseller, Wilder Girls is Rory Power's chilling YA debut. The Power meets We Were Liars in this compelling story of survival and the power of female friendships, perfect for fans of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder.

Everyone loses something to the Tox; Hetty lost her eye, Reese's hand has changed, and Byatt just disappeared completely.

It’s been eighteen months since the Raxter School for Girls was put in quarantine. The Tox turned the students strange and savage, the teachers died off one by one. Cut off from the mainland, the girls don’t dare wander past the school’s fence where the Tox has made the woods wild and dangerous. They wait for the cure as the Tox takes; their bodies becoming sick and foreign, things bursting out of them, bits missing.

But when Byatt goes missing, Hetty will do anything to find her best friend, even if it means breaking quarantine and braving the horrors that lie in the wilderness past the fence. As she digs deeper, she learns disturbing truths about her school and what else is living on Raxter Island. And that the cure might not be a cure at all . . .

Hoodwinked by a premise and a pretty cover

I think 2020 and all its drama coming so soon after I got this may have put me off reading it sooner, but I finally gave it a go. It took a while for me to feel like there was actually some action and while the horror aspects were fascinating, I wasn’t a fan of the style and this simply wasn’t for me in the end.

A little disappointing

Good potential, stellar performance, but the story just didn't do it for me; maybe I'm just not a fan of this kind of fiction
