Wilder Girls by Rory Power is part science fiction
and part horror story. Maybe hitting a little too close to home lately, this
book follows a group of girls on a secluded island boarding school, left to
fend for themselves when a vicious virus breaks out and starts taking the girls
down one by one.
The Raxter School for Girls was put under quarantine and since the Tox hit
eighteen months earlier, Hetty’s entire existence has been thrown upside down.
First it was the teachers and then the students, turning their bodies strange
and forgein, and then came the sounds from outside the gate. While they wait
for the cure time seems to be running out for Hetty and her friends, Byatt and
Reese, along with the food.
I was quite shocked at the ending for this one and really hope it’s picked up
for a sequel. You’ll be hanging onto the edge of your blanket for dear life.
Just make sure you don’t scratch that itch at the back of your neck and try to
remember it’s just a book! Until it’s not.
