About this listen
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 . . .

Dark and intriguing
An interesting premise and a dark undercurrent throughout the book. I lost a bit of steam near the end but not sure if it was the story or my mood. Might revisit at a later time. At this point I don't feel inclined to rest the next book but that might change later.

A really great book.
I absolutely loved this female driven, girl-power-without-being-annoying-about-it story!
If the narration feels choppy and unatural for you at first, keep listening. the book is written in a very unique way, it definitely takes both narators a while to get into the swing of things. I almost turned it off because I could feel how it was meant to be read and then weren't quite getting there but it smoothed out at the quarter way mark and turned into a real enjoyable experience!
I loved that there were a few twists I caught on to and a few didn't. also great ending xx

Gruesome and made me anxious
not finished, expected it to get better but it got too depressing and skincrawley. maybe the acting was too good!
