Wilder Girls drops you into the quarantined Raxter School for Girls, a place where a mysterious illness called 'The Tox' has warped nature, killed the adults, and is slowly transforming the students in gruesome, visceral ways. Imagine an isolated island where bodies are betraying their inhabitants, and the wilderness beyond the fence is just as terrifying as what's happening within. When Hetty's friend Byatt vanishes, Hetty must brave the corrupted woods and unravel the secrets of their school, risking everything she thought she knew about their situation. This book is a masterclass in claustrophobic suspense and body horror, with an atmosphere so thick you can almost taste the metallic tang of fear. It’s a compelling, unsettling read that delves deep into the intensity of female friendship and survival. Pick this up if you're looking for a dark, eerie story that will get under your skin and stay there, perfect for readers who love their dystopias with a side of the truly grotesque.
