First impressions: I read a preview of the first few chapters of "Wilder Girls" by Otry Powers via Bookishfirst.com. This is marketed as a "girls Lord of the Flies. I am intrigued by the premise of students of an all-girls school who are unable to leave the school because a mysterious "Tox" outbreak has them quarantined there. It's a grim premise: the "Tox" has affected humans and animals alike with disfiguring effects of the toxins they are exposed to and this appears to be a "survival of the fittest" scenario with terrifying consequences. The preview definitely peaks your interest and was definitely enough to make me immediately add "Wilder Girls" to my TBR. Trigger warning for body horror.
