It has been eighteen months since the Tox hit the Raxter School for
Girls forcing the school to be put under quarantine by the CDC. The Tox
began very slowly as one by one of the teachers starting dying. Then it
began infecting the students and mutilating their bodies causing
deformities. The girls are cut off from the rest of the world and have
to fend for themselves against nature and the Tox. They can't leave the
island or the school's fence because it will break the quarantine order.
While the neighboring woods prove to be wild and dangerous with the
wild animals being affected with the Tox. The girls are waiting for the
promised cure but, the world around them is starting to close in.
When
Byatt goes missing, Hetty will stop at nothing to find her. She is
willing to break quarantine and travel into the woods to find her
beloved friend. What Hetty finds behind the fences leaves her to
question everything she thought she knew. Will Hetty be able to put her
fears and worries aside to save her friend?
The novel
was an interesting read but, I felt that the writing took away from the
novel. Sometimes, I felt I had to re-read sentences to make sure I was
understanding the context. However, I love how strong and diverse each
of the characters was. Personally, I thought the ending left a bit to
desired but, I did enjoy the book.
