'Body horror meets boarding school in a moving, terrifying thriller' – Guardian
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 . . .

2,5 sterrenHet begon heel goed, mysterieus en spannend maar het takelt daarna flink af.

Very little worldbuilding, therefore it’s hard to connect with the girls. The story is pretty predictable and the ending leaves the reader with too many questions. The writing itself was enjoyable and the concept of the story is good.

Wat een teleurstelling! Ik heb het gevoel dat het boek nog niet echt af was. Iemand bij de uitgeverij had publicatie tegen moeten houden. Aan dit verhaal had nog flink geschaafd moeten worden. Zoveel gaten in het plot, een afgeraffeld einde. Schande dat men zich er zo vanaf gemaakt heeft!

I love this book, but it's definitely not for everyone. The writing style is pleasant to read, even during the more gruesome parts and I really enjoyed the atmosphere.

Echt een super boek. Ik ben het gaan lezen omdat het tussen de young queer boeken stond maar het is naast de meeslepende romantiek echt een geweldig en spannend boek.

Heftig maar heel gaaf!Een gave YA horror die je aandacht erbij houdt.Enige minpunt voor mij was dat ik in het begin nog wat meer worldbuilding had gewild
