Ebook provided by NetGalley for review. Thank you.
Read April 2021.
Raxter School for Girls has been in quarantine for 18 months after an outbreak of something they call "The Tox". No-one knows what it is or where it came from. It's deadly but the few that are left have changed... Byatt has a second spine, Reese's arm is strange, it took Hetty's eye and others have things like permanent blisters, second heartbeats etc.
Despite the issues everything muddles along, until Taylor quits boat shift and Hetty is chosen as her replacement, then things start to change, things aren't right. Then Byatt goes missing and Hetty, with spiky Reese, decides she must do something and find her...
The writing style drew me in and I did enjoy this book but the character development was very lacking, even the mains seemed quite flat, although I did like the scenes between Hetty and Reese. Also I wanted more background on everything!
The ending was very abrupt and I was annoyed since I initially believed that this was a standalone novel but I understand that there is a sequel coming out so hopefully that will answer a lot of those currently unanswered questions.
3/5 stars
