An atmospheric gothic fantasy romance for fans of Ninth
House, The Power and Wilder Girls.
"A hauntingly atmospheric tale of power and friendship,
that crept deliciously beneath my skin. Dark and dangerous,
these girls utterly bewitched me." - Bex Hogan, author of Nettle
"A dark, addictive gothic fantasy. It's an eerie,
beautiful tale, following powerful girls with unique gifts and a
creepy murder mystery. I loved it - would recommend if you're a YA
fantasy enthusiast." - Georgia Leighton, author of Spellbound
"A gripping, unpredictable gothic fantasy that effortlessly
blends believable magic with a slow-burn romance and keeps
you guessing until the very end." - School Reading List
Imogen Brine is undeniably strange. Some would even say
dangerous.
She can make poisonous flowers grow from her fingertips and her
"gift" is becoming harder to control. When she is invited to a
secret island to be with other girls – girls with dangerous
gifts of their own – it feels like the chance to finally be
herself. Somewhere she will fit in. However, not long after her
arrival, a deer is found dead with poisonous flowers growing from
its corpse. And all eyes are on Imogen.
Imogen knows she's been set up. Something on the island feels
wrong – and it isn't just the friction with the other girls
or the growing tension between her and the son of the island's head
of security, Jack. As strange occurrences continue to rock the
island, some more dangerous than others, Imogen realizes she will
have to work quickly to learn what's causing them.
Because things are about to turn deadly. And not all dangerous
girls want to be friends.
Part dark and addictive fantasy, part murder mystery:
this story features a compelling cast of girls with unique
gifts and chilling secrets
Atmospheric and beautifully written, it's filled with gorgeous,
slow-burn romantic tension
Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo with shades of Netflix's Wednesday
