review 1: After a strong start this book disappointed me. The supernatural elements did not come together in a convincing way, and the main character was annoyingly passive. The publisher seems to have misfired a bit in the marketing and positioning--very little about the cover visuals or copy indicated that this is a YA book and that it has "nonhuman" characters. Perhaps if I had known that I would not have been as disappointed. Still, I enjoyed it overall.
review 2: Wild Girls, we all are in our own way... This coming of age novel is tinged with the supernatural and violence. What I liked is that the characters had a bit of life to them and Kate, while wanting to both love and hate Willow,isn't your typical wallflower as you see in most stories like these. Willow opens... more her world while also leading her to a dangerous place. What wasn't I fond of? The ending- it felt abrupt and left me saying 'huh' but I still enjoyed the story. I would love to see how this author grows, she certainly has a voice. Would I compare it to The Virgin Suicides? Not quite. But I certainly didn't want to put the novel down. Yes, read it! One of the few good books I have read recently. less
