But that's not enough for Margot. She wants family. She wants a past. And she may have just found the answer: A photograph, pointing her to a town called Phalene. Only, when Margot gets there, it's not what she bargained for.As soon as they see her face, everyone in town knows who Margot belongs to. It's unmistakable--she's a Nielsen. And when a mysterious girl who could be Margot's twin is pulled from a fire, Margot realizes that her mother left Phalene for a reason. But was it to hide her past? Or was it to protect Margot from what's still there?The only thing Margot knows for sure is there's poison in their family tree, and their roots are dug so deeply into Phalene that now that she's there, she might never escape.Praise for Wilder Girls:4 STARRED REVIEWS!"Fresh and horrible and beautiful....readers will be consumed and altered by Wilder Girls."-NPR"This thrilling saga...is sure to be one of the season's most talked-about books, in any genre."--EW"The perfect kind of story for our current era."--Hypable"Your new favorite book."--Cosmopolitan

"Ok.....so this book....is...CRAAAAAAZYYY. Its so out of the box that you'll literally be questioning everything and at times really confused. The writing style is amazing and easy to read. I hope that you give this book a shot, especially if you need a fresh wave of unique, mind bending, never been told before type book."

"I heard about this author from another book she wrote called Wilder Girls. I loved that novel so I wanted to read this one too. About three quarters of the novel seems like your stereo typical small town mystery, but Rory Power did an amazing job throwing off her readers in this novel. Would recommend to someone who likes science fiction and mystery."
