It first caught the eye of Alyssa, Amy and I (well, I’m sure one of them saw it first and recommended it to me, actually) was the fact that it was billed as “bubblegum gothic”. Wow, FAIRYTALES FOR WILDE GIRLS is just so unlike anything I’ve really read before. Isola needs to uncover the truth behind the dead girl's demise and appease her enraged spirit, before the ghost steals Isola's last breath. And her brother-princes – the mermaids, faeries and magical creatures seemingly lifted from the pages of the French fairytales Isola idolises – will protect her with all the fierce love they possess. Her real-life friends – Grape, James and new boy Edgar – make her forget for a while. But when the girl appears at Isola's window, her every word a threat, Isola needs help. Isola Wilde sees a lot of things other people don't.
There's a dead girl in a birdcage in the woods. ‘He's gone the same way as those little birds that bothered me with their awful songs! And you will too, you and your horrible heart-music, because you won't stay out of my woods!'
