Review: Wild Child by Mike Wells

From Goodreads: Briana Fox is the wildest girl in school. She and Kyle have been close for a long time...almost lovers. Kyle is afraid that if he pushes her, he'll have his heart broken and lose his best friend. When Briana discovers a mysterious "power drug" in a cave, two government agents are desperate to find the source and turn Briana into a human experiment. Will Kyle risk everything to protect his love? 

My Rating: 3 hearts  

Thoughts on the Novel: Wild Child by Mike Wells is a short – it’s only about 50 pages – but well-written and suspenseful story told from the perspective of Kyle. After a boating accident that should have somehow left his best friend Briana dead, Briana tells Kyle that she is only alive thanks to some mysterious green water that she managed to drink. Briana then takes Kyle to the cave where she found the water and Kyle takes a sample of it to give to his dad, a chemical engineer. Unfortunately, the water’s effects begin to wear off the next day and Briana and Kyle have to head back to the cave so that Briana can drink more of the water. Soon, the government finds out about their discovery, and Kyle must make a decision about what’s best for everybody involved. For such a short story, Wells does a good job showing off the personalities of both Kyle and Briana and creating a completely unpredictable – albeit abrupt – ending.   

Wild Child was published in March 2011. 

Comments About the Cover: Briana’s expression freaks me out even though it goes very well with the story. The mysterious green water is almost like a drug and makes her capable of doing strange things.
