Speculative Horror Fiction is not my favorite.... this leans slightly towards sci-fi, but for me it never really commits. This brings up a lot of pertinent issues with the historical data of medical testing that has been done to POC by Scientists/government/doctors/etc. it’s a book that plays into those fears, and highlights how little people care for human beings if they are other in these programs. If you are looking for a nonfiction account of this read “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks”.
For me this book is more a 3.5/5 but I rounded up because it’s not a 3. It’s a book that’s for a lot of discussion points and would be something I’d love to deep dive into at a book club!

It was so good and such a page turner until the end! I was holding out for a crazy twist and it just kind of ended
