Knowing this is the end of the virals was sad, I just wished it was carried on because it was that good! But I know that I can always relive my love for them, by rereading the series π
Reading the four short stories Shock (0.5), Shift (2.5), Swipe (3.5) & Spike (5.5) gave me an insight on our beloved characters that we have never seen before. It made me fall more in love with the group as well as being full of laughs. To get an after the fact kind of book after the fifth book terminal was a life saver, as it stopped on a cliffhanger. But then, I had more questions that needed answers which is why I hope she adds more. If not, then we all have to come up with our own answers.
However, I really enjoyed this series and definitely recommend it! Itβs full of laughs, danger, adventure, family and the meaning of a pack and many other things that are included in this amazing series! π x

It was pretty cool and exciting to read more about the characters in Virals. I really love this series an am so glad to have the short story collection. It is sad that I finished the book because I want to read more connected to this world.

I read all of the virals books but was never able to read any of the short stories. I was extremely happy, therefore, when I first heard that they were all coming out in a book together. Especially the last one, which wrapped up the series in a one year later story. I also really liked the one that showed Tory meeting the boys for the first time. That was really cool.

I am so upset.
See, I've been such a fan of virals, from when it first came out when I was a tween, to when the last book was released and I was in university.
So obviously I was excited to get my hands on this short story collection, and while the first one was wonderful, as you get to see how the Virals all met, the rest let me down. So. Very. Much.
I was never the biggest fan of our main character Tory due to her "I'm not like other girl" attitude, but it seemed amplified in the stories we got. She was always unlikeable, but it was like the authors wanted to cram her unlikeable personality into all the short stories.
Also, I'm suddenly very grateful we didn't really get a prominent love story in the original books, because the one we get here....eheheuejdhhdhsjwkaldjdh.
So cringeworthy. "Naughty boy".
"NAUGHTY BOY!!!!!!"
I never want to see two characters flirting like that again. Or ever again in general.
So, excuse me while I go puke my guts out, or at least rinse my soul from girl-hating, cringeworthy romance, and awful mysteries.
