gemee99's review against another edition

3.0

A really interesting plotline, and I loved where it was all based.

I loved the idea of the flu and how everything is quarantined, especially after experiencing something similar, and seeing how this was written beforehand makes it all come to life a bit more.

I loved Callie's character and really sympathised with her. Kai and Shay were a little annoying, though, and their romance seemed really pushed and quick.

Otherwise, a quick enjoyable read.

My Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars! :)

Favorite Moment:
Anytime Shay talks about physics. As a future Chemist, I’m a sucker for science!

This book was a brilliant start to a plague-riddled dystopian trilogy that’s mixed with a healthy dose of science fiction! It’s got everything: a top-secret government project, kidnapping, murder, mystery, deceit, dark matter, and a love story. I first heard of the story at BookCon 2019 in NYC at the publisher’s booth and have been itching to read it ever since! I was even approved for the ARC on NetGalley in June of 2019, but life finds a way of getting in the way and I JUST NOW got to read it. Better late than never, especially when the reward is a book this good, right?! :D We’ll leave out the irony of finally getting to read about a flu-like epidemic thanks to a newfound abundance of free time from being in the middle of a flu-like pandemic…

Warning, there are mild spoilers ahead!

Spoiler

The story takes place in Scotland, where an underground lab is running a series of secret experiments. Nearby, the main character Shay lives with her mom in a small town. The area surrounding the lab is suddenly plunged into chaos when there is an explosion at the same time that Shay’s adventure begins. She, along with Kai—a boy from a nearby town that she meets by chance—embark on a journey to find out what happened to Kai’s sister Callie, but instead they begin to uncover the cause of the epidemic that is ravaging their home. From there, things only get worse as Shay falls ill and the epidemic spreads across Europe…

There’s so much more to this story than my vague synopsis, but I loathe spoilers. You’ll just have to check this one out for yourself and see what happens next—and let me know what you think!

Also, I listened to this on audio, but also have an ebook and a hardcover. I’m not obsessed or anything…

I did enjoy this, didn't really like the insta-love of the relationship between Shay and Kai but then again, I'm an adult of 40 with four children, but I get being you, I do remember! I'd read a sequel if there was to be one.
