Virals is the first book, Reichs has written for the young adult genre. It is full of drama, adventure and suspense.
Virals is "ok" up, until halfway, when it becomes rather fun, exciting and entertaining. This series definitely has the potential to be great and memorable.
Due to the slow start up with a rather preposterous set up --- I can only suggest that you let it build up before giving up on it because it does become worth your time and effort.
Grade: B-
Synopsis
Tory Brennan, niece of acclaimed forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan (of the Bones novels and hit TV show), is the leader of a ragtag band of teenage “sci-philes” who live on a secluded island off the coast of South Carolina. When the group rescues a dog caged for medical testing on a nearby island, they are exposed to an experimental strain of canine parvovirus that changes their lives forever.
As the friends discover their heightened senses and animal-quick reflexes, they must combine their scientific curiosity with their newfound physical gifts to solve a cold-case murder that has suddenly become very hot–if they can stay alive long enough to catch the killer’s scent.
Fortunately, they are now more than friends– they’re a pack. They are Virals.
