An excellent thriller, the characters really came to life and was very scary at certain points. This really makes me think, especially in the current situation how deadly viruses and diseases that aren't visible to the human eye with a microscope can be. This story really kept me on the edge of my seat, the story buildup was great and the character description was on point.

I really enjoyed this book and this may seem morbid but it's a fascinating story especially with the current pandemic of COVID-19 (coronavirus). One thing in particular I enjoyed was the book was written in several characters perspectives so I felt like I got a better grasp of the story from see everyone's view of how things happened. There's a big twist at the ending that I didn't see coming. The characters were all very relatable. I managed to read the whole thing in two days it was definitely a page turner. I took one star off due to the end of the book it seemed a bit too dystopian for me but in my lifetime I've never experienced a epidemic or pandemic so it may be too hard for me to imagine.

While this isn't my usual genre of book, I like the disease outbreak type of books and movies and with the Coronavirus in the news right now it seemed like a good time to read this type of book.

This book starts off with a plane crash ten years before and then in present day there are small outbreaks of some virus all over the world and people start dying. Doctors and scientists start getting more worried as more and more cases of this new virus start turning up. This book shows that a virus that spreads really fast can take over an entire village and if one person gets out after spending time with someone in the village and travels back home by plane, the results can be disastrous.

I thought I knew where this story was going but then we get thrown this huge twist and it just went in a totally different direction. Eli is a scientist and Riley works for the military and they meet in Mexico where they try and figure out how this village got infected and why once you're infected, you die. 100% mortality rate is bad, really bad and when people all around the world start showing up infected, it only gets worst. These two end up working closely together and there's even a little romance between them which I wasn't expecting in this book but I liked. Eli and his team have to find out where this virus started and how to stop it but while searching for answers, they uncover secrets they never saw coming.

This book was one of those keep you on the edge of you seat type stories and made my heart break at certain times. It's been a while since I read a book like this but I thoroughly enjoyed this one.
