This was a great story and plenty of mystery. Gave 3.75 stars because it lagged a bit in the end. Not sure if this is a standalone or is the main character a repeat book’s focus. I learned a lot about infectious diseases and interesting subject of Fibromyalgia which I struggle with. Would read more from this author. Thanks for the Arc

It started out interesting, and quickly lost it.
And way too long. Nothing really original.
Should have been shorter also.

I really enjoyed this book – it was a fun and entertaining read that kept me engaged throughout. The story had a great premise that immediately pulled me in, and I especially appreciated the strong, independent female lead. Her character was well-developed and refreshing to follow.

That said, I felt like the book could have benefited from being a little shorter. While the rich details helped build the world and characters, there were moments when the narrative went deeper than I felt was necessary. I found myself skimming through some of those sections to get back to the main plot.

One thing that surprised me – I didn’t realize until I sat down to write this review that this is actually the third book in a series! I can confidently say that it reads very well as a standalone. I never felt lost or like I was missing key information, which speaks to the author’s ability to weave a complete and satisfying story within this larger world.

Overall, I’d recommend it to anyone who enjoys character-driven stories with strong leads and a compelling plot. I might even go back and check out the first two books now that I know this is part of a series!
