Blood Memory Society

I love mysteries and thrillers, especially ones having to do with medicine, so I was thrilled to be chosen to receive an advance copy of this book from Netgalley. I would like to thank the author and publisher for allowing me the chance to review this book. It opens with 2 acts of violence that kill a lot of people. The first is at a fertility clinic and the second at a lab for something called the Genesis Project. Dr Will Dunbar is called off his vacation by an old West Point friend to help with a secret project vital to the world's survival. Will is a reproductive medicine specialist so that ties him in with act of violence #1 but how is act of violence #2 related? Will's friend Ross introduces him to the concept of genetic memory and the Blood Memory Society, a secret society of the people who possess this memory which dates back hundreds of years. He is asked to examine Victoria Van Buren, who possesses blood memory, and work with her to reestablish the line. Of course she is young and beautiful and he is young and handsome so naturally they fall in love. You can see that one coming immediately. But the other twists and turns in the plot come at you from all directions in all manner until, like Will, you are not sure who to trust. The book is fast moving with lots of action and danger, and the characters are well developed. The premise of blood memory is well explained and believable. Throw in a little geography and history and you have it all. There will be a sequel but this book stands alone and has a satisfying ending. I look forward to reading more from Dr Fields.

I enjoyed every minute spent reading this book. It has suspense, mystery, romance. Well written, good character development and now I am anxiously waiting for the next book in the series.
