[Amanda · Rating 2 out of 5]

I don't know exactly what I was expecting when I started this book, but it didn't end up living up to that expectation.

I think, from the synopsis, I was thinking it was going to be a pandemic replete with the rush to save lives, but somewhere in the middle I feel like it switched over from being a medical thriller to a crime/political thriller, and I wasn't really happy with the switch.

I quit reading..oh, 3/4s of the way through, just because the book was not anything like what I wanted to read. Well written, but not my cup of tea.

Good book, but the ending was a bit abrupt. I didn't get the "normal" satisfaction that you get when all the threads of the story are tied up neatly. All plot threads did get tied up at the end, but not in a very smooth/polished manner.

This book was good, a little but a must read

Predictable

[Alexis Allinson · Rating 4 out of 5]

A medical mystery, murder and a little romance are weaved together as a Dr. learns that a tidal wave of events were put into motion decades earlier.
