Virulent: Stories
Virulent: Stories is a companion text to the Virulent Trilogy. It should be considered book #1.5 and is best read after finishing Virulent: The Release.
While each story in the book can act as a stand-alone text, some of them can and do contain spoilers to Book One of the Virulent Trilogy.
WHAT HAPPENED ON RELEASE DAY?
While Lucy King was trapped inside Pacific Lake High School on Release Day, the rest of the world succumbed to a deadly virus unleashed by vigilante bioterrorists. Virulent: Stories takes you into Release Day and shares the perspectives of six different characters. The stories in the collection are:
Salem's Day
Annabelle Saunder's Day
Darla's Day
Dr. Neil Gregory's Day
Maxine's Day
Benjamin Pope's Day
From burying family pets to leaving the house to operate one of the drones used to release the virus, each character provides his or her unique tale of death, destruction, fear, and empowerment.

If you read & enjoyed Virulent: Release, you will enjoy Virulent Stories. The author said to think of it like 1.5 in the trilogy.
This was one of my favorite trilogies last year, and it was fun to revisit the day of the release of the virus and see what some of the other characters where doing that day. Darla's story was a good one - but my favorite was Maxine's Story (Lucy's mom). Her mom seemed like a rather cold, regimented woman in the 1st book - but here we get to see her dawning realization that something is terribly wrong - and her panic when her 2 oldest children are not with them. As a mom, I could feel for her.
I recommend this book, as part of the Virulent trilogy, to fans of apocalyptic fiction.

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.Although I haven't read the first book in the series i enjoyed this story and felt connected to these characters.I purchased the first book in the series and can't wait to read it.I want to see how these characters lives connect and how they manage to survive in a world devastated by a flu pandemic.I recommend this book to any fan of the post apocalyptic/dystopian genre.

Virulent: Stories
I thoroughly enjoyed getting the before stories. It enriched the original story immensely and answered a number of questions that I had.
If your a fan of the trilogy, this is a must read.

This was a pretty good YA apocalyptic story. It kept my attention and I thought that the reader did a good job as well. I hoped that the 2nd book to this trilogy was available, but it's not.
