Emily is a highly intelligent and yet socially inept young scientist. Residing in the city, she was just beginning her career within Marine Biology.
Boris couldn't be more different from Emily. He had always been a drifter, floating from one job to another. He was confident and he could talk the talk, he just didn't want to.
We follow this unlikely duo, as they journey through the city centre, a treacherous route packed with members of the undead, as they attempt to reach Emily’s uncle, another scientist who may just have all the answers they have been looking for.
Can they cross the city unscathed? And will they find Emily’s uncle in time?
Jessica was born in Lincolnshire, however she moved to Cheshire at the age of five. Jessica spent the majority of her childhood residing in Bramhall. She now lives in a lovely little apartment in Wilmslow, the area that inspired her first novel. Jessica works full-time as an Administration Manager for an aquatic science consultancy firm. In her spare time she enjoys traveling, shopping, going out with friends and tending to her adorable yet mischievous house bunny named Honey.
This prequel is the start of Emily's adventure (E-Virus: Emily's Journey) to her Pharmaceutical Scientist of an Uncle for The Diary of the Modern Day Girl series. It's all about a young lady, (she's 25), who looks like a teenager, I guess. She's a marine biologist, who's socially inept, trying her best to survive the virulent effects of what's called the E-Virus outbreak.
On her journey, Emily meets up with an awkward guy, who'd prefer to be a hermit. Together they make their way towards her Uncle's lab that's miles away. There re many dangers, including a new species of humans, but it's the survivors who aren't infected that bring the story.
E-Virus, by Jessica Ward, is interesting, but it needs a little work. There were various errors throughout the read. Nothing that hurt honestly, but the story itself just wasn't enough for me to want to purchase the follow-up books. I do love the covers though; you know how much I'm a cover junkie. This one is just a slipper, but if you click on the book cover, you'll see the character, and author, has a thing for shoes. It's cool- very original for a horror story, and since it's a gal lead, it rather fits.
So yeah, check out the prequel, E-Virus: Emily's Journey, and see if it's for you. I enjoyed it, but I'm off to the next read!
