Genesis: Life Evolved

by J.M. Grant, Ranee S. Clark (Editor)

Tess is dying. Her only chance to live is an untested, experimental, and illegal treatment. She doesn’t know it, but taking that chance will destroy the lives of her family and friends, not to mention her ability to trust them. Worse, it will put her in the crosshairs of every government, paramilitary group, and biotech company in the world.


Before her world comes crashing down around her, she bumps into Adam on a bus. He’s exceptionally odd and doesn’t understand the way the world works. He fills Tess and her family with laughter, hope, and a few days of happiness before people start to die around her. She lets Adam in and immediately has more questions than answers, especially after he gets hit by a truck and walks away unscathed. But that’s not the weirdest part about him, and it doesn’t explain why he shows up in her life days before an attack shatters her life. That tragedy reveals a web of lies and secrets that threaten to destabilize not just Tess’s life, but the entire world.


If the treatment fails, Tess is as good as dead. Whether it works or not, questions remain... who or what will kill her first, why is Adam protecting her, and will there be anything left for it to matter?

There are aspects of the Tess and Adam relationship that remind me a bit of Twilight. He’s different, she’s fragile, she’s attracted to the fact he’s different and he’s always driven to save her. Even some of the times he saves her life are a bit twilightish. But it’s not Twilight, it’s very sci fi. And even though there are a few small grammar and spelling errors (this is a self published book), I really enjoyed it and had a lot of fun reading it.

tess and Adam are fascinating and I really enjoyed them! Throw in a bit of crazy, a dash of science, some killer drones, and poof, you've got a delicious cake! Wait no, I mean a delicious book. ;) The characters great, the premise was original, and I raced through it in 2 days (It would have been faster but having a 1 1/2 yr old means I can’t read until 8am 😂) ps love the twists!

I enjoyed this book way more than I thought I would! It has very lovable characters full of talents and flaws and a VERY interesting plot.

Filled with twists

At first, Genesis was hard to follow, and I felt a bit confused, but I guess that is what the author wanted. The story did eventually come together, and things smoothed out. I did enjoy the story and found that there were plenty of twists and unpredictability within the story. Tess is the main character, and she's terminally ill, so she'll do what she can to survive. It's a journey for survival, as well as dealing with chances that could impact someone's life. I liked the read, and I look forward to reading more by this new author.

I found this to be a good read. I wasn’t sure what to expect but it had many turns throughout the book and the mystery kept me turning the pages.
I am looking forward to the next book in the series.
