A First Wave: The Emergence
By – Lisa Marie Meadows
Format – Kindle Edition
Print Length – 161 Pages
Genre – Fiction
My Ratings – 4.6/5

🏷A First Wave: The Emergence is the first book in Lisa Marie Meadows' Waves Series; there are two more novels in the series, which I will evaluate later. Before we begin the review, we should all be aware of the pandemic and worldwide disease caused by a virus; the book is about the same issue, but what if I told you that the narrative is a little different and has a love element to it? Wouldn't that pique your interest? Because the information piqued my interest.

🏷Dr Shelby Stone and Dr Simon Wellington are the two major protagonists in the tale; they used to work together and were the physicians for the worldwide spread illness. Soon after, they both began treating the affected patients, and while they were both in Italy, love blossomed between them. I assumed this was natural because they spent so much time together and were in the same profession, so they could have a good understanding.

🏷Shelby had to make a decision that might have transformed their lives while coping with their emotional pasts, the pandemic scenario in which everyone was, and their love for one other. Soon after, they were separated due to work, and the tables were turned when Shelby went missing following a car accident. The tension in the novel will be kept throughout, so read it to learn more about the narrative.

🏷The book cover is attractive, and the title is appropriate for the setting and narrative. Characters are designed in such a way that they are enthusiastic about their jobs and ready to help patients in a pinch. The romantic element between the two also altered the entire storyline and elevated it to new heights. The language was reader-friendly, and because it was a short read, it didn't seem strained.

Lisa Marie Meadows has penned down a beautiful and intriguing story on the situation of the world pandemic that started in 2020.

Dr.Shelby and Dr.Simon work together, and are the renowned infectious diseases physicians. One night Shelby receives an email stating that a new infectious disease has started in China and is spreading really fast. The symptoms of the disease is nothing similar to any other diseases that Shelby have studied earlier. Shelby and Simon go to China to analyze and help in controlling the outbreak. But it's too late while they are analyzing the virus has already affecting many other countries. The story travels from China to Italy to NYC.

Shelby has her own past but travelling and spending so much time with Simon results in blossoming of love between them. With all this situation going on in the world with so much emotional and work pressure will this love grow or will be shattered?

The story shows us how Coronavirus, a global pandemic has affected the lives of individuals and doctors dealing with it. The story is full of emotions and twists and turns. The book once picked can't be kept down unless you finished it. The characters are lovable and you feel a connection with them.

It is a series of three books and I am already waiting for the upcoming books in the series. I will recommend everyone to read it as it is based on the current situation of the world and is completely relatable and also it is very interesting with the little touch of romance, drama and thrill of has everything a perfect story needs.

Review: Welcome readers to a book that I found to be just perfect for a time like this, when we are fighting a global pandemic. The book is certainly inspired by similar circumstances and the plot is set around two main characters, researching a way to get the world out of the pandemic situation, when one of the doctors mysteriously disappear. Dr. Shelly and Dr. Simon will take you through their research and their romance, while they both have difficult choices to make. What will they choose?

📚I had a wonderful time reading this book. The readers will find it intriguing that the book is set in the times of global pandemic, and they will relate to the characters as everyone in this fictitious world is doing the same thing we are. Hoping on the disease to disappear for good, and the lives to go back to normal.

📚The storytelling is engaging and captivating and the author has done a perfect job weaving a mystery into the plot with a suspicious disappearance. The book is perfect read for the fan of science fiction and the fans of mystery-adventure genre as well. Get your copies today and join the protagonists to save the world.

It's an amazing non-fiction account of Dr. Patrick Treacy achievements and adventures across many countries. My favourite part about this book? The pictures ofcourse! This book is filled with pictures of Dr. Patrick's travel to so many wonderful places.

This book teaches us how life is to be lived, how challenges are to be welcomed and how much effort it takes to have the integrity to look them both in the eye, fight with dignity and come out a winner, despite losing your breaths in the battle!

I absolutely loved this! We need more novels like this one, we need stories that are original and tell the truth in such a unique way! This sure stands out and what I loved the most about it is that I could sense the honesty in the writing. It was not plastic, it was well-written but also so pure!
