![]() ![]() It's something that you'd see in a YA genre, but written for adults, and I really enjoyed it. I liked the complexity and the action of this story. ![]() It’s a near-future thriller based on the idea that we could augment the human body with genetically-engineered helper organisms. I loved the characters in this book, everyone of them is complex, and there's very few who are decidedly on one side or the other of right and wrong, or who's motives are purely altruistic or malevolent.

She didn't read like every other scifi heroine. I really enjoyed the main character, Sal, because she is anxious, naive, and a very genuine feeling voice.

There were a few twists that I saw coming and the ending wasn't all that surprising, but it was só worth it! On to the next ride with book 2! ![]()
