Summary

Fourteen-year-old Tory Brennan is as fascinated by bones and dead bodies as her famous aunt, acclaimed forensic anthropologist, Tempe Brennan. However living on a secluded island off Charleston in South Carolina there is not much opportunity to put her knowledge to the test. Until her and her ragbag group of technophile friends stumble across a shallow grave containing the remains of a girl who has been missing for over thirty years.

The question is, did whoever was responsible for the girl's death have anything to do with the sick puppy they rescued from a secret laboratory on the same island? With the cold-case murder suddenly hot, Tory realises that they are involved in something fatally dangerous. But events take a turn for the bizarre when they escape some would-be attackers by using physical powers more akin to a dog than a human... Could the puppy hold the key not only to the murder, but also the strange changes that are taking place in their bodies?

Critic reviews

“If you like Bones, you'll love Virals.” (James Patterson)
“Kathy Reichs gets it dead right with sharp writing and a plot that throws a bunch of very real teens into a deadly adult world ... I loved it and I'm sure fans of Alex Rider will love it too” (Anthony Horowitz)
“Mystery ... fantasy ... science ... and heart-stopping action - this book is DANGEROUS. After I read Tory Brennan's first adventure, I wanted more, more, MORE!" (R.L. Stine, author of Goosebumps)

It's aimed at Teens but I wasn't disappointed in it. Same expressive prose and attention to detail. story line more fanciful but I can imagine it would be a real hit with my daughter too.

I read this as a Tempe fan ....

This was a surprise to me. Not at all what you would expect from Kathy Reichs. But it crosses over with my love of si-fi. Loved it.

Ps,Cristin Milioti does a fantastic job bringing this book to life. Very excited to read the rest of the series

As a long time fan of Kathy Reichs I was at first confused that this story seemed to be teen fiction, and did not include Tempe Brennan. At first I really disliked the characters, and even the way it was being performed but I persisted and soon became engaged with the plot . By the end, even though I had guessed some of the twists I found myself really liking the book. I suspect Kathy Reichs will be writing more books with Virals as the central characters.

Grew on me!
