Publisher's 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)

Awesome story.

I expected this to be a great book, based on the fact that I have read all Kathy Reich/Tempe books. But the small twist that Tory Brennan beings Alf was fantastic. I have 3 children who will listen to a story occasionally were not able to put down this one.

Thank you, Kathy Reich, for once again entertaining your fans and allowing another generation into your world!!

A good listen

After not being able to find the next book I wanted in the Temperance Brennan series, I decided to try some of Kathy Reichs other books, with a different narrator - Cristin Milioti.
What started out as a voice I was not sure I liked, turned out to be a compelling story teller. Probably would be suited to a younger audience, but I found myself listening to the book at every spare minute.
With definite parallels to the Temperance Brennan series - the heroine being her great-niece, it was a familiar style of story.
A bit if detective work, a lot of "meddling" by those who shouldn't , some sci-fi (I.e. Reminiscent of the Spider-Man beginnings), and throw in some baddies and a small bit of love interest. The end result is a intriguing story with likable characters and a narrator who brings us all together with a voice full of expression.
I am now ready to download the second in the series. 👍🏻
