Perfect for you if...

You love YA mysteries with scientific twists and don't mind a bit of genetic mutation in your plot.
You're drawn to stories where ordinary teens gain extraordinary abilities and have to figure out how to use them responsibly.
You enjoyed Alex Rider or Percy Jackson and want something with real stakes and forensic detail.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer romance-heavy YA where the mystery takes a back seat to relationship drama.
You want standalone novels rather than the first book in a series.
You're squeamish about animal experimentation or genetic modification as plot devices.

About this book

Tory Brennan, grandniece of forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan, explores the marshlands of Loggerhead Island with her science-minded friends. The island is home to the off-limits Loggerhead Island Research Institute, where unusual activity is occurring. After rescuing a stray wolfdog pup from a top-secret lab, Tory and her friends are exposed to a rare strain of canine parvovirus. The exposure alters their DNA, transforming them into something more than friends—a pack with dangerous abilities. Now calling themselves Virals, they must determine whether they possess the power to solve an unsolved murder.
