Virals
With her careers as world-class forensic anthropologist, bestselling author and producer of the hit TV series Bones, Kathy Reichs is a trifecta of accomplishments. Recently her broad-spanning wings have spread to include the title “screenwriter” (for the season five Bones episode “The Witch in the Wardrobe”) and now—with the publication of Virals—“young adult author.” A fascinating blend of forensic science and fantasy sure to appeal to a new generation of Bones fans, Virals introduces Tory Brennan, niece of acclaimed forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan.
Fourteen-year-old Tory is the leader of a ragtag band of teenage "sci-philes" who live on a secluded island off the coast of South Carolina. When the group rescues a dog caged for medical testing on a nearby island, they are exposed to an experimental virus that changes their lives forever.
As the friends discover their heightened senses and animal-quick reflexes, they must combine their scientific curiosity with their newfound gifts to solve a cold-case murder that has suddenly become very hot—if they can stay alive long enough to catch the killer's scent.
Fortunately, they are now more than friends—they're a pack. They are Virals.

My daughter really enjoyed this story! Well written - never dull.
And GOOD NEWS this book is on the California schools AR list so it will count for her required reading.

Just finished #2 in the series. Purchased Virals a few weeks ago. Enjoyed reading both, looking eagerly forward to the next book in the series. I am 60 years young and I think this series would interest all ages.

I also read Virals and did not realize it was for teens but I found it very entertaining. I have started the second in the book and hope the author has another one in this series.

Here I am reading a teen book and I'm 65. I ordered these two books for my granddaughter and forgot, so when I received them I started reading the first one and got hooked. I didn't see anything about a third book and that would be a shame since they are so entertaining. Maybe we all should write the author and tell her how much we would like this to be a series.
