A deadly virus. A brilliant, young researcher. And an infected survivor who threatens to steal her heart.
In a society ruled by sanctions and curfews, Dr. Meghan Forester emerges as the youngest and most promising scientist to join the fight against Makanza—the deadly virus that's ravaged the world.
Inside Compound 26, a giant government-controlled research facility, Meghan's new job involves studying the Kazzies, the rare survivors who carry the virus and now exhibit supernatural powers. But as her work unfolds, Meghan's horrified at the brutal and unethical practices the Kazzies are subjected to.
And most surprisingly, she falls in love with one.
Faced with growing conflict over helping the Kazzies versus following the Compound's strict policies, Meghan must choose: obey the government's unethical practices or risk everything to save the only man she's ever loved.

Absolutely Brilliant
I loved this book. Very engaging, great story with brilliant characters. I absolutely loved it and thought the Narration was very good too.
Great story, great protaganist, cheap romance.
I really love the theme of a brilliant young scientist searching for a cure to a killer virus decimating the world and causing mutations in people. *****
Really well narrated considering all the different characters. ****
I enjoyed the character’s emotional struggles, and how she developed as a person. ****
I’m not into romance novels. I actually don’t mind when a love relationship develops between characters, provided it is well written and developed within the context of a good story. This novel however feels to me like the editor has demanded that a “love romance story” be inserted into a well written novel. The result is that a great story with compelling characters is tarnished by a tacked-on two dimensional love story - which I felt undermined the characters themselves. It felt jarring to me whenever the protaganist lusted over the rippling body of her love interest. The equivalent might be like a young brilliant male scientist out to save the world, starts ogling the curvaceous body of one of his test subjects, and falls in love with her. imho I reckon if you’re going to write like this then go all the way and write a romance novel. It’s better than watering down a good story with cheap romance. *
The rest of the series is not for me.
3.5 stars.
