Book Description
This is a heart-stopping forensic action with a lethal twist. The Virals' home on Loggerhead Island is under threat, and only one thing can save it: a lot of money. A 300-year-old legend Rumour has it that notorious pirate Anne Bonny hid her treasure somewhere in Charleston in 1720. No-one knows where, but Tory Brennan - great-niece of famous forensic anthropologist Dr Tempe Brennan - is certain that the Virals can work out Bonny's cryptic clues. A deadly path, it isn't long before the Virals are on the right track. But they aren't the only ones searching for the treasure. Someone is following them, and will stop at nothing to get their hands on it. Dead bodies litter the trail. Time is running out before the island will be sold. Will the Virals' special powers be enough to save them?

A fast-paced thriller with a pirate treasure, Oct 30 2011
By Mary - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Seizure: A Virals Novel (Hardcover)
Positive: Pirates! Is there anything more exciting than digging for buried treasure? I love how Kathy Reichs incorporates both legend and fact into her story, then twists them so her Virals have treasure to chase.Positive: Tory. She's obviously the Alpha of her pack, bossing those boys around and getting them to do what she wants. She has good intentions -- she doesn't want the pack to break up, especially since they're only just learning about their powers and they're afraid to be apart, just in case something major happens. Plus, she's got such a sarcastic wit and an amazing brain, just like her famous aunt.
Positive: The connection to Temperance Brennan (Bones). It's a little thing, I know, but I really love when there's a crossover whether it be between series or, in this case, genres. It's like you're in on a little secret, if you've read the author's other works.
Wish: That Tory didn't seem to be talking to the reader at time. I don't know what it is about that style but it jars me and, because of that, it takes a bit longer to slide into the flow of the story.
Overall: A fast-paced thriller, SEIZURE grips readers and pulls them along for a wild ride.

I LOVE this series!, Oct 21 2011
By D. Antonio - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Seizure: A Virals Novel (Hardcover)
Seizure (Virals #2) by Kathy ReichsI LOVE this series! It's like Nancy Drew meets Maximum Ride. Seizure is the second book in the YA Virals series by Kathy Reichs author of the Temperance Brennan (Bones) novels. This series is inventive, intelligent and fun.
In Virals Tory and her friends are infected with a genetically altered parvo virus that affects their DNA and gives them special powers.
In Seizure the gang is still trying to get the hang of what is happening to their bodies as well as searching for Anne Bonny's pirate treasure.
I truly cannot wait for the next installment.
