Book Synopsis

THE ATTACKS WON’T STOP. NEITHER WILL SHE.

LONDON 2027

Terrorists deploy London Black, a highly sophisticated nerve gas, at Waterloo Station. For ten percent of the population – the ‘Vulnerables’ – exposure means near-certain death. Only a lucky few survive.

LONDON 2029

Copy-cat strikes plague the city, its Vulnerable inhabitants kept safe by regular Boost injections. As the anniversary of the first attacks draws near, DI Lucy Stone, a guilt-ridden Vulnerable herself, is called to investigate a gruesome murder of a scientist. Her investigation soon unearths the possibility that he was working on an antidote – one that Lucy desperately needs, as her Boosts become less and less effective.

But is the antidote real? And can Lucy solve the case before her Boosts stop working?

My review

This was a tense gritty read! I absolutely loved the main character DI Lucy Stone and learning more about her and what happened in the past to her. We had flashbacks to understand more about the boosts that were being used. But time was running out for her and the boosts weren’t working as effective as before. The last few chapters I was reading as quickly as I could as I needed to know what happened.

A real gripping read and for anyone that loves dystopian novels with a mix of thriller and crime then this is the book for you. I really enjoyed it and would love to see what the author brings out next!
