My review

This was fast paced and placed you in the action on more than one occasion. It’s about a pharmaceutical company that is trying to cover up their mistakes to find a cure for the Itch, a deadly disease sweeping the world. Being in the current pandemic this story has a relevant storyline. Although of course a different disease.

Jack Bright is the main character and he is fired from his job at the pharmaceutical company as he discovers something is going on.

Jack was amazing and I could really relate to him he was just an average guy trying to uncover the truths that had hurt so many people including his brother.

It was part medical, part thriller. Lots of parts made me sit on the edge of my seat and had to know more.

It has ended where there could be book two which I think there will be and I would love to read more about Erin!
