Thoughts
I found myself really enjoying this book, and found the origins of the virus that breaks out to be quite refreshing. Even though there have been a million books regarding outbreaks of viruses this one came with a completely different spin on the whole thing.I will admit I wasn't the biggest fan of Shay and Kai's relationship as it just seemed to happen to fast for me, and Kai just seemed a bit to volatile to me, and a bit of an a**hat at times.
SPOILERS
I found Callie to be a great character, she has had this forced onto her and there she is flying around as a ghost with only Shay being able to talk to her. If I was her I would find this frustrating and wanting revenge on who did this to me.
I did find Callie's motives suspect as she let Shay believe she was the reason the virus was spreading when in fact she had figured out it was her.
I did like the twist regarding Shay's parentage that Callie's father Alex was also hers as well, and I was really hoping that this would come out during this book.
SPOILERS END
I have a theory on who Dr 1 might be, which I hope I'm wrong as it would be a bit too predictable if I'm right, but then I would be happy if I was right as she didn't reveal him too quickly.
Overall a great start to the series, and I can't wait to see what happens next in Deception.
