Like a lot of you know, I am a sci-fi fan (not as big as my sister but still a fan). The premise of The Immortality Virus really got it. It seemed action packed with mystery entailed in it. The book did deliver. I have to mention how I am not a fan of the cover. It looks...very unprofessional. I mean I had seen worse but I really wish the book can get a better cover.The world created in The Immortality Virus kind of reminded me of Gotham City, dark, gloomy and dangerous. The poor suffered the rich enjoyed. Trust me, the world in the book is not a place you want to live.Okay I love books set in the future because I just LOVE reading about the technologies. #GeekForLife. I can just drool over the amazing high tech awesomeness. The action was so intense and heart bounding that I wouldn't breath at times when I read the book. There were twists and turns that just blew my mind. Furthermore, Christine added splashes of romance within the novel and it was delightful. Too bad there were parts where it was a little slow for me.Okay, I kind of knew I was going to get confused (by a little) when I read the Goodreads synopsis (yes I got confused reading the synopsis #fail). Yes indeed I got lost a few things during  the reading. The plot seemed complex to me then and it was when I read it. Grace didn't have the most simple life. Grace kind of reminded me of Kiera from Continuum. I totally pictured Kiera the whole time.Grace was kind and could kick butt. She was definitely something. Unlike Kiera, Grace was sassy with awesome comebacks and humour. Man if I was her, I would be eeeeppiiiccc! I loved Alex and Meg too. Meg was someone not "strong" like Grace but she was super kind and strong in her own way.I don't want to spoil the ending but it did remind me of Triggers by Robert J Sawyer's ending.Overall, I enjoyed the fast paced of the book hinted with romance and packed with mystery and twists. I do recommend this to sci-fi and dystopian readers.
