The author really has to be praised for taking what was a fascinating plot idea and turning it into such a brilliant book. We follow Rory whose life takes an unexpectedly deadly turn when it is revealed his body produces a protein that can cure all manner of terminal illnesses. The desperation certain sufferers have means that Rory suddenly becomes a target, hunted for the cure his blood provides. This miraculous blessing he thought he had suddenly becomes a nightmare as he is forced to fight for his life.With the stakes so high and danger a possibility at all times there is a constant suspense throughout the book that threatens to explode at any moment, this really helped to immerse me in the story. The plot moves along at an electric pace while the events that unfold are suitably thrilling and unpredictable meaning you never know what’s about to happen. Rory is a strong main character who I found to be well rounded, his actions and emotions were believable considering the surreal situation he found himself in. All of these factors helped me to invest more emotionally in his journey throughout the story.Personally I thought this book was pure entertainment. From start to finish my attention was held and I feel lovers of the thriller genre will certainly appreciate the many qualities this piece of literature has to offer.
