It was fine mostly. It was great a few times. 
The relationship between the siblings was something.. maybe just spoil yourself on their outcome before you get too invested. 
I probably won't read the rest of the series because from reviews it looks like my least favorite part of the book, good god how many times do we need to go through security details and mentioning the specific test each time, has an even larger part.

challenging dark informative tense fast-paced

5.0

This series was my introduction to Mira Grant, and now I have multiple shelves dedicated solely to this incredibly prolific (and epidemiologically well-informed) author. Also she's a delightful individual.

Moderate: Incest

Incest doesn't show up in the first one, and isn't teeeeechnically incest since the characters are not biologically related, but the fact that it's one of the healthier relationships in the setting is much more damning of the setting than it is an endorsement of adopted siblings getting intimate. I didn't think it was done in a gross way, but anybody with personal incest trauma absolutely needs to know going in that it's gonna come up.

zombies, extremely good and sound virology,

several main characters including the main pov protagonist die, also there's hints confirmed in later books that the two main characters are in an incestuous relationship
