Really quick read. Loved the characters and the diversity. The plot was well developed and I enjoyed learning about the secrets of the tox with the main character. Honestly a good young adult horror novel, had me creeped out for a bit. Wish it hadn't left on a cliff hanger though. <Spoiler>

I really really hope they made it to her dad. Is there a cure? Or is getting the parasite out what cures them?? Will this be a scandal involving the military as well for putting navy and civilian kids at risk and killing most of them??? I need answers! 

<Spoiler>

Would for sure recommend this as an intro to thriller/horror for teens wanting to get out of young adult. Fantastic book.

loved the concept, but I didn't connect with any of the characters and I just didn't feel immersed in their world. I really wanted to like this one but it just didn't work for me.

A fast paced read with an interesting premise, but the rushed ending and lackluster romance lets it down.

I got really roped into this book while reading it. I couldn't put it down, and it kept me up at night.

The ending was very anticlimactic, and the desciptions are quite graphic
