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.
