This Mortal Coil by Emily Suvada

4.0

---

In a near future, governments and countries no longer exist. Cartaxus, a corporation, has become the de facto government, and one of their primary businesses are apps that allow people to alter their genetic code. Catarina Agatta's father is a leading genetic coder, who is taken by Cartaxus to develop a vaccine for the deadly Hydra virus. Catarina finds herself uncovering long buried secrets when a Cartaxus soldier named Cole delivers a message from her father and sends her on a journey to unlock the much needed vaccine. Suvada makes the science approachable, while still feeling based in reality. Overall 4 out of 5.
