A review by rakoerose
This Mortal Coil by Emily Suvada

5.0

me: sees a book with transhumanism/coding/future technology at the forefront + viruses
me: nice

My only tiny, tiny gripe with this was that the relationship between Cole and Cat kicked off really fast but! It is nicely explained later in the story as to why their connection is so strong and I’ve grown to definitely ship the two together. V cute.

This entire book kept my heart pounding and I’m going to have to hunt for the next book asap so I can find out what happens next! This reads a lot like a TV show with how fast paced it is; I actually think it could be adapted and be fairly successful if done right. The twisted immoral characters combined with virus stuff reminded me slightly of the show Helix - which is another one of my faves. Lachlan in particular is one of my new favorite antagonists because I apparently love evil characters with twisted moral codes. Bc I can see his point, but his methods are wild.

Anyway, this book really hit a lot of the checkmarks of things I enjoy; if you’re interested, check it out!
