Tory Brennan, niece of acclaimed forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan (of the Bones novels and hit TV show), is the leader of a ragtag band of teenage "sci-philes" who live on a secluded island off the coast of South Carolina. When the group rescues a dog caged for medical testing on a nearby island, they are exposed to an experimental strain of canine parvovirus that changes their lives forever. As the friends discover their heightened senses and animal-quick reflexes, they must combine their scientific curiosity with their newfound physical gifts to solve a cold-case murder that has suddenly become very hot--if they can stay alive long enough to catch the killer's scent. Fortunately, they are now more than friends--they're a pack. They are Virals.

Virals is the first book in this trilogy. Full of action and adventure, this book is super gripping.

When Tory Brennan and her teenage friends (all boys), break into a animal preservation facility and rescue a dog that was caged for medical testing, they are infected by a type of canine parvovirus that is contagious even to humans. With heightened senses, the new pack must solve an old, unsolved murder that has now become very popular.

I loved all the characters but one stood out from the rest, Tory. I thought she was so passionate about solving the murder, even when the rest had given up. Good she did because it solved the mystery.

I loved everything except for this one thing, their powers come halfway through the book. They should not write about their powers on the blurb, it does make it seem more interesting but it ruins the surprise.

All in all this book is an exceptional read that will keep you forever wanting more!
