This is my first experience with Mr. Palmieri’s work and I had no idea what to expect. I have to admit that the
opening chapter made me think this was going to be a boring book.
Boy was I wrong!
After the first chapter, the book just keeps getting better and better. There were so many twists and unexpected
turns that I was literally trying to read faster to see what happened next.
Dr. Lloyd Copeland’s father committed suicide over a family curse. His research is all about finding a cure before this curse ruins his career and life. Testing lab mice with serums that Dr. Copeland has been working on
to find the cure for Dimintia, mice are suddenly dying. Was the serum bad?
In the midst of his research, he meets Erin through mutual friends. It turns out that Erin plays a big part in
this plot. As Dr. Copeland ascertains to get approval to test his serum on humans, it turns into this big conspiracy to sabotage his research. Will he be able to get his research right before the curse consumes him?
I have to say that I truly enjoyed this book. It was fast paced and had just the right amount of tension to make
you not want to put the book down. To me, this book is so much like reality and what can and does happen
in the real world. In the beginning Copeland was made out to be this sex addict that feared commitment. As
the story continues, we find out why he thinks and acts the way he does and by the end of the book so much is
brought to the surface that I was left saying…
“I didn’t see that coming!”
Characters were very relatable, the plot was fantastic, and I highly recommend you read this book!
