Synopsis: An alien plague. A sixteen-year-old girl. A fight to save the world.
When a rare meteor shower unleashes a mind-altering infection, the people Alex loves begin to change. They’re smarter, faster, emotionless, and they have a plan. One that doesn’t include her.
Guided by cryptic clues left behind by her deceased father, Alex follows a trail of increasingly shocking discoveries. Earth’s history isn’t what she learned in school, and a new hive mind threatens to rewrite the future.
Alex is a fighter, but pursued by both friends and an unknown enemy, it will take everything she has to fulfill her destiny. Desperate to save her little brother, she flees to the mountains surrounding her home, where the only chance for humanity has lain hidden for thousands of years.

My Review: When a virus hits Washington during a meteor shower, many people get sick with flu like symptoms, some just get sick, some die and the virus rapidly spreads around the world.
The story tells of a 16 year old girl Alex who ends up on a journey to find the cure for the virus. Her mum gets sick so Alex is left to look after her mum and younger brother Jake.
Needing food shopping Alex goes to the grocery store and she meets a boy from school named Chris, he seems to be okay just like Alex and Jake. They talk for a while and they realise how many people actually got sick.
When the sick ones start to get better they all act strangely, Alex finds a book that was left to her by her dad who somehow knew about the virus arriving on the meteor shower, with the help of Chris, Jake and their loyal dog Baxter Alex solves the riddle in the book and in her dreams which lead her out of town to her dads friend who tells them about the secret society that her dad was in, he also tells Alex how she is supposed to go about curing the world of the virus.
The problem in before leaving for her dad friends house her mum injects Jake with the virus and he starts to get sick and while they are trying to find the right spot they get ambushed and Chris gets shot, leaving them behind Alex goes to great lengths to fulfil her destiny and cure the world.
The ending was great and I am curious as to what happens next, I cannot wait to get started on Heritage.
