Seizure (Virals, #2)

by Kathy Reichs

[tellemonstar]

Seizure was a fun adventure – how many people haven’t thought of going on a treasure hunt at least once in their lifetime. The pirates were a great way of drawing you into the story, and are in keeping with the history of Charleston and North Carolina.

The Virals get up to just as much mischief as they did in the previous books, although there is somewhat less shooting involved. A lot of night-time adventures and narrowly avoiding getting grounded – again.

The teens are still fairly normal teens despite what they have been through together and it was nice to see that. There are a lot of YA novels lately that seem to have anyone with even the slightest of superpowers be either completely oblivious to that fact for most of their lives then accept it like they always had their superpowers, or go completely the opposite direction. The Virals manage to have a freak-out about their newly acquired powers, but also accept that they can’t do anything about it, whether or not they want the powers, without going overboard.

All in all Seizure was a good YA mystery. The science that was in it was nicely explained so that even if you don’t have a real science brain, you can understand it. The mystery was well-plotted and interesting and the adventure was fun.
