"The fast-building suspense and creeping feeling of dread takes hold of you and doesn't let go." - Reader of Infected, the Shiners "I enjoyed the mystery, the conflicts, the intricate, and well thought out plot, and the friendship between Alex and Chris. It's young adult, and I would classify it as science fiction, with a hint of a horror vibe. Actually, the more I think about it, it would make for an excellent movie!" - Reader of Infected, The Shiners WINNER, Reader's Favorite Book Awards, 2015, Honorable Mention, YA scifi
