About the Book:  
 
The infection wasn’t supposed to happen, but it did. The treatment was supposed to take care of it, but it didn’t. Then Dr. Josh Pearson discovers why—his patients, including the former President of the United States, have been dosed with a different strain of the original virus, one that is universally fatal. The only chance for survival is treatment with an experimental drug, but the manufacturer might already have discarded its supply.

As if treating the President of the United States isn’t stressful enough, the situation goes from bad to worse when Rachel Moore, a nurse Josh is falling in love with, falls ill. With the nation’s eyes on him, Josh must pull off a miracle to save a man who holds a good deal of power and the woman who holds his heart.

My Review

The underpinning of the book, a contagious disease that seems to be incurable, did not seem so far-fetched in today's world. With that being said I was really looking forward to reading this story. I thought it was a good read and really liked the conversations about the Lord. It lacked some of the suspense and intrigue I was hoping for. The characters were good; the writing seems like it could have been a bit more developed in some places. I don't want to spoil the story so I won't share some of those here. Overall, it was a good book--I just had hoped for some more of a thriller-type ride.

Thank you to Abingdon and NetGalley for a copy of this book--the opinions and thoughts are my own.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
