Contagion, the first book in Teri Terry's Dark Matter series
‏I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book so I could give an honest review.

In Teri Terry's Contagion, Kai's sister, Callie, is missing. She disappeared a year ago and Kai is beginning to lose hope Callie will ever be found. That is until he receives a call from Shay, who is most likely the last person to see Callie before she disappeared.

With the help of Shay, Kai seeks the truth about Callie's disappearance. Their search takes them through areas affected by a painful and contagious epidemic, an epidemic that mimics the flu, and which almost no one survives.

While the description presents a typical lost child/search storyline, the book is more than that. Notice the epidemic? It is more than a common epidemic.

The chapters are short and are time-stamped which ensures the reader knows the timeline events occurred. The story is presented from Callie and Shay's perspectives. Some reviewers on Goodreads commented they were confused in the beginning but, after reading a few chapters, everything made sense.

Contagion is the first book in Teri Terry's Dark Matter trilogy. The complete trilogy was released in the UK and the 1st book has been finally released in the USA! Deception (book 2) and Evolution (book 3) are available for purchase from the UK.

This is a sweeping novel about a TB hospital Louisville, Kentucky, which takes place in 1929 during the height of the epidemic, and the man who brought both his past, his faith and his music to treating his patents.

Awesome
I am just back from seeing this movie and I've got to say I'm in love even more. The only reason it didn't get a 10 was because it literally skimmed the aids epidemic I'm sure more could have done here but it still had me crying (well bawling), laughing and signing!
