Book Rating

A story set in the late 2000's and nearing the turn of the century. A virus killed everyone containing the Y chromosome. A genetics company is working on creating the genome to bring men back, but it's been stolen and Athena is the only one who can get it back. This story is very well researched, nothing mentioned here is scientifically impossible with more developments. It is well written and easy to read and understand. With concepts and history that would be everyday knowledge in this fictional future there are Wikipedia pages within the book to explain, which is an amazing idea and a flip of what I have usually read where there is a lack of females.
But does Athena decide to bring men back or does she think the world is better without them?

Angel Louise (4 KP) rated Dying for a Living (Jesse Sullivan, #1) in Books

I started the dying for a living set on a whim as the first 3 books were done as a bundle.
I enjoyed the first 3 so much I HAD to purchase the rest to complete the series.

Jessie and Alice are definitely my favourite 2 in the book. Followed closely by Masie.
The story takes huge twists and turns and each event keeps you on your toes.

Being brutally honest I felt the start of book 1 to be quite slow, that's just my personal preference. However your able to gain insight regarding the lead character very early with extra snippets through the story.

I thoroughly enjoyed following Jessie's journey and was pleased to see she got her happy ending after all!

I will be reading all the books again in the future as I found it enjoyable and deeply thought provoking.
