In this one we are learning why these kids are called the virals. Their pursuit for justice while making adolescent mistakes that either saved their lives or put them in the line of danger.

This was a great book on the power of storytelling and ancestral knowledge. The MC had a hard time dealing with the death of her mother and learned to be careful about what you wished for because they can carry very real and dangerous consequences.

It was thrilling at some point, but there were some shocking parts, however, some of the plot points lost me and I found it hard to follow.
