This book was a super fast read for me. Sarah Taylor joins St. Ambrose as a sophomore, and she knows she will be an outcast. She wears shabby all black clothing. She is hiding a big secret-she tried to kill herself 2x. Now she is on lithium, but she doesn't like taking it.
Greta Stanhope is the official mean girl, and will do anything to hurt Sarah. She also hurts Sarah's roommate, athlete Ellen "Strots" Strotsberry, who takes Sarah under her wing, telling her not to give Greta the satisfaction she craves.
The married Hot RA, Nick is in Greta's sights, too. But Sarah hallucinates that he wants her. Eventually, tragedy strikes, and not just once.
This is a sad and all too real thriller, showing how fragile teen girls and their egos are, and how bullying must stop.… (altro)

This prequel is the start of Emily's adventure (E-Virus: Emily's Journey) to her Pharmaceutical Scientist of an Uncle for The Diary of the Modern Day Girl series. It's all about a young lady, (she's 25), who looks like a teenager, I guess. She's a marine biologist, who's socially inept, trying her best to survive the virulent effects of what's called the E-Virus outbreak.

On her journey, Emily meets up with an awkward guy, who'd prefer to be a hermit. Together they make their way towards her Uncle's lab that's miles away. There re many dangers, including a new species of humans, but it's the survivors who aren't infected that bring the story.

E-Virus, by Jessica Ward, is interesting, but it needs a little work. There were various errors throughout the read. Nothing that hurt honestly, but the story itself just wasn't enough for me to want to purchase the follow-up books. I do love the covers though; you know how much I'm a cover junkie. This one is just a slipper, but if you click on the book cover, you'll see the character, and author, has a thing for shoes. It's cool- very original for a horror story, and since it's a gal lead, it rather fits.

So yeah, check out the prequel, E-Virus: Emily's Journey, and see if it's for you. I enjoyed it, but I'm off to the next read!
