Shay and Kai fall in love laughably quickly, and the plague’s origins take a back seat to navel-gazing and improbable plot twists. Survivors are now being hunted, and Callie is consumed by the need for revenge. Shay gets sick and survives, but survival comes with creepy abilities. Luckily, Kai and his mother, an epidemiological researcher, are immune. It’s insta-sparks for Kai and Shay, but there’s no time for character development, because the epidemic, dubbed the Aberdeen flu, starts killing off friends and neighbors. Enter Sharona “Shay” McAllister, who contacts Kai with information about Callie’s disappearance (Shay conveniently has a photographic memory-it’s been a year, after all). Being a ghost is frustrating, but Callie’s determined to find her family, including her half brother, Kai, who has been obsessed with locating her after she disappeared a year ago. Now she’s a ghost witnessing the spread of a sickness that is soon let loose into the wider population of Scotland and beyond. In the opening pages, 12-year-old Callie Tanzer is being experimented on by scientists in biohazard suits in an underground bunker. An unusual plague sweeps across Scotland in this trilogy opener.
