SPOILER ALERT!

Human Instincts

Human Instincts - Ioana Visan
My rating’s more of a 3.5 because:
Everybody loves a good apocalypse and I’m no exception!
There was a female lead who, if not exactly capable of kicking ass, was a leading geneticist– brains over brawn any day!
The freaky way the vaccine changed them all was amazing-no death causing viruses or flesh eating zombies, yet horrific in its own way.
Prison takeovers are the scariest things ever and the author combined it with a post apocalyptic scenario!
The ever present threat of the convicts getting to our heroine was sufficient to keep me reading .
I loved the fact that the author didn’t even need to show much violence to keep the readers hooked– she just let us imagine what “could” happen, if they got to her.
