The Secret Humankind: An Urban Fantasy Thriller by Gloria OliverMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
4.5 stars
This is a book that is really hard to put down! It's a different kind of book for me in some ways, in others it's not. I got a bit of an X-Files vibe from this book and I really enjoyed it!
Julia Xero is an orphan who's faced more adversities in life than she should have. She has a roommate who is a model and whom I believe uses Julia. When an opportunity for a new job comes to light, Julia is ready for a change. She's interviewing for a cleaning job but not your typical cleaning job. It's a crime scene clean up gig. Not many people could endure such a job and her interview was pretty grueling to make sure she could make the cut.
Things start out as great as they could for someone cleaning up crime scenes, but then one night, a very strange call comes in. Life will never be the same after that! Not to mention, Julia learns that she's been implanted with a sensor that could cause her carotid artery to explode. No worries, right?!?!
There are many interesting characters and lots of action in this book. I feel like it's maybe geared more towards young adults but as a more mature adult, I enjoyed this too! I'm looking forward to the next book!
