Kathy Reichs
Virals
The Virals series follows a group of teens who gain special abilities after exposure to an experimental virus. They use their new powers to solve mysteries, often involving scientific intrigue and danger. This young adult series blends science fiction with mystery, offering a fast-paced read.
The recommended reading order is Virals, Seizure, Code, Exposure, and Terminal. The short story collection, Trace Evidence, can be read after Seizure, as it provides additional context for the characters and events leading into Code.
The Virals series is set in the same universe as Kathy Reichs' Temperance Brennan novels. Tory Brennan, the main character in Virals, is the great-niece of forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan, and there are occasional references to the broader Brennan family.
As of my last update, there is no confirmed film or television adaptation of the Virals series.
