    About this audiobook

    The second novel in the Virals trilogy from #1 bestselling author and inspiration for the TV series Bones - Kathy Reichs!

    Ever since Tory Brennan and her friends rescued Cooper, a kidnapped wolf pup with a rare strain of canine parvovirus, they've turned from regular kids into a crime-solving pack! But now the very place that brought them together - the Loggerhead Island Research Institute - is out of funding and will have to shut down. That is, unless the Virals can figure out a way to save it!

    So when Tory learns of an old Charleston legend about a famous she-pirate, Anne Bonney, whose fortune was never found, she can't believe her luck - buried treasure is exactly what she needs to save the Institute on Loggerhead! Trouble is, she and her friends aren't the only ones looking for it. And this time, the Virals' special powers may not be enough to dig them out of trouble . . .

      A solid book. Most definatly geared toward the young adult audience, but enjoyable for adults as well. The characters are complex and the pirate treasure plot line was a lot of fun. The take on 'werewolves' (though it isn't quite that) is interesting, and probably one of the more realistic that I've read.

      I'd recommend this book to people who enjoy urban fantasy and young adult fiction.
    • 4/5
      I had to put down the audio version and pick up the hard back because there's something I love about Reichs' style! Having followed the Temperance story from almost the beginning, I'm always curious how far fact and plausibilty scale in the books and where the magic actually begins, but I love the feel of the story. The characters are fun and the story exciting!
    • 5/5
      It's interesting to see how the kids learn and adjust to use their powers and I loved how they used their cool new powers to go on an adventure and find the pirate treasure. I thought that was pretty awesome. I would've been terrified, going through all those booby traps and the darkness and whatnot. That's pretty scary but is certainly a great adventure.

      Second book in the Virals series, Tory Brennan and friends are still learning how to deal with their new powers. When they get some bad news, the LIRI centre may be shut down and they all could be faced with moving away, they become desperate and determined. Tory figures out a plan to find enough money to save the centre and keep her pack of friends together.This was not quite as good as the first book and a little far fetched but still a good read.
    • 3/5
      Pirates. Aaargh. Didn't they just have this on an episode of "Bones"? Anyway, would like to see more explanations of Tori and company's new abilities. Most of the time, this felt like Goonies to me.
    • 5/5
      read over 300 pages in first day its darn good! Just finished 9pm 2/17. this book kicks ass! I just love mystery but then you got the scifi bits thrown in with the way the pack was infected with a virus that gives them wolf like powers! And the treasure hunt is what every adventurer dreams of! I wish I could have been Tory finding the treasure and saving the day!
    • 3/5
      I enjoyed Virals and was looking forward to Seizure. And while the book wasn't bad, it wasn't really good or remarkable. Maybe I'm getting tired of weird supernatural YA books or treasure hunting doesn't do it for me, but this book wasn't as good as I'd hoped. I'll probably read more in this series if Reichs writes them, but I won't be waiting around.
    • 5/5
      The Virals are back yet again. Tory, Hi, Shelton, and Ben are drawn together by their powers, each individual trying to understand them. Things go well for a little while until they get some bad news. Each of their parents works in a lab on Loggerhead Island and that lab is about to be shut down, consequently leaving all their parents out of work. This means they will have to separate, each member of the closely knit Viral pack will have to fend for his or her own. Tory knows she can't survive on her own, the outburst of power that comes from within her at random times is too much for one person to deal with. Desperate to find a way to keep the group together, they set out after the legendary treasure of Anne Bonny. Dodging booby traps, interpreting riddles, "borrowing" old maps, and avoiding gunshots is part of the deal. But the Virals grit their teeth, running into dead end after dead end but still finding the secret passage that will lead them to the next clue. Finally they discover the treasure and save the lab, but not without hardship. I liked this book even more than the first one. As a fan of Indiana Jones, Tomb Raider, and many more adventurous heroes, I shivered in delight as they escaped smoothly from trap after trap. I especially admire the lifelikeness of the characters. On my journey with the Virals, I felt the pain when they ran into a dead end, and the jubilance when they found the booty. One of the best parts of the book was the witty dialog and friendly teasing the characters encounter on a daily basis. Also, the book seemed very modern to me and I felt like this adventure could actually happen in real life, as if an old pirate map would suddenly call to me and lead me on a fantastic adventure. I enjoyed this read a lot.
    • 4/5
      I think Virals is rapidly shaping up to be one of my favourite YA series to date. This second installment - which takes place about four months after the first - takes the firm foundation Reichs laid down in Virals and builds a wonderfully exciting new adventure smack on top of it.The Viral pack - Tory, Shelton, Hi, Ben and their wolfdog Coop - are still attempting to figure out their new abilities when they get shocking news. Their beloved Loggerhead Island, home of the LIRI institute and a beautiful nature reserve, is to be sold off as the university budget is squeezed. Faced with the prospect of her friends being split apart and moved across the continent, Tory clutches wildly at the local legend of Anne Bonny. A fearsome flame-haired lady pirate, Bonny is rumoured to have buried her treasure somewhere in the area. Would it be enough to save Loggerhead? Can she persuade the pack that this isn't just a wild goose chase? And can they solve the mystery in time to stop the sale of the island - and before anyone else finds out what they're up to?I loved this book. I found the relationships between the four human Virals absolutely spot-on for a group of teenagers - the idle banter, Hi's teasing wit, the slight attraction between Tory and Ben that simmers away gently - and enjoyed the continued exploration of the new pack bond that cements them together. It's great to have four such distinct and resourceful characters to root for, each with their own strengths, weaknesses and quirky idiosyncracies. The plot has a real Indiana Jones/Pirates of the Caribbean feel to it this time, with riddles to solve, a trail to follow, and a genuinely nail-biting underground set-piece that had me glued breathlessly to the pages for well over an hour. Like last time, there are dangerous people hot on the pack's heels, and in true crime thriller style Reichs throws out plenty of red herrings to stop the reader working everything out too quickly. I sincerely hope there's more still to come for the Virals - roll on book three!
    • 3/5
      Quick, easy read with an entertaining, yet predictable plot. I enjoyed reading this book more than the first, yet I felt more uncomfortable by the stereotypes portrayed in this book. The author makes obvious stereotypes about African Americans and the wealthy.
    • 4/5
      Not very believable plot but still entertaining with good use of the Charleston history and environs integrated with the sparse information that is available about the famous lady pirate, Anne Bonny. Characters are rather Hardy Boyish with TV Bones like capabilities colored by shades of SciFi as the viral effect evolves.
    • 4/5
      The pack is together for their second adventure. Together they figure out a few more details regarding their flares but they still can't control them and definitely haven't found a cure. When funding for LIRI stops, the Virals all face the possibility that they will be separated permanently as their parents will have to move to find new jobs. Tory has the brilliant idea of finding the buried treasure hidden by Anne Bonney, and the book reads a little bit like a kid version of Angels and Demons with all kinds of clues hidden in various places. It's a quick adventure, sure to enthrall those who love the idea of treasure hunting. I'm definitely looking forward to book three!
