Deadly Genesis
by Heather Long
I received an eARC of this book from Barclay Publicity in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of this review.
Recently I have been on a superhero kick when it comes to books and the Boomers series delivers! Deadly Genesis by Heather Long is the latest installment of the series and focuses on the telepath Simon and Amanda aka Corkscrew who was rescued from R.E.X. at the end of [b:The Judas Contact|30743060|The Judas Contact (Boomers #1)|Heather Long|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1466774366s/30743060.jpg|51286549].
I’ve been curious about Simon since his involvement in the previous book. He was a wildcard character to me. Simon’s on the serious side, rarely cracks a joke or smiles, yet seems to be intuitive to everyone’s needs around him thanks to his ability. But what does he need? He rarely takes the time to care for himself, pouring his energy into his team and now Amanda. It’s endearing!
Amanda is so lost in this book. After reading the previous book and learning a little of what she was subjected to at R.E.X. I was astonished she wasn’t comatose. Instead she’s fighting and with Simon’s help she’s staying afloat. I felt for her and rooted for her to win!
This book delves into a little more of the series plot than the previous book. I feel that even though the books can be read as a standalone, they are much more enjoyable when read in order. (Personally I haven’t read the novella, but after reading this one, I plan to!) The Boomers have come to the past to stop the future they left from happening. There are some surprises and answers to their questions in this installment. Full of action and of course romance! While each book in the series focuses on a different Boomer, the other couples pop up throughout. I enjoyed the different chapters that featured Ilsa and Garrett or Rory and Michael.
Overall, I really enjoyed the book and finished it in one sitting. It’s a short, quick read, full of action, surprises, and romance. If you’re looking for a fun read, I highly recommend you pick it up!
