Overview
The Virals series follows Tory Brennan, fourteen-year-old great-niece of forensic anthropologist Tempe Brennan, as she and her friends on Loggerhead Island are transformed by an experimental strain of canine parvovirus that unlocks heightened senses and wolf-like instincts. Across five books, the "pack" hunts pirate treasure, decodes buried secrets, exposes a dangerous trial's fallout, and faces a rival pack determined to take their territory. Blending forensic science, mystery, and coming-of-age drama, this fast-paced young adult set is perfect for teen readers who love smart, twisty thrillers with a sci-fi edge and a strong sense of place.

About the Books
This five-book paperback collection brings together the complete Virals series, created by crime writer Kathy Reichs and co-written with her son Brendan Reichs for books three through five. The story begins with Virals, introducing Tory Brennan and her tight-knit circle of friends who discover their extraordinary new abilities after an accidental viral exposure on a secluded island off Charleston, South Carolina. In Seizure, the team races against time to solve a 300-year-old pirate legend tied to Anne Bonny in order to save their island research home from financial ruin. Code raises the stakes with a mysterious buried box and a shadowy Gamemaster orchestrating dangerous puzzles for the pack to solve. Exposure follows the tense aftermath of a high-profile trial and the unexplained disappearance of two local students, pulling Tory and her friends deeper into danger. The series concludes with Terminal, as a rival pack called the Trinity emerges with stronger, more volatile powers, forcing the Virals to defend their territory and their loyalty to one another. Throughout the series, Reichs draws on her real-world background in forensic science to ground the fantastical premise in credible detail, while the shifting alliances, puzzles, and physical transformations keep the pacing brisk. Fans of character-driven mysteries with a scientific hook will find this a satisfying, immersive set that rewards attentive reading from book to book.
