This Mortal Coil is set in the future, when there has been a virus outbreak and humanity is hiding in bunkers. However, Catarina has a rare allergy meaning it’s impossible for her to join a bunker, and she discovers many secrets on the surface – maybe not everyone is exactly who they say they are.
This novel is science fiction with a touch of romance that kept me hooked at every turn of the page. I would compare it to the Prison Healer Trilogy, as they both feature girls fighting to survive in dystopian worlds.
Anyone from Year 7 up would enjoy this incredible read.
