Book Review- Partials By Dan Wells

Let me start off by saying wow I absolutely LOVED this book. The amount I love this book even surprises me. I honestly wasn’t sure if I was going to like Partials or not. The premise seemed to be a little more sci-fi then I tend to like, but I figured I would give it a shot and boy did it not disappoint. 
Partials is set in the year 2076. Humanity has all but been extinguished after the war with the Partials, engineered organic beings that appear to be human. The population has been reduced to tens of thousands by a weaponized virus that only a fraction of humans are immune. The survivors have come together at Long Island. Trying to pick up the pieces of what is left and too survive. The problem is no baby has been born immune in over a decade and time is running out. Kira is a sixteen year old girl who works in the Maternity ward trying to find a cure for the babies. When her best friend announces that she is pregnant it causes Kira to take a deeper look at the problem and try to find a cure before her friend’s baby is born. Little does she know that that deeper look will send her fleeing with the unlikeliest of allies and the answers are closer than anyone could believe. 
I found this book to be very fast paced. The world and character building were very believable. I felt myself being drawn into the world Dan Wells had created and I didn’t want to leave. Even when I got to the last page I wanted more of this awesome story. I loved Kira she was a strong girl who didn’t need someone to rescue her all the time. She could stand on her own two feet very well. The secondary characters were just as likeable and they weren’t weaklings either. 
My only problem was the story ended to soon I wanted more of it and I hope when book 2 comes out in the series we get answers to some of the questions we were left hanging with. I really enjoyed the scientific explanations throughout the story. Dan Wells get kudos for going deeper into the explanations then a lot of authors I have read lately who seemed to just graze the threshold. Overall a fantastic read and I cannot wait for the next one.
