A Quirk of Destiny (Quirk of Destiny Book 1) by Catherine Greenall – Review by Darla Yocom

A Quirk of Destiny: Ignoramus et Ignorabimus by Catherine Greenall

This is book one of this Sci-Fi series and exceeded my expectations on all fronts!

Catherine Greenall does a tremendous job w/ the creation and building of the intriguing multi-faceted characters within this book. I love a great dystopian twist and the dramatic build up had me on the edge of my seat. Normally I would hate to read a book with a cliffhanger, but I’m convinced that book number two will be even better than the first.

I think the author’s scientific background enhances her ability to create an extremely convincing scientific plot within this story. Science and greed pits society against those who have a bit too much power, and it has all gone straight to their heads. The main character, Calum works for the Dept of Food and Environment as a scientist, testing the safety of food related technology. He begins to investigate strange happenings that he believes has a scientific reason behind them. Soon, he finds the world in a full-blown epidemic that quickly overwhelms the world. Calum believes he may have uncovered the truth and soon takes those immune to the questionable contagions under his wing to embark on one heck of an adventure.

This is a quick paced read and was entertaining from page one.

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars. If I could give this a higher “grade”, I would.

I think folks will enjoy this read and find themselves engrossed in a new series!
