Code by Kathy and Brendan Reichs is the third book in the Virals series. It continues to follow Tori, Hi, Shelton, and Ben, teens infected by a hybrid parvo virus that gives them some very wolf like abilities. The books starts with a mysterious figure burying a box. Flash forward as the Virals go on a search of a geocache and find a puzzle box inside which gives them clues to another geocache.
At the second geocache the Virals learn this is not a innocent game. Someone calling themselves the Gamemaster has rigged a deadly scavenger hunt. The Virals must solve the clues in order to stop the Gamemaster from killing innocent people.
On top of dealing with the Gamemaster, Chance Claybourne is out of the asylum and back at school, and he is hinting to Tori that he knows her secret. Plus, Ben has been acting strangely and more moody than ever.
This book is definitely action packed, and will not leave you bored, even if there are a couple of predictable turns during the storyline. Here is my feeling on Tori, you know those memes with Kirk and Spock that have Spock telling Kirk don't do the thing and Kirk is like I'm doing the thing, that is exactly what Tori is like with everyone. She is extremely reckless, and at times boarding on having no sense of self-preservation. Hi, Shelton, and even Ben are so much more rational in their decision making, and yet, they seem to constantly go along with her reckless ideas.
Overall, I enjoy these books. They don't leave you bored, and will have a few good twist along the way. I just wish the characters would make better decisions at times.
