Of Starlight and Plague by Beth Hersant

  Title: Of Starlight and Plague Author: Beth Hersant Genre: Science Fiction/ Horror Published: August 28, 2021 by Troubador Publishing I received a copy through NetGalley. After losing his daughter to rabies Dr. Pickman becomes determined to find a cure. Instead he created a new strain of the virus that is a lot more dangerous. As the new disease spreads we follow what people will do to survive.  This was a harrowing story of survival against a disease taking over the population. It includes a great mix of science fiction and horror. The creation and spread of the disease is covered with great detail and was heart pumping and exciting. There was a lot of heart in the story as well with what the characters must face. I would have liked some more time spent on character development. The experimentation on animals was really hard to read.  However, it had such a great premise and the plot was really well crafted. Overall, this was a great disease outbreak story that is worth checking ou
