Безсмертне життя Генрієтти Лакс. The Immortal Life Of Henrietta Lacks
Її звали Генрієтта Лакс, але вчені знають її як HeLa. Вона була бідною жінкою, яка працювала на тій же землі, що і її предки-раби, проте її клітини, взяті без дозволу, стали одним із найважливіших інструментів у медицині. Саме Генрієтта Лакс подарувала світові перші 'безсмертні' людські клітини — вони живі досьогодні, хоча їх власниця вже мертва понад 60 років.
Клітини HeLa стали життєво важливими для розробки вакцини проти поліомієліту, розкриття секретів раку, дослідження впливу на людський організм вірусів та наслідків дії атомної бомби; вони допомогли досягти успіхів у заплідненні in vitro, клонуванні й картографуванні генів. Вони купувалися й продавалися мільярдами, однак Генрієтта Лакс досі залишається маловідомою жінкою, похованою у безіменній могилі. Авторка книги Ребекка Склут розповідає про долю членів родини Лакс і тих безіменних афроамериканців, яких залучали до експериментів, не особливо переймаючись етичними та юридичними нормами. Книга 'Безсмертне життя Генрієтти Лакс' понад шість років трималася в списку бестселерів The New York Times. За нею телеканал HBO зняв однойменний серіал із Опрою Вінфрі в ролі Дебори Лакс.SPECIFICATIONS:

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love.
I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.

Main Characters: Huntyr and Wolf
•
I couldn’t wait to read this book; there was so much hype about it! And there was no doubt why. I fell in love with the characters and the plot itself. This book is mainly plot driven more than friction driven but it’s easy to follow along with. The characters are fun, easily understood. The main setting is at an academy where both the main characters are going through trials and building strength for the final test, The Transcendent. There are fantastic side characters as well. I loved the camaraderie between Huntyr and her friends. But we don’t like Lanson. 😆
We do have some plot twists that come into play throughout the book. Secrets and betrayal to be seen. I did adore Wolf and Huntyr’s relationship. It was a classic slow burn trope. They didn’t hit it off fast, but in time their feelings grew. I loved their banter, so sexy. Wolf is your next book boyfriend; Huntyr is your next vampire assassin independent bad-a*s female. Themes include loyalty, trust, self-discovery, a true slow burn romance. Side note: book ends on a angsty cliffhanger!
