With Lachlan on the run and a mutated strain of virus on the loose, it’s up to Cat to save everyone above ground. To put it quite simply: this book was SO good! I had a hard time putting it down and couldn’t wait to find out what misadventures Cat and her unlikely team got into. This was a book of answers, and I was pleased to learn more about Cat, her past, her family, and her motivations. I had a lot of questions coming out of This Mortal Coil, so I was happy to have some of those questions answered. The writing was beautiful in This Cruel Design, and the pace was quick. Cat raced against time in this book, which kept the storyline moving along swiftly. The plot is wicked cool in this series, and I really liked the direction This Cruel Design took. Cat’s backstory was a real bomb dropped, and I didn’t see it coming. The storyline between Cat and Cole continued to progress, though not without some tension. I’ll be curious to see where their relationship goes in the next book. The ending of the book was a whirlwind of fast-paced action. Sides were chosen, and not everyone made it out alive. The ending also left me eagerly anticipating the next book. At this point, I have no idea what’s going to happen next, but I can’t wait to find out! All of the characters in the book were delightfully written, unique and original. Some of the new characters, like Mato and Regina, added to the story nicely. Where there’s good, there’s bad, and Mato and Regina, both morally gray characters, were fun to get to know. Jun Bei’s story also ramped up in This Cruel Design. The more I learn about Jun Bei, the more I like her character. She has a streak of compassion but all the hardness of someone who’s had a really hard life. If you like science fiction, strong characters, and lots of action, I highly recommend you check out this wonderful series! Thank you to NetGalley for providing the Kindle version of this book in exchange for an honest review. Review: Addictive - If you read book 1 you know it’s based on questionable morality & ethically ambiguous science resulting in an unpleasant set of circumstances. I like the world building & the way the story explores the difficult questions. Such as how much genetic material warrants an evolution passed human & into another species? Should the public have the ability to self regulate their own genome? If not, How much should be regulated? This world is harsh & book 2 is ugly. Be warned there is no HEA here. In fact the entire time I read this I was physically tense 😬. I’ve never read a series in which I actively disliked the the characters but was fascinated with storyline prior to this series. I’ll continue the series. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #942,947 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #313 in Teen & Young Adult Mystery & Thriller Action & Adventure #318 in Teen & Young Adult Science Fiction Action & Adventure #437 in Teen & Young Adult Survival Stories | | Book 2 of 3 | Mortal Coil | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (387) | | Dimensions | 5.5 x 1 x 8.25 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | Grade level | 9 - 12 | | ISBN-10 | 1481496379 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1481496377 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 416 pages | | Publication date | December 10, 2019 | | Publisher | Margaret K.

Wow I really enjoy this 2nd book and I didn't think we will find out so much and still have have so much to learn. I do really like the Science, DNA and learn about different area of the virus. We learn that the virus was stop but a bigger virus is on it way and will kill everybody when it released. Also we learn some more about Cat learn and what happen with the 6 months of her life Cons; I really dont like the romance and both pairs are really annoying... For example Cole keep talking about their conversation to Anna but when Cat what answers it not my story to tell (no really 😑🤦‍♀️) Than Mato, I understand not telling everything about someone pass and sent want to force anything or decision but using pain to force information out the person you love --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/173162463-this-cruel-design-mortal-coil](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/173162463-this-cruel-design-mortal-coil) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
