Book 10: The Only Ones. This book was dark, not quite too dark for me but close. It takes place in a near future pandemic-ravaged dystopia where some people are immune from diseases for reasons no one knows. These "hardy" genes are sought after and one way to make income is to sell your genetic material. Our female protagonist, who has a very flat affect, does this and things go in a weird way. With a more emotive narrator this would have been unreadable. As it was, it was tough but good.
