Things are getting real now. Simon Masters is an incredibly strong telepath and the only thing keeping Amanda Kincaid from destroying friends, foes and herself. While he is distracted by that the Boomers and the Infinity Heroes are discovering new enemies and new dangers. Deadly Genesis will take you on an incredible ride of intrigue, love and betrayal. X-Men eat your heart out. Bring on the next book!

I received an eARC of this book from Barclay Publicity in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of this review.
Recently I have been on a superhero kick when it comes to books and the Boomers series delivers! Deadly Genesis by Heather Long is the latest installment of the series and focuses on the telepath Simon and Amanda aka Corkscrew who was rescued from R.E.X. at the end of [b:The Judas Contact|30743060|The Judas Contact (Boomers #1)|Heather Long|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1466774366s/30743060.jpg|51286549].
I’ve been curious about Simon since his involvement in the previous book. He was a wildcard character to me. Simon’s on the serious side, rarely cracks a joke or smiles, yet seems to be intuitive to everyone’s needs around him thanks to his ability. But what does he need? He rarely takes the time to care for himself, pouring his energy into his team and now Amanda. It’s endearing!
Amanda is so lost in this book. After reading the previous book and learning a little of what she was subjected to at R.E.X. I was astonished she wasn’t comatose. Instead she’s fighting and with Simon’s help she’s staying afloat. I felt for her and rooted for her to win!
This book delves into a little more of the series plot than the previous book. I feel that even though the books can be read as a standalone, they are much more enjoyable when read in order. (Personally I haven’t read the novella, but after reading this one, I plan to!) The Boomers have come to the past to stop the future they left from happening. There are some surprises and answers to their questions in this installment. Full of action and of course romance! While each book in the series focuses on a different Boomer, the other couples pop up throughout. I enjoyed the different chapters that featured Ilsa and Garrett or Rory and Michael.
Overall, I really enjoyed the book and finished it in one sitting. It’s a short, quick read, full of action, surprises, and romance. If you’re looking for a fun read, I highly recommend you pick it up!

Simon, a telepath, is stretched to his limits trying to contain Amanda's fragile grip on reality. Corkscrew, AKA Amanda, is still suffering from the botched experiments that she was subjected to whilst kidnapped. She gradually comes back to reality but the least provocation can shatter her grip and send her spiralling back into the murky depths of insanity.
We also get to see the continuing relationship (and battle of stubborn wills) between Aurora and Michael. She is a determined, single minded leader, willing to do anything for her team. He is a possessive, precise strategist who wants to keep her safe! Take about sparks and fireworks! Add in unexpected twists, treason and treachery and this book is chock full of adventure.
This book is fast paced, sci fi and paranormal, superhuman/hero adventure with a healthy does of red hot passion between our lead characters. There is a strongly crafted, if slightly skewed from reality, world created in these books and I love the insertion of time travel in these books. It just adds another dash of fantasy. This series has wormed its way into my heart and the snappy, witty banter between team-mates and lovers is brilliant.
This will not disappoint!!!!
