Blurb: 
This contemporary horror novel is set in Chicago and Los Angeles. Like many aging baby-boomers, Joyce Lackey hadn't given much thought to her future. So when she's forced into an early retirement and her life goes to pieces, the future begins to look grim...until the X-Gen Agency calls her with an offer that seems too good to be true. Not only do they offer her a new life, they offer her the one thing she thought she couldn't ever have again: her youth.

Regeneration is well crafted and highly readable, but if you're not prepared for a story about a group of people who aren't particularly admirable, then don't even bother. There's no happily-ever-after to the romance and, by the end, there's not even a glimmer of hope for Joyce's future. This isn't an uplifting book by any stretch. However if you like well-written horror, and you can find it in something other than raging blood beasts, then Regeneration may well be exactly what you need. Well worth the time.
