It's been three months since everyone under the age of fifteen became trapped in the bubble known as the FAYZ.
Three months since all the adults disappeared. GONE.
Food ran out weeks ago. Everyone is starving, but no one wants to figure out a solution. And each day, more and more kids are evolving, developing supernatural abilities that set them apart from the kids without powers. Tension rises and chaos is descending upon the town. It's the normal kids against the mutants. Each kid is out for himself, and even the good ones turn murderous.
But a larger problem looms. The Darkness, a sinister creature that has lived buried deep in the hills, begins calling to some of the teens in the FAYZ. Calling to them, guiding them, manipulating them.
The Darkness has awakened. And it is hungry.
The sequel was even better then Gone and I adored Gone.
This book takes off 3 months after Gone, and food i scarce and everyone is doing anything just to survive from day to day.
This book was just fantastic there was even more creepiness then in the first in the series with more mutated animals and kids.
I have one problem with this book though. There are so many characters that it's crazy so one second we'll be following Sam and then we'll be following different people for the next 4 chapters and then return to Sam, and since I like some characters better it it irritating that in one book I might only get their point of view for a couple of chapters total. On the other hand this is actually really great because you get to understand all the different characters and not just one protagonist or antagonist. You learn about all the other ones as well.
The pacing in this book was really fast I think everything that happend in this book was in a couple of days or something like that, and there was just something happening all the time.
I won't start to try and name all the characters and say my likes and dislikes because that would take up way too much time, but overall I like most of the characters and Drake is just creepy....
All in all this was a great sequel and it left me wanting to read the next one, which I did and I fell mostly the same and there will probably not be a review for that one, but I will post one for Plague once I read that.
