Aries,
Clementine, Mason and Michael have survived the first wave of the apocalypse
that wiped out most of the world’s population, and turned many of the rest into
murderous Baggers. Now, they’re hiding out in an abandoned house in Vancouver
with a ragtag group of surviving teens, and trying to figure out their next
move.
Aries is trying to lead, but it’s hard to be a leader when there are no easy answers, and every move feels wrong. Clementine is desperate to find her brother Heath, but it’s impossible to know where he’d be, even if he is still alive. Michael is still haunted by the memories of his actions during his harrowing struggle to survive. And Mason is struggling with something far worse: the fear that he may be a danger to his friends.
As the Baggers begin to create a new world order, Aries, Clementine, Mason and Michael will have to trust and rely on each other in order to survive. (Goodreads)

Dark inside, the first in the series, is
dark, twisted, and undeniably brilliant. Rage within is more of the same stuff.
Carrying on from where dark inside left off, there was none of the over common
curse of the second book. The plot was gripping, memorable and unpredictable. In every few
chapters is the viewpoint of Nothing, this is the evil that resides in all the
Baggers. It raises a lot of questions as to what or who it is. The characters
know just as little as we do.
I enjoyed the four different viewpoints in this book. Everyone has a story to tell. Each with their own horrors and secrets, and I wish more books did this. Mason's view was so much more interesting this time around. He battles a lot with himself and his hold on his sanity and you feel like you should do something about it to help him. Aries is a leader and being one has its consequences. She has to weigh the options of each of their decisions and make sure they're the right ones. They don't always go as planned that's for sure. Clementine is still as determined as ever to save her brother Heath, and I rather loved that about her. People lose hope in a post-apocalyptic world, but she holds on to the positive and it moves her further ahead. Michael on the other hand, is still the cowardice, but he is beginning to redeem himself for the better.
