I honestly don't know how to write reviews, but I have recently been flying through books so I guess I will try. This was probably the best way the sequel could have gone. As I look back on reading the first book(looking back a whole 2 days) I find that just about everything I wanted to happen or didn't expect to happen, actually occurring in this book. It was written so well for the teen-ish to adult audience and also the apocalyptic, horror loving side of you with things like "his neck was a hole. the tubes of his throat spilled out" (not saying any names for spoilers sake) these and many others were the scenes that completely engrossed me and kept me from putting down the book. the only reason I am not giving this a 5 is because I was not completely shook after I read it, but I would probably put this(and the loners) in my top favorite books. all of this being said, I loved this book and would recommend it to anyone (who can handle a little... a lot of gore, inappropriate things, etc). Thank you for reading through my crappy review, and happy holidays:)

Book #110 Read in 2014
Quarantine 2: The Saints by Lex Thomas (YA)

This is a sort of modernized Lord of the Flies set in a high school. This book, the second in the series, picks up right where the first book ends so I recommend that they be read in order. Will and Lucy are trying to keep the Loners connected but their numbers have greatly dwindled and the teens are looking for other factions to join. The Saints are newcomers who quickly take control of the chaos in the high school. These books are full of action, humor and some graphic scenes but they will definitely keep readers engaged. I loved the first two books and have the third book in my TBR pile.
