Review: Plague by Michael Grant

Plague (Gone, #4)
Plague by Michael Grant
It's been eight months since all the adults disappeared. GONE. They've survived hunger. They've survived lies. But the stakes keep rising, and the dystopian horror keeps building. Yet despite the simmering unrest left behind by so many battles, power struggles, and angry divides, there is a momentary calm in Perdido Beach. But enemies in the FAYZ don't just fade away, and in the quiet, deadly things are stirring, mutating, and finding their way free. The Darkness has found its way into the mind of its Nemesis at last and is controlling it through a haze of delirium and confusion. A highly contagious, fatal illness spreads at an alarming rate. Sinister, predatory insects terrorize Perdido Beach. And Sam, Astrid, Diana, and Caine are plagued by a growing doubt that they'll escape - or even survive - life in the FAYZ. With so much turmoil surrounding them, what desperate choices will they make when it comes to saving themselves and those they love? Plague, Michale Grant's fourth book in the bestselling Gone series, will satisfy dystopian fans of all ages.
Published Apr 2011 in US
4th in Gone series, Fear comes out Apr 2012

My Review:
   This is another great installment in the Gone series. I enjoyed this one as much as the others, and Grant has an amazing thing going on here. It didn't feel like an in between or filler, it felt very much like he has a plot, and these kids have a story to tell.
  I wasn't expecting a lot of the twists that came up in here, and I don't know how it's going to effect the story overall, but I know that I can't wait to find out.                      
I'd love to hear what you think of my review and/or this book!
