The Storm [The Rain #2]
by Virginia Bergin

Synopsis:

"I'll tell you a weird thing about apocalypses - a thing I didn't even know until I was in one: they seem pretty bad, don't they? Well, take it from me: they can always get worse."

Three months after the killer rain first fell, Ruby is beginning to realise her father might be dead . . . and that she cannot survive alone. When a chance encounter lands her back in the army camp, Ruby thinks she is safe - at a price. Being forced to live with Darius Spratt is bad enough, but if Ruby wants to stay she must keep her eyes - and her mouth - shut. It's not going to happen. When she realizes what is going on - the army is trying to find a cure by experimenting on human subjects - Ruby flips out . . . and makes an even more shocking discovery: she's not useless at all. The Storm begins . . .

I literally finished the first book to this, The Rain, yesterday, and it was so freaking good that I'm already in desperate need of the sequel! The Rain was really dark and intense, and so frightening in places, but that's what made it so fantastic, and I'm dying (Ruby would tell me off for that turn of phrase) to read this second instalment. If the cover is anything to go by, I'm also thinking that my suspicions about Ruby are correct, and if anything, I need to see if I'm right!
I really can't wait to get this on my shelves. I'm going to London later today and I think this is going to have to be on my purchase list while I'm away!
