Dark Inside/Rage Within, by Jeyn Roberts

Simon & Shuster called me at work back in September and a woman asked if I wanted Jeyn Roberts to come to the school and talk. Sure I said, who is she? I bought the 2nd book of her set and read it, then found the 1st and read it; the last one has yet to be published. The books are set in Vancouver and involve a bunch of young people fighting against the evil from the centre of the earth; the big bad was realised by a bunch of earthquakes, and the bad guys are really really bad. They are super violent and everyone gets killed. All systems are down all across the continent, probably. I read them with enthusiasm but they are very dark and violent. I can't see any good things happening in the last book, but will read it just to see. She is doing fine as a new writer. The story is interesting and the settings are used very well.

I am almost done with the final installment of the trilogy, "Fury Rising" and its good.  It is self published though, strangely, and has a few typos and maybe some continuity issues.
