I had a feeling I got lost and had to catch up with the plot, but as you get further into the story, it all becomes clear and comes together nicely. It took me a little while to get into the story, as there are plenty of characters to keep up with, and the story initially felt a bit disjointed.

It's like an apocalyptic take on the serial killer thing, complete with almost half the United States falling victim to the proceedings… LIFE RAGE is NOT for the squeamish!”. We're introduced to people who may or may not be demons and some seriously hurting characters who are dealing with different levels of rage, anxiety, and depression. “Soares' debut novel is a blend of sexually-charged psychological, supernatural, and extreme horror.
