If you loved how David and Will had to form the Loners and scrap through those brutal cafeteria food drops while rival cliques carved up the hallways in Quarantine, you’ll tear through Gone. When everyone over fifteen vanishes, Sam Temple and the remaining kids are trapped under an impenetrable dome, forming factions, rationing dwindling supplies, and fighting to survive as power struggles—and terrifying new abilities—raise the stakes with every chapter.

Miss the raw, bloody edge of the hallway wars and the split-second choices David and Will make to keep the Loners alive? The Knife of Never Letting Go delivers that same nerve-fraying intensity. Todd and Viola flee a town where every thought is audible and ruthlessness rules, and their journey forces them into the kind of hard lines—and harrowing confrontations—you felt in Quarantine, where survival can mean crossing moral boundaries.

If the gang-dominated high school in Quarantine—with territories, uneasy truces, and trades for essentials—hooked you, Variant hits the same nerve. Benson Fisher arrives at a locked-down academy where there are no teachers, only students split into rival groups enforcing brutal rules. As he navigates alliances and discovers the school’s chilling secrets, you’ll feel the same dread and tension that came with the Loners trying to outmaneuver other cliques for survival.

Crave the breathless pace of Quarantine, where every supply drop and corridor clash could flip the power balance for David and Will? Unwind rockets forward with the same momentum. Connor, Risa, and Lev are slated for “unwinding” and must stay one step ahead of capture through shelters, black markets, and betrayals—each narrow escape landing like those sudden, violent shifts in the school’s pecking order.

If the bloody brawls, improvised weapons, and unforgiving consequences in Quarantine stuck with you, Battle Royale turns that intensity up to eleven. A ninth-grade class is forced onto an island to fight to the last survivor; Shuya Nanahara and his classmates navigate shifting alliances, brutal ambushes, and explosive collars in scenes that echo the vicious, leave-no-survivors clashes you saw when the Loners faced rival gangs.
