After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one.Now, it&#8217;s the dawn of the 5th wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside, killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth&#8217;s last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker. Beguiling and mysterious, Evan Walker may be Cassie&#8217;s only hope for rescuing her brother &#8211; or even saving herself. But Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give up or get up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Personally, I don&#8217;t usually like post &#8211; alien apocalyptic novels, but this one had me hooked from the start. It&#8217;s slightly predictable, but the big plot twists come at you like a curve ball. It reminds me a little of The Host by Stephanie Meyer but it&#8217;s not exactly like it. \u00a0There are things in this story that makes it unique from anything else. This is the first installment of the series.<\/p>\n<p>Like what you read?
