Rick Yancey
After the 1st wave, only darkness remains. 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'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'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's only hope for rescuing her brother--or even saving herself. But Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give up or to get up.

"Good - kept me interested and wanting me. Probably wouldn't re-read, but definitely not bad!"

"I'm not an avid reader on alien invasions, but this story captured my hopes of what humanity is and would be in times of need. You follow four people on their journey through what they believe is the end. But the end is what is unknown: Will they be the last, will there be more, when will it end, how will it end, alone, together?<br/><br/>Rick Yancey does an amazing job building a relationships with the characters for the reader. Within the first few chapters you are in love with the flawless and flawed characteristics of Cassie and her family. At times you are terrified for them and others you want to hit them with the book you are reading. (Possibly yelling at them, but not that I would know from experience.) <br/><br/>I recommend this book as a great read for any scifi geeks or even if you are just interested in getting your feet wet with this genre."
"I thought it was pretty slow at first but then it definitely picked up!"
