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.

"It's an action packed YA novel,it stands out!"

Jonathan Kent

"Does this book get any better? I’m about 100 pages in, on the second character’s perspective, and I can’t stop thinking about the line, “If you can’t trust anyone than you can trust no one.” Am I just stupid or is that line the most redundant thing ever?"

RB (evangeline fox’s version)

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

"The first book is the best in the series. After this it gets a bit weird. "

"This was good I heard it was boring and the characters weren’t good but I can disagree I loved this and I’m on the second one I finished this in a week"
