Found myself walking alongside characters to find food and shelter and feeling just as disturbed trying to figure out how to distinguish the enemy from other humans.


Their journey was a little like "Revolution," "The Walking Dead," and "The Road" woven into a teenage tapestry of action, adventure, and the power of perseverance. Cared about the characters, enjoying alternating viewpoints and narration by Cassie and other character (no spoilers). Writing style is thoughtful, smart, and insightful. The plot is layered with well thought out details feels like peeling an onion instead of gliding the surface of most successful dystopian trilogies. Stealthy and cunning, the "others" unleash several waves to eradicate the human race while preserving the Earth's natural resources. There are no grand explosions, little green men, or friendly visitors wishing to interact and understand our race. Cassie feels like the last human on earth after aliens have quietly invaded our planet. Anyone else over the trilogy happy dystopian and paranormal YA lit? This one stands out and is worth your credit and time.
