Publisher's Summary
The Passage meets Ender's Game in an epic new series from award-winning author Rick Yancey.
After the first wave, only darkness remains. After the second, only the lucky escape. And after the third, only the unlucky survive. After the fourth wave, only one rule applies: Trust no one.
Now, it's the dawn of the fifth 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.
What the critics say
"Gripping!" (Publishers Weekly, starred review)
"Nothing short of amazing!" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)
"Yancey's heartfelt, violent, paranoid epic, filled with big heroics and bigger surprises, is part War of the Worlds, part Starship Troopers, part Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and part The Stand ... a sure thing for reviewers and readers alike." (Booklist, starred review)

Is it wrong that I loved the romance?
The romance between Cassie and Evan is super creepy. Yet I loved the suspense and thriller feelings I got listening to it. So If you enjoy hidden alien invasions and a thriller twisted romance this book is the one for you. The book is also split into 4 POVs some of which weren't my favorite.

Decent Amount of Action.
Although I found one of the main characters annoying, (Cassie,) I still think I will continue with the series. There was action and it did hold my attention. I think this book was worth the credit.

well told story
this was a light story. I loved the story line. I actually liked the main character too, which is important to me. this narrator is one of my favorites so it was a no brainer for me. I told my husband he should try this book out too.
