The 5th Wave
The Passage meets Ender's Game in an epic new series from award-winning author 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.
"Wildly entertaining . . . I couldn't turn the pages fast enough."--Justin Cronin, The New York Times Book Review
"A modern sci-fi masterpiece . . . should do for aliens what Twilight did for vampires."--USAToday.com

One thing that makes me just love this book are the characters.
Cassie, just a total badass.
Ben, or Zombie, totally adorable ( but he could actually kill you).
Evan, well I don't wanna spoiler anything...
Ringer, even more of a badass than Cassie.
Sammy, i swear to god if he doesn't survive the second book...
I liked the idea with the waves and there were some plot twists I really didn't see coming.
There is a tiny little thing at the end that bugged me; Ben suddenly becoming all close to Cassie, which I thought was a bit early. Afterall the didn't really have a connection before and it was kind of sudden. Especially with what just happened with Evan. Or maybe that was just me.
But apart from that the book was just amazing and I highly recommend it.
