The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey
Release Date: May 7, 2013
Add it on GoodreadsAfter 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.
ALIENS. I’ve had some weird fascination with aliens since I was a kid (aka FEAR), and while I enjoy alien love interests in paranormal romances and whatnot, I’m always on the lookout for something a little more…unsettling. I haven’t read Rick Yancey’s Monstrumologist books (yet), but I’ve heard great things about the atmosphere he created in those books, so I’m eager to experience some paranoia, creepiness and overall awesome in The 5th Wave. SOMEBODY GET THIS BOOK IN MY HANDS.
What are you waiting on this week?

I’m so geeked about this. I’m a little worried because I’ve read some preliminary reviews that weren’t… great. But who cares. Gotta read stuff for ourselves, right?
Great pick, and thanks for stopping by my WoW

I haven’t read a book with Aliens in it before, but I can’t wait for this one! Sounds great and I love survival.

Yes, paranormal romance is all fine and dandy, but sometimes I want to be afraid of the things that go bump in the night.
I am so excited for this one! Seriously, we have like the exact same taste! (Yes, I’ve been stalking you on Goodreads hahaha) Can’t wait to read this one!
