Frightening, twisty, and gruesome, "The 5th Wave" is humanity's worst nightmare come to life. Four different waves of an alien invasion have rendered the earth a wasteland, with over 7 billion humans dead. The few remaining survivors struggle to live in a land where the enemy has the face of a human.

Brilliant dialouge from the various teens in this novel along with a variety of mysteries that will keep you on your seat. Yancey also ties things up enough in the end to make this a stand alone, but also leaves a door propped for further sequels. This book is optioned for film and to no wonder! Can't wait.

Listened to audiobook from 09/14-09/24/2014 (or around abouts). Great narrators with authentically "young" voices kept the story moving along.
