Goodreads description--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.

Rose Under Fire looks good; I've been debating requesting it. I wish I had time to participate in Armchair BEA, but it's a busy week with work, so not this year. Have a great week and enjoy Armchair BEA!
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to your review of Dare You To! I haven't received my copy yet, I hope it arrives soon. I really loved Pushing the Limits.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard about Armchair Bea before, what does it entail? I am really sad I live in Europa and can't attend those awesome book conventions in the US.
I look forward to reading/seeing your Armchair BEA stuff.
ReplyDeleteI am curious about Rose Under Fire, Hyperion has put out some good books this year, so I look forward to your review! Enjoy your weekend :) The Sunday Post

I am so excited to start Fifth Wave. I am doing Armchair BEA. I may not be as active because I have company but I really hope I can get in on the fun. I have my posts all written up!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, you got two great books this week!

OMG! Your about me paragraph up there is great! I LOVE it. You remind me of myself! LOL. Sounds like a fun week! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I heard about Elizabeth Wein's new book, but I've not read Code Name Verity yet, so I figured I'd wait to read this one till it came out, though it sounds really interesting! She must like World War II.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting me today! Happy reading! :)
