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.

I haven't read this in so long. Might have to dive back into this series this month.

Starting this now!

Intrusion - 1995: (view spoiler)[Such a creepy beginning but I'm so excited to dive back into this book. Trying the audio instead of the ebook this time - so let's go! (hide spoiler)]

The Last Historian: (view spoiler)[It's so sad that she lost both of her parents and now she has to go save her little brother. That's a lot of weight on her shoulders but I'm ready for the adventure. (hide spoiler)]

Wonderland: (view spoiler)[The anger inside of him makes me sad but I totally get how he feels. His little sister died and no one really knows what is really going on except for people dying. (hide spoiler)]

Silencer: (view spoiler)[Well she definitely seems like a bad ass.. and I think it's interesting that he wont just kill her. Definitely seems like the alien guy is developing feelings. (hide spoiler)]

Mayfly: (view spoiler)[Ugh.. her first question was the diary? How is she not thinking he's the silencer?!?! (hide spoiler)]

The Winnowing: (view spoiler)[Aw it's going to be Megan behind that - right? Also what he went through? He's just a kid.. (hide spoiler)]

The Human Clay: (view spoiler)[I love how sassy Ringer is. She's definitely going to shape up the team but I felt so bad that Sam thought it was going to be his sister. Just wait buddy! (hide spoiler)]

The Heart to Kill: (view spoiler)[GIRL. RUN. (hide spoiler)]

The Spirit of Vengeance: (view spoiler)[Holy crap! I think I love Ringer. She's so smart and figured out that they were killing their own people. Dang. (hide spoiler)]

A Flower to the Rain: (view spoiler)[Honestly, I'm happy he did show up because knowing her? Things would have been messed up. (hide spoiler)]

A Thousand Ways: (view spoiler)[These alien people seem very trust worthy.. just saying. (hide spoiler)]

The Infinite Sea: (view spoiler)[fjdlakjflasjkl THEY REUNITED! (hide spoiler)]

Because of Kistner: (view spoiler)[We are so close to the end! How are they going to get out? (hide spoiler)]

The Black Hole / Finished: (view spoiler)[I'm glad that they are saved and everything.. but I don't really ship her with Ben. Give me Evan please. (hide spoiler)]

Hoping to jump into this either later tonight or tomorrow!

Part 1 (view spoiler)[Well I got sucked in super quick, it’s gonna be a long night now I think lol. I think it’s so interesting they all went about their normal lives with a giant spaceship in the sky, but I mean it does make sense, what else were they going to do? I’m worried though about her brother. I’m assuming he has an alien inside him or something so her finding him, well, he may no longer be himself. Of course this is also me hoping it’s not the type of alien to rip out of his chest. This book hasn’t been holding back so I guess I’ll have to wait and see lol (hide spoiler)]

I’m really enjoying the audio myself. But yes what an opening 😳😳

Alaina wrote: "The Last Historian: [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[I’m pissed her dad let them take baby bro to begin with 🤬 (hide spoiler)]

Part 2 (view spoiler)[Oh wow that was insane. I’m kinda 😱😱 shocked and worried for this kid now. Did they just implant an alien in him and make him kill his friend 😥😲? (hide spoiler)]

Part 6 (view spoiler)[Omg how does this keep getting more insane. Her poor brother being sent to this boot camp 😭 and I’m so angry how conniving these evil damn aliens are. Training these kids to take out the other humans when they’re really the ones with aliens in them. Then again maybe I’m completely wrong but damn this is nuts (hide spoiler)]

Part 10 (view spoiler)[Oh nooooo. I’m so afraid of what’s going to happen next. Two people working separately to steal her brother but now there’s an alien bomb to worry about as well. Are they going to be able to save all of the innocent kids in the camp? (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[Wow, can’t believe it’s taken me so long to read this I really enjoyed it. Good ending too with them getting away. They need to take out the commander though, he murdered their dad and is in charge of this whole thing. Wonder where Evan will be now as well?!? Hope they didn’t catch him on their way out on the plane 🤔😲 (hide spoiler)]

DANG! You went down the brother route? Which, yeah, would make sense if I think about it. I just never went down that way of thinking.

[spoilers removed]"

GIRL YES! But it was also obvious that he knew something was off too

❀ Crystal �� - wrote: "Part 2 [spoilers removed]"

That's what I was thinking. Like it seemed kind of fake or something was off.

❀ Crystal �� - wrote: "Part 6 [spoilers removed]"

No no no you were on the right path!

❀ Crystal �� - wrote: "Part 10 [spoilers removed]"

Dun dun dun! That's the big question isn't it?

❀ Crystal �� - wrote: "Finished [spoilers removed]"

YES! It's time for the Commander to die now!
