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 really enjoyed this book.
It was definitely a teen book with teeny-bopper romance with possibly overpowered kids. That didn't stop it from being a really fun and thrilling. I greatly enjoyed this as an adult, but the 16 year old me would have read it all in one sitting and then re-read it at least once more.
Thank you again Penguin Books at SDCC.
