"A direct continuation of The 5th Wave  and Yancey goes even deeper, never pulling any punches and leaving the reader feeling shocked and horrified but at the same time, like the characters, somehow, still hopeful. I'm excited to see how the Series ends in The Last Star. " 5 Stars Pros:  Basically picking up right where The 5th Wave  left off, we follow Ben/Cassie in their attempts to lay low and survive after the cataclysmic events of the first books ending/The scene between Poundcake and Grace was absolute perfection.  Cons:  Some of the scene with Ringer were very surreal and a little hard to follow, a little repetitive but it didn't take away from the book too much, sometimes it went on for a little too long though.  Full Review: Cassie has found her little brother Sam, along with Ben (Zombie) who is Sam's commanding officer and the rest of Ben's unit. Once they realized what was happening, they went rogue and they know it's only a matter of time befor...

"A dark, gritty, unflinching look at how the world descends into chaos when Aliens finally invade. Yancey pulls no punches and there were times that this book was so intense that I had to remind myself that it was fiction. It was a tough read but a powerful one, one that has stayed with me for a long time." 5 Stars Pros:  Though she has her moments of naivete, for the most part, Cassie is a relatable, strong protagonist and her loyalty and love are endless, the same with Ben Parish/Ringer is a mystery that I hope will be solved.  Cons:  This book is extremely dark and violent at times, so brace yourself. It's not a con precisely but it gets deep and depressing at times.  Full Review: It's finally happened.  Aliens have invaded the Earth.  But it wasn't with ray guns, or Death Stars or blowing up the White House, "Independence Day" style. Instead, the mother ship slips into our orbit, hovering above the Earth like a green, lidless eye and for ten days, no...

"Epic fantasy in every sense but a bit too epic at times. Though I liked most of the characters and Rollins was good at pacing at the beginning, for some reason, once they all reached Havensfayre, everything got kind of complicated, cerebral and hard to follow. I think there was too much happening to too many people all at once. It was an interesting read but by the end, I just needed it to be done." 2 Stars Pros: I do always love the lax, underestimated underdog character like Kanthe/ Rollins didn’t pull any punches, he killed off characters left and right. Cons: I felt like I learned more about the world than the characters, there were brief glimpses but it was overwhelmed with Nyx and her ability to "sing" to creatures, to "feel" them and "bond" with them/There was a lot happening all at once, to a bunch of different people, so it got confusing as to who was where/when/It went on for far too long. Full Review Nyx was abandoned at birth in th...
