The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey



If you are looking for a great book to read I think The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey will accomplish that!

Just like that a gigantic object is floating up in the sky above a city, it almost looks like a spaceship  that came out of nowhere. At least that's what Cassie thinks. Cassie is a sixteen year old girl, going to high school and living her life with her family is normal, now a gigantic spaceship looking object is floating above her city which after a while gets normal too. 

Until the 1st wave hit, all the electricity is gone cars, phones, airplanes etc. Then the 2nd wave hit, a massive tsunami. After the 3rd wave, A virus called the "Red Death" and now the 4th wave, the silencers. Almost all of the population of the world is gone in under 3 months. 

Except Cassie, Cassie feels like the only person in the world standing at the moment with her little brother being taken away from her and her father being shot in the head by the "others" Cassie is terribly scared being dead too. When Cassie's little brother was being taken away she promised that she will come and find him. Traveling from places to places in this dangerous adventure to find Cassie's brother and  possibly meeting another human for the first time after 3 months of loneliness will Cassie survive the others? Or will she die like the other 7 billion people? but always remember don't trust anyone.

The 5th Wave is a riveting and thrilling dystopian book that will be hard to put down even for a second.
