Summary:
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.

I'm reading this one right now and loving it!
At ALA they bombarded me with this book and all the excitement they had for it. They kept trying to give me MORE copies just in case I hadn't already got one. And yes, people are RAVING about it. I might need to read it before I hear too much more about it.
Yep, I've seen good reviews of this and was lucky enough to snag a copy from the Aussi publisher via Netgalley!
