But will they be able to work together to survive? It is inevitable that the two groups will cross paths. He is part of Squad 53, they all have names like Zombie (Ben’s name), Ringer, Dumbo, Teacup, Tank, Flintstone, Oompa and Nugget. Ben is at Camp Haven, a military base where a group of children and teenagers are training for the war against the aliens. The second first-person-perspective is from Ben Parrish, Cassie’s former high school crush, the star football player that didn’t even know she existed. Evan wants to help but she questions whether she can trust him. Cassie and Evan develop a relationship, but Cassie’s priority is to find her brother. After being shot by an unknown sniper Cassie is being nursed back to health on a remote farmhouse by a mysterious young man, Evan Walker, whose girlfriend and family were killed during the 3rd wave. The story begins with Cassie searching for her brother. She lost her mother during the 3rd wave, her father during the 4th wave, and her five-year-old brother Sammy went missing during the 5th wave. Our central protagonist is sixteen-year-old Cassie Sullivan (short for Cassiopeia). This post-apocalyptic novel takes places in Dayton, Ohio following a wave of alien invasions that has devastated the Earth’s population (more than 99% of the population was wiped out before the story begins – dramatic backstory!). I found myself unable to put the book down. The writing was very forward, and flowed together nicely. I really hope he lives as I really like Evan. How was she to know if they were alien or human? I love the slow building relationship between her and Evan. I also felt so sad for her, not being able to trust anyone. Cassie just has this voice that made me want to see what she said next, what her plan was. I was hooked from the first page of this book. With the help of Evan and later Ringer, they make it out of the alien fort. She'd spent so many times before the arrival daydreaming of him. That's where Ben runs into Cassie, she's already gotten into the boot camp and got her brother. He won't leave him behind like he left his younger sister.
