BLURB:
A high-stakes survival story about eight teenagers who outlive an alien attack—perfect for fans of The 5th Wave
Clover Martinez has always been a survivor, which is the only reason she isn’t among the dead when aliens invade and destroy Earth as she knows it.
When Clover hears an inexplicable radio message, she’s shocked to learn there are other survivors—and that they’re all at the former Area 51. When she arrives, she’s greeted by a band of misfits who call themselves The Last Teenagers on Earth.
Only they aren’t the ragtag group of heroes Clover was expecting. The group seems more interested in hiding than fighting back, and Clover starts to wonder if she was better off alone. But then she finds a hidden spaceship, and she doesn’t know what to believe…or who to trust.
CHRISTINA’S FOUR STAR REVIEW:
To be honest, this was an impulse pick up for me. Although I enjoy Young Adult reads, this is the first that was mainly teen driven without a romantic element. And I REALLY enjoyed this!!!
Clover is a teenage Latina living on a farm in a small town in the heart of America. She’s been raised by her Grandparents, one of which was a pilot for the military. This is where her love of flying comes in to play. She loves the sky. Not just the sky. She wants to join NASA one day. An engineer even expressed interest. But that all comes crashing down as soon as there’s an alien invasion, destroying everyone and everything around her. But why was she spared?
After roaming the Earth for over six months, Clover finally finds out that she’s not alone. Turns out, there are seven others who have been hiding safely for as long as she’s been roaming.
I’m not going to spoil the story, but this is definitely where this book takes off. We learn more about the survivors, aliens and what’s next in life. This was literally a mystery read in the sense that puzzle pieces slowing get pieced together, revealing all of the answers we’ve been curious to know.
I will admit that I was completely SHOCKED to see that this is in fact a duo series. Especially after that ending. Now I’m totally hooked and can’t wait to get my hands on the next one.
