Waiting On Wednesday: The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly Meme hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine. It is an opportunity for us to show books we can't wait to get our hands on.

This week, my pick is:

The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey
The 5th Wave #1
Putnam Juvenile
May 7th, 2013
The Passage meets Ender’s 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 have only heard great things about this book, and I think it sounds like a series that will simply be epic. I can't wait to read this one.

    I'm so excited for this one!! I'm such a huge dystopian fan, and this sounds like it's right up my alley. I love the concept behind it, and the MC sounds super kick-butt and tough. And for some reason, I just love the last line of the synopsis. "To give up or get up." Love. <3

    Lovely pick! <3

    This book sounds amazing. The blurb raises so many questions. Who are "They"? What are "They" doing? Sounds creepy and like a page-turner! And it's being compared to Ender's Game! I just hope it lives up to the hype!
