**Sequel to The Rains**
Summary:
Phase One of the invasion began with spores that turned everyone over the age of eighteen into vicious, unhuman beings, unrecognizable as the trusted adults they once were. These Hosts paved the way for the invaders and transformed the small town of Creek's Cause into a war zone. Holed up in the local high school, frightened kids and teenagers struggle to survive--at least until their eighteenth birthdays.
Now, a new breed of predatory creatures has been spawned and is spreading across the world, devouring everything in its path. Earth's only hope is two overwhelmed teenage brothers--and their closest friend, Alexandra--who may hold the key to humanity's survival. But how far will they have to go to save everyone and everything they care about?
My Thoughts:
I genuinely didn't know that The Rains had a sequel until now, whoops. But I am glad I found it because the previous book was great.
The story itself is quite interesting, how the aliens are forcing the adults to map out the Earth and wipe out its population for them.
I really liked JoJo. She was adorable. I really, really hated Ben. And I remembered how awful he was in the first book? He's worse in this one.
The fact that the boys can inject themselves with some solution that would kill them but save the rest of humanity was quite interesting. However, the weird love triangle around Chance, Patrick, and Alex was...weird. Like it's one thing to have a crush on your brother's girlfriend, but her saying she has feelings-ish for him while she and Patrick were still together???
Overall though, this book was great.
My Rating: 5 stars
