"He has no voice, or
name, only a rank, Eighth. He doesn’t know the details of the mission,
only the directives that hum in his mind. Dart the humans. Leave them where they fall. His job is to protect his Offside. Let her do the shooting.
Until a human kills her…
Sixteen
year-old Raven is at summer camp when the terrifying armored Nahx
invade, annihilating entire cities, taking control of the Earth.
Isolated in the wilderness, Raven and her friends have only a fragment
of instruction from the human resistance.
Shelter in place.
Which
seems like good advice at first. Stay put. Await rescue. Raven doesn’t
like feeling helpless but what choice does she have? Then a Nahx kills her boyfriend. Thrown
together in a violent, unfamiliar world, Eighth and Raven should feel
only hate and fear. But when Raven is injured, and Eighth deserts his
unit, their survival depends on trusting each other…" --Amazon blurb
This was a fast-paced and exciting read. Great character development and a slow burn to the realization of what's going on. Really looking forward to the second book in this series, though I've heard that the third book in the series was put on hold by the publisher. The renewed buzz around this series will hopefully prompt them to pick up the pace.
