The Fifth Wave by Rick Yancey

Well, if that is true for you, you should read The Fifth Wave. The Fifth Wave written by Rick Yancey is a alien apocalypse book full of suspense and action. The Firth Wave has several different parts and in each part the point of view switches between different peoples perspectives so you get to see the same event but different opinions experiencing it. At the beginning of the book it may seem like you missed a book or vital information but you are informed of what you thought you missed later on in the book. The main character Cassie Sullivan is constantly on the run and fighting for survival after her entire family died, and 6.98 billion people after the aliens attacked all of the humans on earth over the course of five waves. The first wave was a giant EMP (electric magnetic pulse) causing almost anything that uses electricity or batteries to stop working and wiping out about half a million people. The second wave was a series of huge tsunamis that spanned all the coastlines in the world wiping out about forty percent of the worlds survivors. The third wave almost eighty percent of the survivors were killed by a strong epidemic. And the fourth wave the aliens get into people's brains and control their host. What is the Fifth Wave?  Well,  why don't you read the book to find out?
