I received a free copy from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This is a book about an alien invasion that basically swallows up a lot of people and so 14-year-old Gracie's family is suddenly nowhere to be found, 15-year-old Bradon's Dad is dead, and they find 5-year-old Jake all alone half-dead under a broken house. Together the three of them need to survive and try to find their families.
I honestly didn't enjoy this much. Especially Brandon was terrible in my opinion - he was misogynistic and condescending and I couldn't stand him. I also didn't really get into the story much and there wasn't much suspense for me. The general idea was good but I thought it was poorly executed.
