MY THOUGHTS
Gosh, this book was amazing! It's a well known fact, at least around my house, that I have an obsession with aliens. Whenever I see any hint of the world "alien" in a synopsis, it immediately gets put on my TBR list! Thankfully, this book exceeded my expectations!

This book takes place 30 years after most of humanity was wiped out by a biological disease. After a horrible event that left Jax comatose for awhile, Jax and her brother now live in a 'safe' human settlement. Jase, Jax's brother gets to be a hunter while Jax has to be a 'proper women': Wear dresses and wait until she's promised at 18, then pop out babies. Jax plans on persuading Jase to leave the settlement, but Jase ends up getting taken by aliens. Jax needs to find Jase, but the only way to find the alien city is to team up with an alien.

I love pretty much everything about this book! The world is so well-crafted! While I do wish that I could get more information on the Collapse, everything about the current world is really well-crafted. We especially get to know more info on the aliens.

What is the strongest in this book has to be the characters. Jax is a very strong, and stubborn character. She learns things about her brother that would cause most people to not help him, but she continues trying to save him. I loved Lir, the alien, but I can't quite figure out where he lies.

This book was also very surprising. I, honestly, didn't know what to expect from this book. I wasn't able to guess ahead of time what would happen, this book was anything but predictable.

IN CONCLUSION
Amazing book! I strongly recommend this book! It has great characters, well-crafted world, and ALIENS! Oddly, this book reminded me of Angelfall, one of my all-time favorites. So, if you loved that book, this one is also a possibility!
Now, I am very much anticipating the sequel!
