Publisher Description
Flocks of birds are hurling themselves at aeroplanes across America. Thousands of people die. Millions are stranded. Everyone knows the world will never be the same.
On Reese's long drive home, along a stretch of empty highway at night, a bird flies into their headlights. The car flips over. When they wake up in a military hospital, the doctor won't tell them what happened.
For Reese, though, this is just the start. She can't remember anything from the time between her accident and the day she woke up almost a month later. She only knows one thing: she's different now. Torn between longtime crush David and new girl Amber, the real question is: who can she trust?
This is the long-awaited new novel from the author of ASH: read on with the eBook novella NATURAL SELECTION (for all fans of Reese and Amber!) and the sequel, INHERITANCE.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
After birds begin to fall dead from the sky and cause planes to crash across North America, mayhem erupts, and rising high school senior Reese Holloway and her debate partner, David, are forced to drive from Phoenix to San Francisco after all aircraft are grounded. Their rental car crashes near the infamous Area 51, and they wake up almost a month later in a mysterious government hospital, with no idea what happened. After being forced to sign a nondisclosure agreement, they are returned home to their worried parents. Soon, both teenagers realize they've changed in frightening and strange ways, landing them in the middle of a massive government cover-up. Focusing on Reese's experience, this novel takes off like a shot, but slows a bit once Reese meets Amber, a pink-haired skateboarder who's new to town. From there, the plot fluctuates between the romance between Reese and Amber and an action-packed SF thriller. Lo's (Huntress) writing sparkles throughout, Reese's efforts at self-acceptance after the accident are engaging, and the exciting ending will leave readers ready for the sequel. Ages 15 up.
