About this ebook

The first young adult page-turner from New York Times bestselling author Gregg Hurwitz. In one terrifying night, the peaceful community of Creek's Cause turns into a war zone. No one under the age of eighteen is safe. Chance Rain and his older brother, Patrick, have already fended off multiple attacks from infected adults by the time they arrive at the school where other young survivors are hiding.

Most of the kids they know have been dragged away by once-trusted adults who are now ferocious, inhuman beings. The parasite that transformed them takes hold after people turn eighteen--and Patrick's birthday is only a few days away.

Determined to save Patrick's life and the lives of the remaining kids, the brothers embark on a mission to uncover the truth about the parasites--and what they find is horrifying. Battling an enemy not of this earth, Chance and Patrick become humanity's only hope for salvation.

Ratings and reviews

Didn't buy it but planning on buying book 2! I didn't expect the ending at all. I hope that Patrick and Chance are okay! There were a lot of plot twist. I recommend.

I didnt buy it on here but I read it from me english class and it is so interesting I cant wait to read last chance I hope you continue making such good books

So this book was about 100 pages to long. Maybe bits and pieces of 8 different movies but overall I liked it. I'll give book two a try.
