5th Wave series.
Cassie (The 5th Wave) and her battered group of alien-apocalypse survivors hole up in a rat-infested motel--waiting to be rescued or hunted; waiting to live or die. One of this sequel's greatest strengths is the development of ensemble cast members, each with an intricate backstory of loss and adversity. Yancy's sharp prose grips the reader and refuses to let go.
