I thought my life pretty much sucked. A senior in high school not one date. Being six feet with angry red curls and face full of freckles. Need I say more? Then the aliens showed up. Turns out the genius in the wheelchair was right. It didn’t go well for us. Oh first they were all friendly and we are here to help. Then the wars came. Billions died. Then the virus. It killed everyone. Well, not everyone. I survived but not without some noticeable changes in body. Not sure if these changes are bad news/good news yet. The wars still rages on but the powers that be haven’t forgotten about me. It seems everyone wants me as a lab rat or dead. In a nutshell. It sucks to be me. Please don’t call me Zero. My name is Reggan Sobe.
I have always loved to tell stories but never had the time to really sit down and write them out until now. I went to college for e a few years but had to drop out. back in the day they didn't give scholarships for film school. I had a unsuccessful career as a screenplay writer. Now I write novels and find it much more fulfilling.
I don't generally like sci-fi but I loved this book. Perhaps it's because it's focused on a story of simple survival more than the alien aspects of it. Whatever the reason, I thoroughly enjoyed Zero's journey.
The character was enjoyable and easy to relate to. She's smart and skilled, but also has her fair share of struggles. The plot is engaging and unpredictable. There were many twists I didn't expect.
There were times when the "teen" voice came on a little strong, but that may have been emphasized by the audiobook narrator, so I'm not letting that impact my rating.
The only true disappointment in this book for me was when it ended, because there was so much more I wanted to see happen! But, since it's a series, I suppose that's to be expected. I'll be on to the next book, so I can get all my questions answered!
