Calla has been granted a chance to redeem herself in the eyes of her alien masters. Determined that Doyle is hiding something, she teams up with him on the Condarri's orders. They are to find the rogues together, but all Calla wants to do is catch Doyle in his lies.
Mina, unexpectedly without Doyle once again, must place her trust in strangers, finding relative safety in a mountain lodge. But the longer she waits for him to reappear, the more abandoned she feels. And with all the questions thrown her way, she struggles to find a believable story to explain her survival since the invasion.
She must keep Doyle's secret to protect him and herself, but will he ever return?
During an alien attack on the Army camp, Lincoln loses his team. Before he can find them, Captain Baker takes him as her hostage. As Lincoln struggles to figure out why, the only thing he can do is hope she never finds his friends.

Alien apocalypse...what's not to love!
Spoiler Alert!!! I Love 💘 this series!!!! I can't wait to read the next book/episode. I wish there was more fighting in this one but I'm sure it will get there again. I can't believe how close Mina is to Lincoln and she doesn't even know it yet. I really hope she recognizes his team, Carter, Nelson, and Alveraz. I hope he reunites with her and his team also. Lincoln is in a bad position with the hybrids right now. I had a feeling Baker was one and I was right. I can't believe Baker and Halston are holding him hostage now while they track his team. But if they find his team they will find Mina too. That's what I'm hoping for at least! I wish Doyle would have found Mina after the 2 days like he said, but it's been over a week and she hasn't heard from him. I hate what happened to Schmidt!!! He was always good to Lincoln's team and I think he and Alvarez were hitting it off!! Everyone is separated right now which sucks, so hopefully they all find each other. Calla still believes Doyle is rogue but he showed her up and made her look bad when they met with their master. I finally found out what happened to that soldier Janie and it sucks. She forgot her name and goes by Emily which is actually her real daughters name and I don't think she remembers the baby (Eve) she saved and was taking care of. U hope the baby is okay which I have an idea about that but I'm not sure about it yet. I think the baby is with that family Mina met. The lady named Catherine said she found the baby in the road around a bunch dead people. I'm hoping that baby is actually Eve and I hope Janie reunites with her and she gets her memory back. She was tough before now she seems like a shell of nothing that's just wasting away. It's super sad!!! This author is amazing at writing. For all u apocalyptic fans, this is a MUST READ book series!!!!
