What Amazon says:
Xander Liu survived the alien invasion - just barely. For more than a year, he has outsmarted, hidden from, and otherwise avoided the ruthless intruders, the Nahx, dodging the deadly darts that have claimed so many. When the murder of his friend leaves him in the protective company of August, a rebellious Nahx soldier, Xander is finally able to make his way back to human controlled territor and relative safety. But safety among the humans is not what it seems. When Raven awakes on a wide expanse of snowy sand dunes, she has many questions. What has happened to her and the other reanimated humans gathered around her? What is the meaning of the Nahx ships that hover ominously above them? And most pressing of all, where is August, who promised to keep her safe? In the shadow of n unforgiving Canadian winter, Xander and Raven find themselves on opposite sides of an alien war. Left with little choice about their roles in the looming battle, they search for answers and allies all while being drawn back to the place where their respective fates were determined, and to the one who determined them: August.
This book was pretty good. I read the first one, so I wanted to do what I usually do - continue a series no matter how I felt about the first book. The story is interesting enough. The writing is decent. The story flows well. It took me a bit to get into, but I didn't read the first one that far in the past, so soon I was back on track with the characters. This one has a new main character, but Raven does make an appearance quickly and is back to being a main POV. Got a little more insight into the invasion and who the Nahx are. I think there is going to be a third one so I will that if it becomes so.
Stars: 3.5
