Dystopian future where people die in large swathes because airborne is the fastest way to kill. A military industrial complex you never wanna meet, but fear in the daylight hours, anyway. And two friends working their way across the world to find each other with dangerous chasing them at every corner.

Engaging plot if you read the piece as character driven. The authors focus on the friendship. The only really deep flaw I've found is the romance and that's why it's got a full star off. The romance felt forced, like it was shoe-horned to fit into the genre. Dani getting over Cam in a couple days made me pretty angry. It was too quick and it gave too much away about Chris, who started out as an interesting character.

Everyone matched up in weird little situations, too. Like Zoe and Jake, the whole prophecy and everything. Too pat and too easy. That should be lasted several books. Not 1/3rd into the first book of the series. Rushed. Like Sarah's pregnancy. Sanchez and Jason's past. Too many connections.

I didn't expect the mindrape with Mindy. It felt too real, too palatable, and rather in poor taste after dealing with CeCe. It's a terrible plot device that I hope changes through the next follow up books. The romance felt like YA, not NA. That was another star knock-off, too. The inability to decide if the characters were younger grown ups or young adults in high school. That might go back to the romance subplots, though.

Overall, a solid 3-3.5 star book. I would have liked to give it a little higher number since I read the book in a matter of 30 hours or so. But the glaring repetition and romance issues kept it lowered.
