Shades of Earth by Beth Revis
5.0

OMG. This book totally blew me away, I was a little nervous reading this book after reading Glow because they were so similar. But then I started this book, and I remembered why I felt that Glow was such a let down. Amy and Elder were amazing! The book starts out with them going to the new planet and with Amy's parents being awoken. It was so nice to finally meet them but I will admit to being disappointed in her Dad quite a bit because he was so military and in a way almost as bad as those who were ruled by the Phydus. I loved that this story had a little bit of a mystery to it just like the previous books. I loved the addition of new characters like Emma and Chris.
SpoilerAlthough I was very disappointed that Chris turned out to be a traitor. And I couldn't believe what he allowed to happen to Amy! How could he do that and change her? Not that I think it really harmed her in any way but what if it had and what if she had died!?

Overall I really enjoyed this book and I'm looking forward to see what Beth Revis comes up with next!
