Defy the Stars by Claudia Gray

5.0

I read this book in two days! I could not put it down!

This is definitely a must-read for lovers of The 5th Wave and The Host.

You know how we are always talking about how bad our lives on Earth will be if we don't get control over global warming? Well, in this book, the people of Earth lost control and Earth is in trouble...it's dying. In our desperate attempt to survive in the future, we are colonizing other planets. One of the planets that we have discovered is called Genesis. It is perfect! The only problem is that people already live there are they will fight us to the death to keep us from coming there.

​(Can I just say that I really enjoyed the twist that we are the aliens who are taking over other planets?)

17 year old Noemi is one of Genesis's fighter pilots and she is willing to do anything to save her planet--even sacrifice her own life. During a battle with artificial intelligence (mechs) from Earth, Noemi's best friend is injured. Noemi lands on an abandoned Earth ship in an attempt to save her friend's life. Little does she know that the most advanced mech in the galaxy is lying in wait to kill her.

Can Noemi survive long enough to save her own planet? Or will the mech change her life forever? You HAVE to read this book to find out!

PS- Claudia Gray, there BETTER be a sequel!!!!
