Amidst a brutal war with no end in sight, Ellie and her four remaining friends discover that their hidden refuge becomes a crowded place when they decide to care for an uncooperative crew of orphans. Things only get worse when Ellie and Homer learn that mysterious visitors have discovered their sanctuary. Has the enemy found them out?

Five ordinary teens brave the worst in this electrifying continuation of their battle to stay safe and sane in a war zone that was once their home.

Still an amazing series, but this foreshadowing is getting a bit old. When every second chapter stars with "We should have known...", "If only I had..." or something similar, you know that the author needs to learn a new writing technique.

But despite this, I'm still happily devouring the books. I liked the addition of the ferals in this one, even if Gavin did annoy me something terrible. He's deaf! That makes him a liability - not a help! He can't hear if there are soldiers about or if he's making too much noise!

I was also glad to see they finally got some more help from New Zealand!
