Blood Runs Thicker: A 5th Wave Story

When the first wave hit, it was a massive blackout. Even Hadley's mind was black and void.

When the second wave hit, the water took Gray down with it, and drowned her in the new reality.

It used to be so simple for them. All Hadley had to worry about was her spot on the basketball team and her trumpet while Gray was caught up with choir auditions and her upcoming Algebra exams.

And, of course, they have boys to face. There will always be boys.

Now, they constantly countenance oncoming threats, including aliens, and the typical teenage drama.

Will these best friends find one another again on the trail to a safe haven? And if they do, will they be able to trust one another in a world where all hope has been lost?

A/N: I know in the books the waves were over a longer period of time but they come after one another quickly in this story for the sake of the plot.
