The Rains by Gregg Hurwitz


Interest Level: YA 
Reading Level: 5.7
Lexile: HL770L
Genre: Horror / Science Fiction


In one terrifying night, the peaceful community of Creek's Cause turns into a war zone. No one under the age of eighteen is safe. Chance Rain and his older brother, Patrick, have already fended off multiple attacks from infected adults by the time they arrive at the school where other young survivors are hiding. Most of the kids they know have been dragged away by once-trusted adults who are now ferocious, inhuman beings. The parasite that transformed them takes hold after people turn eighteen--and Patrick's birthday is only a few days away. Determined to save Patrick's life and the lives of the remaining kids, the brothers embark on a mission to uncover the truth about the parasites--and what they find is horrifying. Battling an enemy not of this earth, Chance and Patrick become humanity's only hope for salvation.

The ending was a cliff-hanger. I am now anxiously awaiting book two. I liked this book. I cared about the character. It was just a bit scary but not so scary that I wouldn't read the second book. If you like scary books, I would recommend this book. I would suggest that you may want to wait until the COVID-19 pandemic subsides.
