Rating πŸ’šπŸ’šπŸ’š Author Kody Boye Title When They Came Series When They Came #1 Genre ya, aliens, dystopia Number of pages 313 Published April 3rd 2017 Cover πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’› Goodreads Amazon Received from Xpresso Book Tours Dystopia is one of my favourite genre all across, so I had very high expectation going into the book. For me to fully enjoyed the story, it has to have certain element of realness to it, that *it-could-really-happen* vibe. And When They Came certainly has that. Few years ago They came. But They didn’t come peacefully. It’s was more like the  worse nightmare coming true. First they sent creatures similar to coyotes, that look around for people and then harvesters come, with ships. People have resorted to live in small compounds, one of those is Fort Hope. When kids reach age of 17, the have to pick a job. Ana Mia pick to be Night Guard, protecting compound from Coyotes. One her first mission outside of the compound, she gets bitten. She luckily survives,

The stories were very unique, there is post-apocalyptic, zombies, ghost, sci.fi, crimi and love. One thing that they all have in common is that all of them are very vivid, they spring from the pages and the writing it’s very good. :) It’s amazing how in just few paragraph the whole story comes to life and who you can be thoroughly scared with so little words. :) Happy reading, Anie

It has that whole western vibe that I really enjoyed. You get glimpses of history and world at that time as well as steamy romance. :) I love fist half of the book, especially Chloe. She is such a strong characters, standing on her own two feet. The second part of the story moved a lot slower, though. It's a lovely quick read. Happy reading, Anie Amazon.co.uk Widgets

It’s more like a military base. Their actions in the first story and what they discovered, have mayor consequences. Yalena is very crushed at first and it takes her a long time take her new role or at least forget her former one. Even though she tries, her leadership and intelligence shine through her every action, even when she is no longer on that position. I love the way she thinks and take charge of the events. She is so amazing. :) My favourite part again is Yalena and Eric's friendship. They work so well together. Yal
