The Two CassiesĬassie, though, wasn't always an odd mash-up of heroic abilities. She also has an assault rifle (and knows how to use it).īut she also has an extremely devoted alien boyfriend, which is fortunate since she's on a suicidal mission to rescue her baby brother from the clutches are far less devoted alien captors. She's a little shell-shocked and a little depressed. She's smart, athletic, determined, and practical. (At least for now-this book is the first of a three-part series, after all.)Ĭassie's everything you'd expect from someone who has managed to live through an alien invasion. To paraphrase Beyoncé, she's a survivor she's gonna make it. She's a (deep breath) sixteen-year-old girl that happens to be an orphan, and happens to be falling in love with an alien… and happens to be living in a post-apocalyptic world. She's a sixteen-year-old girl that happens to be an orphan, and happens to be falling in love with an alien. She's a sixteen-year-old girl that happens to be an orphan. Cassie Sullivan is a sixteen-year-old girl.
