I actually made it through 92 percent of this book- I finally realized that I was not enjoying it.  I kept expecting it to get better.  I love post-apocalytic books.  I read them all the time.  This one had aliens in it.  What's not to like?  The dialogue was stilted and unnatural- I have never met or heard teenagers talk like these did.  The situations were repetitous- danger, betrayal, heroic save- over and over.  The characters were one dimensional- very little personality shone through for anyone.  After all that, I had no idea who these people were, what they wanted, what drove them, what their quirks and foibles were... they were like cardboard cutouts.  I wish I had been able to enjoy this series.  Good idea- bad execution.
