Tate's father is hard core. Demanding and exacting, he's raised Tate to be strong and intelligent and not a little resourceful. McGyver-type resourceful. And it's going to come in handy because one unfortunate choice brings to a crashing halt not just Tate's safety but also everything he's ever believed about his life.
This was an unsolicited arc sent to my house. I almost didn't read it because it sounded a bit cheesy, but it was described as a cross between McGyver and War of the Worlds, both of which I like in a strange way. So I tried. And I liked! I totally want some more! There are aliens! Bad guys! Maybe-I-can't-trust-you good guys! Strange technologies and explosives made from Walmart junk! I'm not kidding. The plot grabbed me. There are too many swears at the beginning but for a male protagonist, he felt his emotions deep enough that I believed them (ok, sometimes being in a teenage male head got annoying but I still wanted to keep reading). I just took my disbelief and suspended it, baby, and had a nice fluffy ride.
