“They came four years ago. Invaded our planet, rounded us up, decimated the human race. We fought back, and some even say we won, but they’re wrong. The invaders took everything from us. Our family. Our hope. Our humanity. We won the war, but there are no humans left. Only monsters who will do anything to survive. Some look human and some don’t, but they are all the same.”
What’s your favorite thing about When We Were Human?
This book will always hold a special place in my heart because it’s the first one I won an award for, but I also love the complexity of the characters and the depth of Eva’s pain and guilt, as well as how she worked through it. Like I said, I love the setting as well, and I love the aliens. I’ve had a lot of readers who like my zombie books say they’re not a fan of aliens, but I love them – and I definitely plan to write more. Creating this alien species was so much fun!
When We Were Human also happens to be the first audiobook I did on my own. The first three books in the Broken World Series were produced through Tantor Media, who contacted my agent about purchasing the rights, but with this novel, I found a narrator on my own. I got really lucky, too. A singer by the name of Betty Soo auditioned for me, and her voice is so soothing and gripping at the same time. It was her first time producing an audiobook, which meant she was willing to do it for less money than it usually costs, and she did a fantastic job! If you like audiobooks, there are still some codes available (the link is at the top of the post).
