Publisher: Harper Teen
Summary from Goodreads:
So what’s the game now? This, or the life I used to know?
When Miki Jones is pulled from her life, pulled through time and space into some kind of game—her carefully controlled life spirals into chaos. In the game, she and a team of other teens are sent on missions to eliminate the Drau, terrifying and beautiful alien creatures.
There are no practice runs, no training, and no way out. Miki has only the guidance of secretive but maddeningly attractive team leader Jackson Tate, who says the game isn’t really a game, that what Miki and her new teammates do now determines their survival, and the survival of every other person on this planet. She laughs. He doesn’t. And then the game takes a deadly and terrifying turn.

Excerpt:
Color and sound explode, too bright, too loud.
Even the air on my skin feels like it’s too much. My fingers go lax. The bag’s
handle slides down my palm, then along my fingers to the tips, impossibly slow.
The world tips and tilts and I flail for balance.
Luka grabs my hand and holds tight.
I blink. My house, my open front door, Dad,
they’re all gone. My breath comes in short gasps and every muscle in my body
feels like it’s knotted up tight.
I’m standing in a grassy clearing bounded by
trees.
The lobby.
