The Hunt(The Hunt #1) by Andrew Fukuda

Don’t Sweat.  Don’t Laugh.  Don’t draw attention to yourself.  And most of all, whatever you do, do not fall in love with one of them.


Gene is different from everyone else around him.  He can’t run with lightning speed, sunlight doesn't hurt him and he doesn’t have an unquenchable lust for blood.  Gene is a human, and he knows the rules.  Keep the truth a secret.  It’s the only way to stay alive in a world of night—a world where humans are considered a delicacy and hunted for their blood.


When he’s chosen for a once in a lifetime opportunity to hunt the last remaining humans, Gene’s carefully constructed life begins to crumble around him.  He’s thrust into the path of a girl who makes him feel things he never thought possible—and into a ruthless pack of hunters whose suspicions about his true nature are growing. Now that Gene has finally found something worth fighting for, his need to survive is stronger than ever—but is it worth the cost of his humanity?


My Thoughts/Review:


I might as well have just died.

Way to kill me with a cliffhanger ending. Tell me, when does the sequel to this come out? Oh, the sadness of wanting a book that hasn't come out yet. Every page of this story was pure poetry. Pure, beautiful Poetry. I may never recover from this. Ever. No offense to anyone out there, but The Hunger Games wasn't all that great to me. It just didn't speak to me. This did. I am in insane lust for this book. The story was told so brilliantly that you don't ever realize until it's brought up that none of the characters (except the Hepers) have names. Believe me, that point right there, it just add's to the story. Gene has some amazing thoughts, and it's kind of awful when you think about it, but he never got to laugh, or smile, or ya know, just be human. These people (whatever they may be) are a very strange society. I'm leaning toward vampires. but you know, that's just me. This book was a very imaginative story created by a very talented writer. Andrew Fukuda, I salute you. (And hope the sequel comes out soon!)
