Synopsis

For Gene and the remaining humans - or hepers - death is just a heartbeat away. On the run and hunted by society, they must find a way to survive in The Vast...and avoid the hungry predators tracking them in the dark. But they're not the only things following Gene. He's haunted by the girl he left behind and his burgeoning feelings for Sissy, the human girl at his side. When they discover a refuge of exiled humans living high in the mountains, Gene and his friends think they're finally safe. Led by a group of intensely secretive elders, the civilisation begins to raise more questions than answers. A strict code of behaviour is the rule, harsh punishments are meted out, young men are nowhere to be found - and Gene begins to wonder if the world they've entered is just as evil as the one they left behind. As life at the refuge grows more perilous, he and Sissy only grow closer. In an increasingly violent world, all they have is each other ...if they can only stay alive.

About this title

Review:

Praise for Andrew Fukuda's "The Hunt" series

"Fukuda delivers a sequel that is just as taut, menacing, and devastating in its consequences as "The Hunt. "There is almost no time to catch a breath, and with another bombshell ending setting up the next book, readers should expect to stay up late finishing this one." --"Booklist"

"With razor-sharp prose, a genius plot, and a searing pace that will have you ripping through the pages, Fukuda creates a dark and savage post-apocalyptic world where humans are nearly extinct and love manages to bloom despite all the odds stacked against it. An exceptional novel--I can't wait for the sequel!" --Alyson Noel, #1 "New York Times "bestselling author of the Immortals Series

"One of the most brilliant, original books I've read in a very long time. This is the kind of book you'll want to stay up with all night to finish!" --Richelle Meade, #1 "New York Times "bestselling author of the Vampire Academy series

"A book that grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go. "The Hunt "is both terrifying and sublime, with every page evoking that fragile, yet unyielding thing we call humanity."-- Andrea Cremer, "New York Times "bestselling author of the Nightshade Trilogy

"Chilling, inventive, and utterly unputdownable. Readers, proceed...if you dare. This book will bleed into your nightmares." --Becca Fitzpatrick, "New York Times "bestselling author of "Hush, Hush"

"In this terrifying and inventive adventure, Fukuda turns the vampire novel inside out...With an exciting premise fueled by an underlying paranoia, fear of discovery, and social claustrophobia, this thriller lives up to its potential while laying groundwork for future books." -"Publishers Weekly"

"The story is bona fide creepy, and as it builds to its cliffhanger ending (which delivers quite a good twist), readers will be torn between hoping Gene can maintain the ruse and that he will take on the bloodsuckers already. As revolutions go, this one is well worth ke

"Full of suspense and intrigue...the combination of postapocalyptic/dystopian setting and vampires is fresh and gripping.

"Fukuda takes the feeling of isolation that dominates adolescence and builds a world around it in a novel where the tension rarely slackens. He turns up the violence a notch from THE HUNGER GAMES with language that is as graphic as it is eloquent. Readers will hanker for answers as they'll discover a kindred spirit in Gene, who so eloquently describes the feeling of being an island in the middle of a vast ocean." -"Maximum Shelf"

"I was blown away from the first chapter all the way to the end. Fukuda did an excellent job turning the world of vampirism upside down. Wonderful descriptions, great imagination and very tight characters. If you love vampire worlds, then read this book. You will not want to put this one down!" -Night Owl Reviews (Reviewer Top Pick)
