Synopsis

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?

Goodreads review by Steph on May 09, 2012

If there is anything good  coming from the newer crops of dystopian fiction these days it's one thing: Evil, ravenous vampires are back. With books like The Immortal Rules and now The Hunt, YA thiller fans are sure to be pleased by this turn of events. I know I am. Unfortunately, The Hunt failed to......more

Goodreads review by Giselle on May 10, 2012

Definitely creative, but awfully bizarre to the point of being cheesy, The Hunt is perfect if you're looking for a mindless read with an interesting concept. However, if you sit for a minute and think about it, this whole plot has no justification. Why? Because there's absolutely nothing that makes......more

Goodreads review by Natalie on December 06, 2014

"He's testing me. Sizing me up." Funny. That's what I was going to say about The Hunt. I don't think I've ever encountered a book that felt like such a waste of space as this one. It's mindless, meaningless stuffing. And you know what? I was enjoying it in the beginning. The writing was decent; th......more

Imagine living in a world where everyone is vampiric. And you are not. Where everyone except the lucky you is horribly different. Where you survive by mimicry and luck and skill to pretent to be something you are not and hope never to be. Where you are alone. And getting close with anyone would be s......more
