The Hunt (The Hunt, #1)
by Andrew Fukuda
by Andrew Fukuda
Wow, this was such an interesting idea. Such a cool concept. Let me give you an inside look:
So in this world, humans or hepers are the minority. They are basically extinct. The world consists of these vampire-ish creatures.They are not your typical Vampire diaries/Twilight vamps. They are not romantic. In order for you, as a human to survive as our main character Gene does, you must blend in. You must look and smell like a vampire. This means, shaving all your hair, never showing an emotion on your face, never getting goosebumps, wearing fake fangs, deodorizing yourself, etc. This is crucial to survival. Standing out in the wrong way is death.
In this sick world, the rulers have decided it's time for a hunt, they will choose at random (probably not) individuals to participate in this. These "lucky" ones will get to hunt down the last of the remaining Hepers. It's sort of a last man standing ordeal. It's everyone out for themselves, bloodlust at it's most intense and time to attack.
Gene is chosen and so is another girl from his school, Ashley. He drools over her, but knows he cannot have her. He wants things to be different. But, he is alone.
Will he survive? How can he hide his essence amoung all these vamps (or whatever they are)? Can he escape?

Warning; this book is weird, just flat out weird. If you can tolerate the scratching elbows and hissing in the beginning I would say give it a good go. This one is not going to be for everyone, most definitely not for those not into dystopian and not for those who are going to nit-pick every detail. If you can let yourself escape into this world, it's actually quite good... but I can't guarantee that you will be able to...
(maybe that made sense)
Also, that ending!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow, I am hooked. Now, I really want to know what happens next, but I will say I could see myself getting bored with this cat and mouse game if something insane doesn't happen next!
Crystal, my BBP... so far our "bad books" haven't been to horrible. I'm glad I read this one. It's going to stay with me ;)

Ooooohhhhh, I wondered about that when they were getting ready for the hunt. I was afraid she was going to betray him. I hope she somehow survives to be in book 2.I love these weird books. If nothing else, they are memorable :) thanks for sharing partner.
Me too! I kept yelling at him "don't trust her"!! They both pulled off that elbow scene really well for (view spoiler)Definitely memorable XD
Thanks for reading it with me BBP =D I am on the look out for our next weird/infuriating read XD
