When we said that this was a cross between The Hunger Games and 30 Days of Night, we weren't kidding. Not only are we already including the sequel (The Prey) on our winter reading list, we are hoping that they make this one into a movie!
Gene, a human, lives in a world inhabited by vampires. How does he do it? He acts as though he is one of them. Every day Gene follows a strict regimen: don't sweat, don't laugh, don't draw attention to yourself, don't be seen in the sunlight, and don't ever let anyone know that you are human. Humans are considered a delicacy and these vampires don't just take your blood, they eat the meaty parts too. In an effort to boost morale, the vampires decide to hold a human "hunt." This one is really special because it will involve the last remaining humans who have been raised in a zoo-like enclosure. The hunt will be televised and hunters will be chosen by lottery. Well, it's Gene's lucky day when his number is drawn and he is chosen to becom a hunter. With cameras following his every move, how will he ever continue to keep his true identity a secret?
This one moves fast and stops with a pretty wicked cliff-hanger. It's also not for the squeamish- remember, they eat the meaty parts. We like this rotation back to a non-sparkly vampire and we anticipate seeing more of this type throughout the year. Enjoy!
Next up: Seraphina- Oct. 5th
