Book two of The Hunt- and just as action packed! The Prey picks up immediately where The Hunt left off, so if you haven't read book one, you may want to stop reading now. We still stand by our original claim that this would make a great vampire movie.
Gene, Sissy, and the rest of the human survivors have managed to procure a boat and are quickly travelling down river. With the few remaining Hunters still following along the banks, they are trapped with a dwindling food supply and a rapidly approaching waterfall. But after discovering yet another cryptic message from Scientist- over the falls they must go. Surviving the journey, they eventually find themselves in a thriving community known as The Mission. Unfortunately, the Elders of this village are hiding many secrets that will turn everything that Gene and Sissy know about their world, on it's head. With the fate of the group hanging in the balance, a Hunter army has found a way to cross the desert and is bearing down upon the settlement. It's out of the fire and into the frying pan- and not everyone will make it that far.
We are happy to report that the action packed ending is well worth the wait and we are looking forward to the final book in the trilogy. We are also glad that Mr. Fukuda did not feel the need to up the gross factor- it would have only detracted from the group tension and relentless pursuit by the Hunters. We still recommend this one to the non-sparkly vampire fans, but be prepared for a bit of a cliff-hanger at the end of each book.
Next Up: Prodigy by Marie Lu- Feb. 8th
