The Hunt is a very different and dark read. The vampires of Fukuda's story aren't the sexy, sparkly vampires of most mainstream vampire literature—they're curious, unique beings with emotions, bodily functions, and quirks that are completely different from a human being’s. These strange characteristics make them even less human-like and more alien, menacing, and dangerous creatures. Gene walks a fine and dangerous line in trying to blend in with the vampires, and the politics, plots, and buried secrets that he gets sucked into are interesting. He doesn't fully understand what is going on around him, but with the help of Ashley June and the other humans, he learns what it means to be human, and that there comes a time to stop hiding because there are things in life worth fighting for. There is plenty of suspense, action, and blood and gore throughout the book, and a surprising twist and cliffhanger ending will leave readers wondering what will happen in the next book. Fukuda has written a very different, very dark read that is tense and harrowing.
Cover Comments: I like the colors of this cover! The way the cover has the ripped effect, and the silhouettes in motion at the bottom of the cover are very dark and menacing. This cover represents the book beautifully!
