    Sexy, gruesome, suspenseful: A great read!
  

*by R***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 25, 2013*

In a futuristic dystopia, where vampires (the murderous, non-sparkly kind!) have completely taken over and replaced the human race, 17 year old Gene is trying to blend in. Simply staying alive is a constant struggle, as if the vamps were to find out that he is human, he would be devoured in seconds. But every decade, a hunt is to take place. A random selection of vampires are to be taken to the heper (their word for human) institute, where they will learn to hunt down the last remaining hepers. When Gene is chosen to compete, he is at a loss of what to do. But there is one thing he does know: Do not fall in love withe one of them.**********************************I found this book very entertaining, if not a little strange. But who doesn't love a nice, original idea?The protagonist, Gene, was like-able enough. It would have been nice if he wasn't so detached from other characters. I never really liked the main love-interest, Ashley-June. She appeared quite arrogant and conceited. Darn, I really wish I could tell you who I do like, but it is a big spoiler! What really made the book funny and interesting for me was the unique and comical mannerisms that the Vampires possess. What I find annoying in the masses of other YA Vampire novels is that they portray vampires as the same species as humans, except their lust for blood and their amplified skills. Andrew Fukuda went the extra step ahead and made the Vampires an actual different species than humans! For example, instead of laughing, they just scratch their wrists! Its fun to imagine it; Picture your friend telling a joke, and instead of giggling, your friends just scratch their wrists with straight faces! Wow, it just cracks me up every time. They even drool (like, non-stop, leaky faucet type drool) like crazy when they get excited! Do  you even want to know the down-right freaky things that they do to substitute for kissing?I know that I gave this book a pretty low ranking, but that is primarily because of Gene's detachment from other characters, and my general dislike for the female protagonist, Ashley-June. But I can tell you this, its not a boring, simple read. No, you actually have to give this book your full attention, and it will have you at the end of your seats! This book is extremely suspenseful, and since he could be exposed as a human at any  moment, it means that you can never quite relax. You will be turning pages like a storm!I actually do encourage you to read this book, and despite my criticisms, I guarantee that you wont be disappointed.Visit my new book review blog!: Midnight Reads YA Fiction Reviews : [...]

    Intense thrilling ride...for Vampire and Hunger Games fans!!!!!!!!!
  

*by B***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 2, 2013*

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?My Review:WOW...Where do I start with this one?  I have been told over and over I needed to read it but for some reason it just continued to sit on my shelf....hmm..BIG mistake. I began this book on the 2nd to last day of the year and finished it on January 1. So this book will go in my FAVORITES for 2012 & 2013!!!!I LOVED this book from the first pages. If you loved The Hunger Games and also love vampires then this is a MUST read. It is such a totally different book than anything I have ever read. I usually like to read books from a female point of view but I adapted to Gene so quickly it was really effortless. His character has such a deep will to survive and you cant help but "root" for him. I love the twists and turns in the story as well. I wont give anything away but I can say that at one point I was shocked...I did NOT see a character appearing that I should have from the get go! WOW! The book is written as if vampires are the leaders of the world and "hepers" also known as humans are the prey. There are very few hepers in existence and those that are are placed into a "Hunt" once every ten or so years to engage the vampire population and raise popularity for their Ruler. I loved the hepers instantly and began to root for them as well as Gene....All I can say is that you MUST read this for yourself. I turned pages well into the night...I literally could not put it down...ACTION PACKED but some parts do get a little squeamish...I mean we are dealing with VAMPIRES here!! ALL in all 5 stars for this one! and I literally cannot wait till January 31st when The Prey comes out!!!!

    Sleeping In The Hornets Nest.
  

*by B***X on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 5, 2018*

Gene is hiding in the hornet's nest. He is a human, known as a Heper, but has become so conditioned into hiding amongst the creatures who hunt him that he no longer appears as a Heper, thinks of himself as one and has in fact managed to convince everyone around him (all of which are not Hepers) that he is one of them: flesh eating, sunshine avoiding monsters. Hiding sweat, body hair, facial reactions, sneezes or God forbid, a cough, Gene has lost everything about himself in an effort to just stay alive and he might be just about to get caught!This book genuinely captivated me from start to finish and I really enjoyed the writing style. I was anxiously awaiting a moment when Gene might slip up and be ripped into tiny little Heper pieces. I'm not often exciting by "vampire" books - but this isn't that. In fact Fukuda doesn't once use that descriptor, despite his blood-thirsty, pointed-toothed characters and bat-like sleeping arrangements. And that might make it sound like any old vampire book, but there are some unique additions to this story which make it stand out from the crowd - not least of all the excessive dribbling and odd flirting techniques (which led to fits of giggles for me occasionally, despite the scary characters). I just think this book does something uniquely....weird? which other books haven't yet. And I liked that a lot. Somehow the quirky nature of the unnamed creatures makes them all the more sinister.The concept of the book is exciting, although not that original - a random selection of lucky (I'll say vampires for ease) vampires have been selected to enter the Hunt. A competition in which the group will train together to eventually be released to hunt down a group of Hepers - an insatiable treat of unimaginable reward for these hungry salivating beasts. Unless of course you're Gene, hiding in the very group who would love to eat you, and trying desperately not to break a sweat and get rumbled.The problem is: very little explanation of HOW this world came to be filled with these creatures and why there are basically no humans left is very poorly explored. That's an exaggeration actually - it's just not explored, period. Usually this would really irritate me, but the plot is so far fetched already and genuinely excited me enough to distract me from the holes. There's no two ways about it though, this is most definitely a very holey piece of Swiss Cheese.Despite the gaping holes in this book I just couldn't help but love it. There's something gripping about not knowing when the act will be up, what Gene might have to do to avoid being discovered, and most of all seeing his mishaps unravel. There's an unusual but striking balance here between humour and menace, and that's something not to be missed. I'm excited to see what happens next.
