After just finishing the Hunger Games trilogy for the second time I picked up The Hunt. I had purchased the book and put it on my shelf to read to I can honestly say I didn’t remember what the cover said about it. I wasn’t sure if the people were vampires or not to start with. It was never openly said. However, the characteristics were there. I am wondering though (stop reading if you don’t like spoilers), how is it vampires go to school and the humans can blend in? We’ve always been force fed that vampires don’t age, however in this book they do. Not a bad thing, just different. Also I’d love some explanation as to why they are always wrist scratching and their mating rituals of rubbing arms and armpits. It’s a strange one. However the book is very fast paced and I wasn’t prepared for the surprises the author throws out. I look forward to reading the second book.

Quick read, but didn't really get the character growth I expected. I did like the quirky description of vampires.

I read this as part of my book club and I had no idea it was about vampires, well kind of vampires. It didn't take me long to figure it out though. I was really sucked in (pun not intended) by the writing. The chapters were long at times, but it was so faced paced that I had to keep reading!
The concept was new and a little horrifying. Humans, also knows and herpers are no longer in control. Some things about the story I found really strange and felt like they weren't thought through. Like how the 'people' aka vampires can smell sweat, blood etc but what about when women are hiding out like Gene is and they get their periods? You can tell this book is written by a man.
I enjoyed this but there were lots of flaws to the concept. I'd still like to read the others in the series because the book ends with a cliff hanger. I do still think this is worth having a go.

To bylo tak nádherně nechutné, napínavé a krvavé, že si to míň než pět hvězdiček nezaslouží!!! :)

Страхотна книга изпълнена с напрежение от начало до край. Изключително непредвидима и със сигурност ме изненада с оригиналността си. Определено не е като всяка друга книга за вампири. Кара те да нямаш търпение за следващите части.

Great concept.... Still bugged by how the whole population become vampires though... Evolution?
Fast-moving, good ideas and characters, can picture it quite clearly as a film.

je lui donne seulement deux étoiles parce qu’il m’a permit de survivre durant quelques matins et après-midi au boulot
à un ennui mortel. le plot en lui-même aurait pu être intéressant, mais aucun personnage n’est vraiment à garder et je souhaite donner à l’auteur (ou à la traduction) la palme des pires comparaisons ou métaphores, j’ai cru que ça devenait une blague à un moment.
