The Hunted by Matt de la Peña

4.0

An exciting, suspenseful, thrilling, edge-of-your seat conclusion to the events of [b:The Living|13515320|The Living (The Living, #1)|Matt de la Pena|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1380695038s/13515320.jpg|19071680] as Shy, Carmen, Marcus, and Shoeshine end up back on land...but between the earthquakes and Romero Disease, the land is nothing like it was when they left it. What happens to society when society has been devastated? The realness of the diverse characters always strikes me as being honest, and not what the focus is, but what the reality is. Their fight for survival, understanding, their families, a vaccine, and each other lead the pacing of the plot to the final lines.

Spoiler

Will be very interested to hear what others think about the very ending of the book. I was left wondering how it could end like that and not feeling like I knew where that would leave everything. I'm not sure Shy's journey is done.
