Praise for The Hunt

“The story is bona fide creepy, and as it builds to its cliff-hanger ending (which delivers quite a good twist), readers will be torn between hoping Gene can maintain the ruse and that he will take on the bloodsuckers already. As revolutions go, this one is well worth keeping on your radar.”

—Booklist

“In this terrifying and inventive adventure, Fukuda turns the vampire novel inside out.… With an exciting premise fueled by an underlying paranoia, fear of discovery, and social claustrophobia, this thriller lives up to its potential while laying groundwork for future books.”

—Publishers Weekly

“Take the overwhelming aloneness of I Am Legend, add in the hunt of The Hunger Games, and you’ll see why this combustible combo results in a tense moment-to-moment calculation of Gene’s chances at survival.”

—Justine Magazine

“Fukuda takes the feeling of isolation that dominates adolescence and builds a world around it in a novel where the tension rarely slackens. He turns up the violence a notch from The Hunger Games with language that is as graphic as it is eloquent. Readers will hanker for answers as they’ll discover a kindred spirit in Gene, who so eloquently describes the feeling of being an island in the middle of a vast ocean.”

—Maximum Shelf

“I was blown away from the first chapter all the way to the end. Fukuda did an excellent job turning the world of vampirism upside down. Wonderful descriptions, great imagination, and very tight characters. If you love vampire worlds, then read this book. You will not want to put this one down!”

—The Examiner
