About this ebook

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?

Ratings and reviews

This is NOT the sappy, teen angst, lovey-dovey, cliche, over-done Vampire story. This is dystopian fiction at it's finest. The protagonist develops and matures through-out, and though he was difficult to understand at first, and I found myself perplexed sometimes at his naivete, as the story goes on, you begin to comprehend his perception and why he is the way he is. He is a human who was never really afforded the right to BE human, pretending to be something he is not because to be what he actually is is certain death. He ends up battling with what is right and what means survival. I highly recommend this book. This is definitely NOT the kind of book you think it is. You may be pleasantly surprised. =)

If you read this with dracula or the cullens in mind... you will not like this book one bit!!! It has great potential for a series... only thing weird was the wrist scratching.

Fanatastic, enticing read for the mind! Each chapter that goes by, there isn't a moment which the author doesn't leave the reader craving for more details.
