| IndieBound*This book is book #2 in a series. The synopsis may contain spoilers for those of you who haven't read The Hunt*
For Gene and the remaining humans—or hepers—death is just a heartbeat away. On the run and hunted by society, they must find a way to survive in The Vast... and avoid the hungry predators tracking them in the dark. But they’re not the only things following Gene. He’s haunted by the girl he left behind and his burgeoning feelings for Sissy, the human girl at his side.Why I Can't Wait: I absolutely LOVED The Hunt, and with that cliffhanger ending I cannot WAIT to find out what's going to happen next!!!
When they discover a refuge of exiled humans living high in the mountains, Gene and his friends think they’re finally safe. Led by a group of intensely secretive elders, the civilisation begins to raise more questions than answers. A strict code of behaviour is the rule, harsh punishments are meted out, young men are nowhere to be found—and Gene begins to wonder if the world they’ve entered is just as evil as the one they left behind. As life at the refuge grows more perilous, he and Sissy only grow closer. In an increasingly violent world, all they have is each other... if they can only stay alive.

I haven't read The Hunt but fancy new cover designs for it! It sounds even more intense than The Hunt.
ReplyDeleteI didn't read the first one, but this sounds good. I like the cover.
ReplyDeleteI SO need to get on reading the first one. At first I was kinda "meh" about it but now I think it seems totally unique!
ReplyDeleteMy WOW
I'm still debating whether or not to read the sequel, since the first book was just an 'okay' novel.
ReplyDeleteI still haven't read The Hunt, but I'm loving the new covers!

I really liked THE HUNT, too! I hadn't seen this cover yet, it's pretty awesome. :)

I love this new cover! But I'm not sure I like the new cover for The Hunt. I think it's the close up pick of the guy in that cover. I found The Hunt quite weird but I am still looking forward to read reading this one and see what happens to all of the characters.
