"Where can a human hide in a world run by vampires?"

Fresh Fiction Review

The Prey
Andrew Fukuda

Reviewed by Debbie Wiley

Young Adult Adventure

THE PREY picks up right where THE HUNT left off....

Gene, Sissy, and the other four boys are on the run from the vampires. Humans (called hepers) are considered practically extinct and the vampires are unable to resist the lure of their scent, even if it means guaranteed death for the vampires. All Gene and the other humans have are a few mysterious leads from a man known as The Scientist, a man who has promised a land of milk and honey where humans can live safely and without fear. Will they find a safe haven?

THE PREY is the spectacular second installment in The Hunt series. I strongly recommend reading the first book, The Hunt, prior to starting THE PREY. Secondary characters have been developed in the first novel that play small but important pieces of the story from Gene's perspective. One thing I particularly like about THE PREY is that Andrew Fukuda doesn't waste a lot of time recapping what happened in the first book. Instead, Fukuda jumps right into the action and keeps the fast pace going until the very last page.

The world of The Hunt series is continuing to expand with THE PREY. Andrew Fukuda crafts an interesting vampire lore, as the vampires are fairly ordinary, albeit emotionless, until they scent human blood. However, THE PREY shows us that vampires are not the only dangers in the world nor are they the most diabolical creatures out there. Andrew Fukuda does a great job at showing us just how far some are willing to go to adapt and survive in a world that has been decimated for humans.

I was eagerly awaiting the release of THE PREY and I was not disappointed! The third book can't get here soon enough as I can't wait to see what happens next. We end THE PREY with a slight cliffhanger- more of a revelation actually- and I'm curious as to just how Andrew Fukuda intends to conclude the series. THE PREY is a young adult book you don't want to miss!

SUMMARY

Don’t miss the electrifying second book in the must-read trilogy of the year!

With death only a heartbeat away, Gene and the remaining humans must find a way to survive long enough to escape the hungry predators chasing them through the night. But they’re not the only things following Gene. He’s haunted by Ashley June who he left behind, and his burgeoning feelings for Sissy, the human girl at his side.

Their escape takes them to a refuge of humans living high in the mountains. Gene and his friends think they’re finally safe, but not everything here is as it seems. And before long, Gene must ask himself if the new world they’ve entered is just as evil as the one they left behind. As their enemies close in on them and push Gene and Sissy closer, one thing becomes painfully clear: all they have is each other…if they can stay alive.

Chilling, inventive, and electrifying, The Prey is the second book in Andrew Fukuda's The Hunt series.
