But then, he is given a once-in-a-lifetime chance, a chance to participate in the Hunt. During the hunt, the lucky vampires, selected by lottery, will be able to hunt down humans and feast on their flesh. Gene has been chosen. Amid growing suspicions about his identity, Gene finds a girl, a girl who harbors a closely guarded secret. Now, if Gene is to survive the Hunt, he must be prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice.

There was this one moment in the book that just made me literally scream in joy and delight. Literally. I reread it over and over and each time, I just felt this surge of happiness wash over me. That's what I felt was one of the strongest features of this book: emotion. Terror, relief, anger, they were all portrayed so realistically, I could seriously feel them too. Otherwise, the plot and characters of this book were pretty good although I didn't enjoy the ending (kind of cliff-hanger-y but without much suspense).
Overall: I still can't get over the emotion of the book. Almost enough to make up for the ending. Almost. But pretty good read anyways.
