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 has a deadly secret: he's one of the last remaining humans alive and he's trying to pass in a society of predators who hunger for his blood. Unlike his classmates, he can't run with lightning speed, sunlight doesn't hurt him and he doesn't have an unquenchable blood lust. Gene's only defense lies in his carefully constructed façade, but when he's chosen for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hunt the last remaining humans, Gene's life begins to crumble around him, especially when he's faced with disturbing new truths about his past and a destiny he never imagined. An action-packed debut from author Andrew Fukuda, the Hunt Trilogy follows Gene as he fights to escape the hungry predators chasing. Get caught up in the action with The Hunt, The Prey and The Trap. Together for the first time in one collection.

This is a hard series to rate. It does a lot of things wrong. But it also does a lot of things right.
Let's come to the biggest thing wrong with the book. It's the incomplete and inconsistent world building. The technology that the duskers have, how their economy works, their social hierarchy, none of that makes any sense. Their geography makes no sense, I have no clue how big the land they live in really is.
But despite all the poor world building, I think the book accomplishes what it sets out to do, it makes you feel. It makes you feel the fear the protagonists experience. It makes you feel the love and loyalty they have, and their despair and confusion. It's pretty good character work. It does have a YA feel to it sometimes, complete with moronic decisions and a hint of a love triangle, but the author makes it work.
It's very different from the books I typically go for, I prefer epic fantasy, but I am glad I read this one.
