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, aka a heper, and he knows the rules.  Keep the truth a secret.  It's the only way to stay alive in a world where humans are hunted.  When he's chosen by lottery to hunt the last remaining humans, Gene's carefully constructed life begins to crumble.  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 are growing. Now that he has finally found something worth fighting for, his need to survive is stronger than ever—but will it come at the cost of his humanity?

"One of the most brilliant, original books I've read in a very long time. This is the kind of book you'll want to stay up with all night to finish!"
