Andrew Fukuda - The ​Hunt
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 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, and he knows the rules. Keep the truth a secret. It’s the only way to stay alive in a world of night—a world where humans are considered a delicacy and hunted for their blood. When he’s chosen for a once in a lifetime opportunity to hunt the last remaining humans, Gene’s carefully constructed life begins to crumble around him. 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 about his true nature are growing. Now that Gene has finally found something worth fighting for, his need to survive is stronger than ever—but is it worth the cost of his humanity?

J. L. Armentrout - Ónix
Daemon ​Blackkel összekapcsolódni szívás... Ráadásul nemrég eltökélte, hogy bebizonyítja: amit irántam érez, az nem csupán bizarr kapcsolódásunk mellékhatása, hanem valódi érzelem. Nem tudom, mit gondoljak efelől, de tény, hogy mostanában már korántsem olyan bunkó velem, mint korábban. De nem ez a legnagyobb problémánk. A Védelmi Minisztérium emberei körülöttünk szaglásznak. Ha rájönnek, mire képes Daemon, és főleg, hogy mi ketten összekapcsolódtunk, akkor nekünk annyi. Az iskolában felbukkanó új srác sem hiányzott. Ő is tele van titkokkal. Tudja, mi okozza a körülöttem zajló sok furcsaságot, és segítene is rajtam... de ennek súlyos ára van. És aztán az események még vadabb fordulatot vesznek. Láttam valakit, akit halottnak hittem. Szóljak vagy hallgassak? Mi történt Dawsonnal? Ki árulta el? És mit akarnak Daemonéktól - na meg tőlem - a védelmiek? Az már biztos: Daemon Blackkel összekapcsolódni nem egy életbiztosítás. Senki nem az, akinek látszik. És nem mindenki éli túl a hazugságokat...
