Hunger (Gone, 2)

Welcome back to the FAYZ! This is Book 2 in the series that Stephen King calls a "driving, torrential narrative."

An uneasy calm has settled over Perdido Beach. But soon, fear explodes into desperation as food supplies dwindle and starvation sets in.

More and more kids are developing strange powers and, just as frighteningly, so are the animals in the FAYZ: talking coyotes, swimming bats and deadly worms with razor-sharp teeth are just the beginning.

For Sam Temple the strain of leadership is beginning to show and he's got more than just dwindling rations and in-fighting to worry about – Caine is back with the psychotic whiphand, Drake, by his side.

And deep in the ground, the biggest danger of all is getting hungry . . .

The GONE series is Lord of the Flies for the 21st century. In turns breathtaking, harrowing, and utterly terrifying. Its complex characters and moral dilemmas will delight fans of The Hunger Games, Divergent and The Maze Runner. This is dystopian fiction at its best.

Oh. My. Hunger took some time for me to get into. It was a slow start at the beginning but after getting 1/2 to 3/4 of the way through I was at the edge of my seat the whole time, and couldn't stop listening!

Even better than Gone, again I couldn't stop reading! The plots and characters are great, and the twists are fantastic. It ended on a nice cliffhanger too. The countdown based plot, multiple points of view and the tonnes of action reminds me of the tv show 24, which is a definite plus. 5 stars easy, can't wait to see what Lies has in store
