Hunger (Gone, 2)

The second book in Michael Grant's New York Times bestselling Gone series, Hunger is a thrilling, action-packed story that is impossible to put down.

It's been three months since all the adults disappeared. Gone. Food ran out weeks ago and starvation is imminent. Meanwhile, the normal teens have grown resentful of the kids with powers. And when an unthinkable tragedy occurs, chaos descends upon the town. There is no longer right and wrong. Each kid is out for himself and even the good ones turn murderous. But a larger problem looms. The Darkness, a sinister creature that has lived buried deep in the hills, begins calling to some of the teens in the FAYZ. Calling to them, guiding them, manipulating them.

The Darkness has awakened. And it is hungry.

“Readers will be unable to avoid involuntarily gasping, shuddering, or flinching while reading this suspense-filled story.” —Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) (starred review)

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
