The Hunted

By Charlie Higson
The Hunted by Charlie Higson digital book - Fable

Publisher Description


The sickness struck everyone sixteen and older. First it twisted their minds; next it ravaged their bodies. Now the sickos roam the streets, crazed and hungry for young flesh.

Ella's friends had told her that the country would be safer than the city. They were wrong. Now they're dead and Ella's all alone--alone, that is, except for her silent rescuer, Scarface. But she doesn't even know if he's a kid or a grown-up.

Back in London, Ed is determined to find Ella and keep his promise to Small Sam that he will reunite sister and brother. But getting out of town has never been more dangerous. It seems that every sicko in the country is coming from all directions, almost as if they're being summoned to the capital. Will anything be able to stop the invading horde?

The Hunted Reviews

Anxious Face with sweat“I SWEAR IF ELLA AND SAM DONT GET BACK TOGETHER I AM GOING TO CRY.”
“It was okay, I guess. I hate how much they just talked throughout half of the book and the action only started nearing the end or so. I don't like the unnecessary deaths added, like Harry and Charlie Higson adding new characters only for them to not really matter. I wanted more of the main cast to be killed off, like Arran Harper, Bam, Jack, and so on. Maliks backstory was heartbreaking, full stop. However, the fact it was just him talking the entire time and just a lore dump really made me not interested since I knew it wasn't going to mean anything in the next book. Maybe I'm just weird for thinking that? I don't know or I needed to read more? Did not finish, probably going to stop from here on out despite there being only one book left because I feel like reading these now just feels like eating chalk. Way too much lore dumping and not enough intensity for me.”
