Rating: 5 out of 5

I always read stories revolving around a fight for survival quickly and on the edge of my seat. I read Hunters in a day. The premise was really different and unique from what I’ve read of other books. The sci-fi themes combined with the cyberpunk elements created a world that was worth diving into while being believable at the same time.The story is about Hiro and Olly, who find themselves in a competition that pits them against fierce warriors, obstacles, and challenges in order to determine if they are worthy enough to earn the title of Hunter, the titles namesake. Hiro and Olly have always dreamed of becoming Hunters. The dynamic of the determination to accomplish their childhood goals is strong in the beginning, but Hiro and Olly quickly realize that the fight for survival is very much real and the peril of becoming a hunter hits them both in the face like a ton of bricks.The writing is down to earth and dialogue heavy. For indie books, it’s actually pretty good. There are definitely some elements of the Hunger Games within this book considering the competition and gladiator esque themes. I didn’t mind since it’s still new and unique within itself. I can’t wait for the sequel considering the ending of this book.
