What happens when the dream you’ve had your whole life isn’t what you’ve really expected?Olly and Hiro have dreamt of being hunters their whole lives, and after a grueling test, they have finally attained that dream. But now, the dream they worked so hard to achieve, the dream they were willing to put their lives at risk to get, isn’t all that they had imagined it to be.After the test, Olly, Hiro, and the remaining hunters find themselves facing the grey forest. One more step and they will receive their badge to become official hunters, and the task seemed simple enough.But hey, there’ll be no story if it really were that way.Book 2 of this series picked up right off from the end of the first book and the author jumped right in with the actions. Right in the first chapter, you get an inkling that something was wrong. And by the end of the chapter, it was a loud and clear sign that the task isn’t going to be easy at all, and the hunters have to stay together if they want to stay alive.Again, the story keeps you at the edge of your seat as the hunters fight for their lives. But what really hooks me up is the characters. After the first book, Olly and Hiro has grown up, but they’re still teens—or as what is politically correct: young adults—and well, you can imagine the things that go on between young adults in stressful situations.And it isn’t all fun and thrill. There are heart-wrenching moments that made me want to give a hug to Olly and Hiro.Another great book by the author and am eagerly waiting for the next.
