So here is my book for this weeks Wishlist Wednesday:
Goodreads Synopsis:
Don’t Sweat. Don’t Laugh. Don’t draw attention to yourself. And most of all, whatever you do, do not fall in love with one of them.
Gene is different from everyone else around him. He can’t run with lightning speed, sunlight doesn’t hurt him and he doesn’t have an unquenchable lust for blood. Gene is a human, and he knows the rules. Keep the truth a secret. It’s the only way to stay alive in a world of night—a world where humans are considered a delicacy and hunted for their blood.
When he’s chosen for a once in a lifetime opportunity to hunt the last remaining humans, Gene’s carefully constructed life begins to crumble around him. He’s thrust into the path of a girl who makes him feel things he never thought possible—and into a ruthless pack of hunters whose suspicions about his true nature are growing. Now that Gene has finally found something worth fighting for, his need to survive is stronger than ever—but is it worth the cost of his humanity?
This one has been out since May 2012, but this is the first time I have come across it. I think it sounds exciting! The synopsis sounds just my kind of book. I like books where people are fighting for survival, it does make an exhilirating read. I've now added this one to the wishlist, so hopefully I will be able to get a copy soon. It's also part of a series, so it will be good to see how the first book goes.

Oh I totally know how you feel! This book is also on my to-read list but like you say I haven't come across it.
Great pick! :)
I have that book on my TBR pile but I doubt I'll get to it any time soon. Hope you get your copy fast :)
Oh! This looks good. It's on my TBR for a while now. Hope you'll get it soon!
My husband saw this book at the bookstore and was really interested in it. I think he got the ebook but I doubt he will get to it anytime soon.
I'd like to read this one too. I have heard a lot of good things about it, but it doesn't seem like my kind of thing. Still, with all the positive reviews, I'd like to give it a go! Good pick!

I like survival stories, too, especially when they get into the psychology of the survivors. I hope this one turns out to be one of them. =)
This looks really interesting. I'm enjoying reading survival stories mostly in a post-apocalyptic world and just finished Eden by Keary Taylor and would recommend it if you like similar books! :) Hope you get a copy soon!

I'm sure it will be a great read, but I am so done with the vampire thing.
