“De la Pena has created a rare thing: a plot-driven YA with characters worthy of a John Green novel.” —Entertainment Weekly onThe Living
“Everything I love mixed into one fantastic, relentless, action-packed story.” —James Dashner, #1New York Times bestselling author of the Maze Runner series on The Living
New York Times bestselling author Matt de la Pena’s The Hunted, the sequel toThe Living, is a high-energy, action-packed survival story.
For those left living, it’s kill or be killed. When Shy pulled himself from the wreckage of the Paradise Cruise luxury liner, he met Addie. Addie was rich and blond, and with no one else to trust, she told Shy a secret she never should have revealed.
It’s a secret that people would kill for—have killed for—and she has the piece that could turn everything on its ear. The problem? Shy has no idea where Addie is. Back home in California seems logical, but there are more ways to die back home than Shy could ever have guessed. And thanks to what Shy knows now, he’s a moving target.
