For Tremayne, surviving as a half-turned zombie within a dome filled with green fog, acid-spitting cats, and hellhounds was hard enough. All he needed was some street smarts and a trusty knife.

But when deadly yet beautiful half-zombie, Red, turns up, yellow eyes filled with vengeance, Tremayne’s heart is lost to her. Against his better judgement, he joins this fighter in taking on the Game Hunters who enjoy zombie-scalping, ruthless killing and who aim to ultimately eliminate zombies for sport.

What happens if the half-zombies turn out to be as deadly as the Game Hunters? Who has more to lose? Game Hunter is full of betrayal and mystery, with plot twists around every corner. Find out what happens when the deadly Game Hunters grow desperate in Half Turned, Book One of this fast-paced and action-packed series.

5.0 out of 5 stars ” I really enjoyed this YA zombie novel
Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2017

“You have an angel’s gift for bringing life and the devil’s gift for taking it. How and why are a mystery to us all, a mystery no one could begin to figure out.”

I really enjoyed this YA zombie novel. It was a fresh take on the zombie apocalypse with a societal structure that I’ve never seen before and brand new rules for zombies. I’ve grown bored of “The Walking Dead” style stories, and this is not that. It brings something new and fresh to the table.

The internal and external dialogue was funny and charming, the characters are very likable and easy to root for. The story telling was fast paced and never boring.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fun zombie romp!
Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2018

Characters:

Tremayne is adorable. He is so painfully awkward but also awesome. He is sort of stuck in his younger self. He is a complex character that was fun to follow. Red is spunky and tough as nails. They make a great team and are sickeningly adorable together—cute budding romance. There is a whole host of supporting characters. Although some of the bad guys are a little over the top they were still interesting and played their part well. 

Plot:

This is almost non-stop action. There are a few down time moments but it almost goes forward at a breakneck speed. I'm happy to say I was pleasantly surprised by most of what happened. Although some of the action did get a little repetitive most of it moves it forward. At times I'd forget this was a zombie book. I liked the aspect of being different doesn't mean you aren't still a person who deserves rights.  

Overall:

This book was a lot of fun! It was funny and didn't take itself too seriously. It starts off really strong but sort of languishes in the middle before circling back around and getting right back to being awesome. The characters are very well written and I liked nearly all of them! 

Rating:

4 Stars

A fun zombie romp! If you love zombie books with a coming of age plot and lots of action this is perfect for you.

A zombie tale with heart (one they aren't eating), that was different. I like the lead characters. They were fun. It was a bit like reading one of the Westerns written from an Indian perspective. It moved along well and held my interest.

4.0 out of 5 stars I don’t usually count zombie stories as my genre but thought I’d read something different and wasn’t at all disappointed by this book

This book gives what I found to be a very unique and intriguing perspective on the whole zombie apocalypse scenario. It was refreshing to read about the other point of view, not the hunted humans running for life as is so cliche, but the sympathetic and passionate attitude of the protagonist Tremayne, who is himself 1/4 zombie.
I don’t usually count zombie stories as my genre but thought I’d read something different and wasn’t at all disappointed by this book. Great read!

5.0 out of 5 stars This was a really good book! Very well written

This was a really good book! Very well written, I was completely in the story and not distracted by any writing errors, which is important for me. This is a great book for teens. I'm not a teen, but my kids and I read the same books and this is right up their alley and I will refer them to the book! It's an interested perspective on zombies, but it's not gruesome or extravagantly violent. There is a shade of romance that adds a nice touch.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not my type of story
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2019
Though this story truly has a different point of view from every other zombie book, I was unable to “get into it”.
Writing was good , characters ok. Just not my style. Sorry
Also realize I am not the age the story is aimed toward

Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2017

This book is an interesting tale of two teenage half zombies Tremayne and Red. I really enjoyed looking at their zombie world from a different perspective than I have ever seen or read before. It's not often you cheer for the zombies and not the humans trying to kill them for tv entertainment.

I really enjoyed this book, it's definitely worth reading. I look forward to seeing what comes next.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and Gripping!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 25, 2017

At first I wasn’t sure what I’d think of this book as I usually read mainstream fantasy such as Brandon Sanderson.
However, the author has created some very real characters. I was quickly sucked into the quirks and thoughts of the main character and then all the others as they come onto the scene.
There are some great twists and unexpected turns behind doors that make for a good bit of suspense.
I eagerly await the next book in the Game Hunter series. I’ll be keeping an eye out for its release in 2018.

Game Hunter is the first book in the Game Hunter series by Mark Kloss. This is an intriguing Dystopian/paranormal Zombie story- with some sci-fi elements, action, drama, and more. The story is very original- it’s definitely not your typical zombie story. It has a fun, ‘Hunger Games’ meets ‘The Running Man’ meets ‘Warm Bodies’ feel to it that quickly grabbed my attention and kept me turning the pages to find out what would happen.
Mr. Kloss is a new-to-me author and I am really pleased that I took a chance on this book. The blurb was intriguing, and the story promised to take me on an action-packed adventure which lured me into purchasing it, and the author certainly delivered the goods. Mr. Kloss takes zombie lore and gives us his own spin on it. He weaves a great story, easily holding my attention from the beginning, till the end. He has crafted interesting and well-developed characters that really made this story even better.
The book has a great pace and a smooth flow, although the story did seem to lag in the middle for a while, before picking up again for a strong finish.
Overall, it’s a great read and I look forward to book two!

Thank you, Mr. Kloss!

As some of the other reviews have pointed out, the premise of this book is interesting and novel. A zombie book written from the perspective of the zombies (well a quarter at least).

It's an action packed rollercoaster which I raced through. The writer includes a number of exciting set pieces as the reader follows the main protagonists through thick and thin.

An impressive achievement and I look forward to reading the next instalment.
