This week I'm waiting on... 

The Hunt by Andrew Fukuda

* Book will be released May 8, 2012

Check out the description from Goodreads:

"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 book looks like a really great read, I know I sure devoured the excerpt of it that's on its Barnes & Noble page.  I think the whole trying to blend in with vampires and humans being almost extinct would make for quite the interesting reversal of the usual roles. I might just buy the kindle version so I can read it at work the day it's released. :)
