Hit | Delilah S. Dawson
6 posts | 8 read | 13 to read
In order to save her mother, a teen is forced to become an indentured assassin in this sizzling dystopian thriller.No one reads the fine print. The good news is that the USA is finally out of debt. The bad news is that we were bought out by Valor National Bank, and debtors are the new big game, thanks to a tricky little clause hidden deep in the fine print of a credit card application. Now, after a swift and silent takeover that leaves 9-1-1 calls going through to Valor voicemail, they’re unleashing a wave of anarchy across the country. Patsy didn’t have much of a choice. When the suits showed up at her house threatening to kill her mother then and there for outstanding debt unless Patsy agreed to be an indentured assassin, what was she supposed to do? Let her own mother die? Patsy is forced to take on a five-day mission to complete a hit list of ten names. Each name on Patsy’s list has only three choices: pay the debt on the spot, agree to work as a bounty hunter, or die. And Patsy has to kill them personally, or else her mom takes a bullet of her own. Since yarn bombing is the only anarchy in Patsy’s past, she’s horrified and overwhelmed, especially as she realizes that most of the ten people on her list aren’t strangers. Things get even more complicated when a moment of mercy lands her with a sidekick: a hot rich kid named Wyatt whose brother is the last name on Patsy’s list. The two share an intense chemistry even as every tick of the clock draws them closer to an impossible choice. Delilah S. Dawson offers an absorbing, frightening glimpse at a reality just steps away from ours—a taut, suspenseful thriller that absolutely mesmerizes from start to finish.

Finished the audiobook for Hit by Delilah S. Dawson earlier this week. Turned out to be an intense novel and a great character study. It‘s set in a present-day dystopian America run by a bank, which feels frighteningly timely. #FridayReads #audiobook #DelilahSDawson #YA #youngadult

Got deeper into Hit while walking Wicket at the park this morning. Delilah S. Dawson spins what America would be if a bank replaced our government. I bet this sounded absurd when it came out in 2015. Feels all too prescient in 2018. #Hit #audiobook #WicketsWorld #DogsOfLitsy

Was desperately looking for a new audiobook to enjoy while walking my dog at the park, so I went searching through my TBR and Overdrive to see what I could get. Landed on Hit by Delilah S. Dawson, and damn... that first chapter is a doozy. #SpecialDelivery #audiobook #DelilahSDawson #YA #youngadult

Great spin on the dystopian world. Banks are the government. Great female lead who is strong, focused, and knits. My teen boy approved. #YA #middleschool

Day 28: Blue Books for Sapphire
.💠🌀💠🌀💠🌀💠🌀💠🌀💠.

Read Hit by Delilah S Dawson then come back to read this post. 💳🚚.

Go on.... I will wait............. Lalalalala............ this is one of my favorite #YA series (Strike is the next book). Great female lead in a society owned by banks. Which is how the would would be if Trump was president (the author tweeted this a few days ago and I choked on my coffee).
Give it a read!

MrBook Wow!!! #NiceStack!!! 8y
bmsddk This is beautiful! 😃 If you don't mind the question, where does the Day 28 prompt come from? 8y
josie281 It's from Instagram for LiveLaughBooks. I figured they carried over here as well! I know there are some photo a day themes floating about here as well. I think I saw a lot of map pics today. 8y
bmsddk Thanks 😀 The #somethingforsept challenge has been really fun, this one for LiveLaughBooks seems like another fun one to partake in!! 8y
