This dark, sapphic, anti-capitalist dystopia was exactly what I needed. Think Hunger Games, but make parents more complicit, and make the enemy Amazon. In this world, debt is rampant, and a mega company Caerus controls everything. Caerus allows people to charge any item they'd like, but once they are too far in debt, they must give Caerus the name of a family member--almost always a child-- who will be hunted and killed in a livestream for the entertainment of the masses.

Inesa and her brother run a taxidermy shop and do whatever it takes to stay out of debt. Their mother, however, is addicted to many things, and her debt eventually runs too high and she offers Inesa as her sacrifice. Melinoë is a Caerus assassin assigned to kill Inesa, but as the hunt begins, both girls begin to question everything--including their feelings for each other.
