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.
