Goddamn it. I just wrote a good review of this book and then the computer just ate it.Long story short? It's good. You should give it a try.

This beautiful little piece of book mail arrived a while ago and got bumped to the top of my to-read pile, because I have a bit of a crush on Dawson and her work. Her last book, Servants of the Storm, blew my mind with her writing and the WTF twist at the end. (I’m still hanging out for a sequel, BTW!)Hit didn’t disappoint.The genre is dystopian, but it’s the kind of dystopian we don’t often see except in zombie fiction — the kind where the world is just starting to collapse. The government has

Hit by Delilah S Dawson Hit #1. Dystopian YA thriller. Cliffhanger. Fast paced and tightly written. Engrossing and electrifying. Do you read every line in those contracts or software agreements? Imagine if in the small print it includes a kill or die condition. Scary thought what may be in those 20 pages of legalese. The banks have taken over for the government. There are no more police. Teenagers have been tested with a hidden agenda.The bank: Pay your debt or become a mercenary. Or die. I like...

I'd never heard of this book or author until I seen it on Pulse It. I thought the cover was awesome and different plus the synopsis sounded pretty interesting. I started reading it right away without looking at any reviews. I liked this book at first but around 20% in, so many things started popping up that I found to be concerning. After that, everything just started to fall apart.Okay, first thing that I hated, is the main character is named Patsy Klein. I've never wanted to throw a book at th...

Dawson. I follow her on Twitter and love reading her blog posts. She’s incredible funny, laugh until tears are leaking from my eyes and can’t breathe funny. With how much I love all of the things I’ve read by her online, I figured that Hit couldn’t possibly miss, but, once again, I’ve been pro...

*Genre* Young Adult, Science Fiction*Rating* 3.0*My Thoughts*Delilah S. Dawson's Hit is a story that isn't far out of the realm of possibilities for a country, like the US, who has borrowed trillions dollars and continues to have unfunded liabilities that they can't pay back. Imagine, however, that instead of allowing the US government to continue it's spending and borrowing ways, a rather large bank (Valor Savings) steps in and buys the countries entire debt back.*Full Review posted @ Gizmos Re...

*Review copy provided by publisher via Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review. Thank you so much!* This book was like one of those 911 calls that this book's world couldn't take—breathtaking, heart-pounding, and certainly life changing. Coming from being my first Delilah S. Dawson book, I’m all but disappointed and this is definitely going to make it onto my top 10 favourite books that were released in 2015. I feel so mega-fortunate to have been given a copy of this way early before the

**Thank you so much to Simon Pulse for providing me with a copy to read in exchange for an honest review!** This book immediately starts off with a bang. We find out that the United States has been taken over by a bank called Valor National and that the government is no longer. Patsy, the protagonist, has been chosen to go after ten different people who are in extreme debt to this bank. Each of these ten people has to choose one of three things: pay off the debt now in full, become a bounty hunt...

I read this for the first time almost 5 years ago 😳And it definitely held up! I very much enjoyed it the second time around and am excited to finish off the duology 👏🏻~~~I genuinely enjoyed this book. I thought the premise sounded interesting and reminded me very much for some reason of Repo! The Genetic Opera which I love. I was a big fan of Patsy as a character and the way she reacted to being in such an impossibly horrifying situation. I loved Wyatt and I very much enjoyed the little bits and...

Hit was not the best book I’ve read this year, which is a shame because Ms. Dawson is lovely and I was really intrigued by the concept. I mean, hitmen?! YES PLEASE. Give me alllll the hitmen. Unfortunately, I ended up having quite a few issues with this book and I didn’t really enjoy it after the first fifty or so pages.Hit starts off well, as do a lot of books that I end up not enjoying, as it introduces Patsy, the main character, and a world where a bank has pretty much taken over the American...

3.5 starsHit asks more questions than it is prepared to answer.Plot: The United States has sold its debt to the banks, and because no one cares about what they're signing, the banks have legally been killing the "weakest links" of society. What I liked the most about this concept is that it made me think, a lot. As a society, we no longer even consider documents without scribbling our John Hancock, so what's stopping anyone from abusing that power? While it started off as Patsy knocking off 10 p...

A finished copy was provided by the publisher for review.A teenager who has to kill ten people in five days or Valor Savings will murder her mother. This is the gist of Hit. It sounds crazy right?? Well I thought so too. It started off all right at the beginning where Patsy is at the first kill and she flashes back to the past as to how it all started...But then it went down hill...I thought it was going to be some sort of take-down with Valor Savings because who would take this offer?! Survivin...

This is the third review I have written for this book. The first one was brief and basically just said I didn't like it. The second one slightly elaborated the first one. Each time I thought I could move on from this, I found myself contemplating it further. Now that I've had some time to think about what I liked and didn't like about Hit, I might be able to put it to rest.I did enjoy this story. I really loved Patsy, she was well written and I connected to her. Plus, she's a knitter! She knits

In the not distant future, America gets out of debt because corporate America, Valor Bank, pays it all off. That somehow equates to Valor owning America. Constitution is null and void, laws are gone, and Valor calls all the shots. Valor also calls in loans to be paid in full. Pay it now, pledge to be an indentured servant for five days to be a bounty hunter, or die via the teenager delivering your choices and holding a gun. That was the choice Patsy Klein (really) heard given to her mother. Exce...
