All I wanted was you

I love Hunger Games so much, so this book is basically a version of Hunger Games. But rather if Katniss Everdeen never existed.

Emma Oakley, a sixteen year old girl who never stopped suffering, had learnt to mask her pain with quietness and emotional absence. Her brother, Oscar, was eight and was too kind for the dangerous world they lived in. Emma could stand the endless pressure, the constant oppression, because her late father had taught her how to hunt, and how to use the forest as a city of refuge.

In this world, she and her family were the poorest of the poorest, but it wasn't only in money. Her father was killed in a mining accident, many parents were, but that wasn't what was so poor about her family. When her father had died, her mother had completely zoned out, like didn't feed her children for weeks. That's when Emma knew she would have to start hunting for survival.

But the suffering didn't end there.

Every year, one girl and one boy from each district would have to be chosen to compete... to the death.

Introducing, the 99th hunger games.
