SQUID GAME AMERICAN BLOOD

Sadie Bennett has twenty three dollars to her name, an eviction notice hanging over her head, and a mother who needs medication she can't afford.

Dean Mercer looks like he has everything figured out. The expensive apartment. The watch. The successful life.

None of it is real.

When both of them accept a mysterious invitation promising enough money to erase every problem they have, neither expects to wake up wearing green tracksuits inside a facility filled with hundreds of desperate strangers.

And neither expects to see each other.

Three years after their relationship fell apart, Sadie and Dean are forced back into each other's lives under the worst possible circumstances.

The rules are simple.

Play the games.

Survive.

And don't expect to leave.

As childhood games turn deadly and the number of players begins to fall, Sadie and Dean form an unlikely group with Nessa and Ethan, four strangers trying desperately not to become nothing more than numbers on a screen.

But surviving the games might not be enough.

Because somewhere beneath the colorful rooms, masked guards, and promises of prize money, Sadie begins to realize something far more dangerous.

There may be another way out.

And if they're going to find it, they'll have to survive long enough to try.

A story about survival, second chances, friendship, love, and what people are willing to risk when they finally have something worth coming back for.
