If you liked Twilight you might enjoy …
                The Hunger Games
                by Suzanne Collins

                In the ruins of a place once known as North
                America lies the nation of Panem, a shining
                Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts.
                The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the other
                districts in line by forcing them to participate in
                the annual Hunger Games, a fight-to-the-death on
                live TV. One boy and one girl between the ages
                of twelve and sixteen are selected by lottery to
                play. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen regards it
                as a death sentence when she is forced to
                represent her impoverished district in the Games.
                But Katniss has been close to dead before—and
                survival, for her, is second nature. Without really
                meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she
                is to win, she will have to start making choices
                that weigh survival against humanity and life
                against love.
