Summary
"Elara Rosewood. Come on up, honey. Don't be shy."
Elara had hated the annual tradition of the hunger games since she knew how to say the words. It was violent, twisted and a fucking outrage. Her grandfather loved it though. He'd sit her down beside him and have her watch it, even when she told him she was scared and it made her tummy feel bad. "You'll grow to love it," He always told her. Fat chance.
When she's reaped at the age of 16 her life crumbles around her. This was not what she wanted when she ran from the capitol. Then again, she wouldn't expect anything different for President Coriolanus. Or as she used to call him: Gramps.

But Johanna learns that even if you play the game flawlessly, even if you win, in the Capitol there is no prize worthy of the price you pay to play.

Summary
What if the girl on fire had lived another life before the Hunger Games?
A modern fan dies unexpectedly and wakes as Katniss Everdeen — a baby in the Seam, in a year and a world not her own. With memories of the future haunting her consciousness, she grows up under the coal-dusted skies of District 12, learning the rhythms, secrets, and dangers of a place she knows too well.
By the time she is sixteen, Katniss has become more than a girl struggling to survive — she is a strategist, a performer, a manipulator, and a protector of all she holds dear. Friends are chosen with care, loyalties are woven in shadows, and every smile is calculated.
As the Reaping approaches, she prepares not just to save her sister but to survive — and to make a mark on Panem in ways that no one, not even Snow, could have imagined.
In this retelling of the Hunger Games, the girl on fire is reborn, and the flame she carries burns brighter — and colder — than ever before.

Summary
In a district where brains beats brawn every time, it's unfortunate that the district's next female tribute has neither.
District 3 was known for its technology, its brain power. Tori Watts was known for her zombie-like outlook. A brick wall, peers called her.
She felt no particular emotion. Numb to it all - it was the only way to survive. But would the same strategy work in the games?
Welcome to the 72nd Hunger Games.

Summary
The Capitol calls her a Victor of the 69th Hunger Games, though the word sits in her mouth like ash. Merrit Prior remembers dying — the cold, the quiet, the sense of slipping away — and then the terrible hands that pulled her back.
Finnick Odair remembers it too. He carries her survival like a secret, visits her in the quiet hours when the world softens and the sea breathes against the shore. What begins as duty frays into something gentler, something dangerous, an intimacy threaded through late night silences, salt heavy air, and the soft, impossible hope of being understood.
As the Quarter Quell rises on the horizon, their lives tangle in ways neither of them can unmake. The Capitol watches. The district whispers. And somewhere between healing and hunger, they find themselves drawn to each other with the inevitability of the tide.

Summary
❝I save others to forget I don't know how to save myself.❞
When one has no prospect of life, what shall they do? When their death is guaranteed for daring to be born in a district, and grow up with the title of Victor's child, what's the next step?
Should they accept it? Or fight it?
Is there a third choice?
Dove Ogilvy, the youngest daughter of District Four's controversial victor, found out the existence of the third to be real. The problem, however, was that it could only be given to the future-to-be tribute by a specific person, not decided by the tribute themselves.
It was a deal.
A life for a life.

But the trains are moving again, and when her name is called, the past begins to catch up— slow, relentless, and louder than any engine.

Summary
Seventeen-year-old Calliope Lorde never believed the odds were in her favor. In the arena, survival meant becoming something else entirely — a siren with a voice that could lure and a beauty that could deceive. She wins the 68th Hunger Games, but victory comes with a cruel truth; some fates are worse than death.
Callie still hears the screams. Still sees the blood beneath her nails. Haunted by the faces of the lives she’s taken, and bound to a Capitol that refuses to let her go. Behind her seductive smile and confident attitude is a girl who lives a waking nightmare, sold to Capitol elites at President Snow’s command and silenced by the very crowd that cheers her name.
When survival depends on silence, love becomes a rebellion, every stolen kiss is a risk they cannot afford. Because in Snow’s world, the only thing more dangerous than defiance is hope.
