Goodreads asked Angela Brown:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Angela Brown I really enjoyed reading Suzanne Collins's The Hunger Games. But I couldn't help wondering what it would be like if, instead of fearing being chosen, what if it's what every citizen dreamed would happen to them? Then my main character flourished as the one citizen who dreaded the idea of being chosen, especially after what happened to her parents. Being a lover of paranormal and urban fantasy, other inspirations - like True Blood - hopped on board. The rest grew from there.
