Powerless by Lauren Roberts
5.0
medium-paced
Loveable characters: Yes


I was told I need to read this and the answer is totally YES!!! This had total Hunger Games vibes and where contestants are chosen to participate in the trials. There are 2 types of people, people with power, The Elites and without, The Ordinary. The people without are considered inferior. 

Paedyn is an ordinary hiding in plain sight pretending to be an Elite. She ends up in the games and meets the Kai, who is a prince. The pining they have for each other is so good. 

Paedyn's friendship with Adena was so strong and I love how they helped each other so much with their strengths. 

The story leaves your jaw drop at the end. 


The narration of Chase Brown and Cecily Bednar Schmidt kept me hooked from the first chapter.
