If you read my blog then you probably know how big of a fan I am of dystopian by now. I just love the worlds that have been ravaged by some unknown problem and learning about the society that has to put itself back together again. It's like getting a whole new world without all the confusion (for me, at least) of high fantasy.

A genetic experiment decimated humanity and now most technology is outlawed. Does that not sound like the start of a good dystopian? Plus, just look at that gorgeous cover.

Normally, natural disaster dystopians don't really interest me that much, but the fact that this is also a story about a group of teenagers being stuck inside a superstore really caught my interest. There's all sorts of things that could happen with teens in a place filled with nearly everything one could possibly imagine.

I'm fairly certain this book has something to do with Atlantis since it's the first in the series called The Atlanteans and how seriously awesome is that?! There's definitely not enough underwater books in print.

For some reason I get kind of a The Bachelor vibe off this book. I'm not entirely sure why that intrigues me since I don't watch the show, but it does. Plus, how can that gorgeous cover not draw you in?

This book seems pretty dark with it partial humans and mandatory pregnancy laws, but I definitely love my dystopians dark.

I love that this is a desolate world where people struggle to survive in the After, but there's still that elite few that get special treatment and this time that comes in the form of a dome. I'm a sucker for a main character who was going along just fine and then gets hit with some life-changing news and Pure has me covered there.

I have one word for you guys: ZOMBIES! And that's all you really need to know.

I think this is another zombie book, but it's also about people, a girl inn particular, that have been locked up underground for years. Now they're seeing the world for the first time. It sounds like it has the potential for great world-building.

This world sounds so strict and scary. I mean, it says soldiers have replaced the police. That's almost scarier than having no rules at all.
I too am excited for Partials and Article 5 ;)
