Tessa Clare | 4 comments I, too, was looking for dystopian recommendations to help me procrastinate on my writing deadline give me something to read, and your list is perfect!

One more you can add to the list is The Divinity Bureau. Disclaimer that I wrote it, but it sounds like it'd be up your alley. I'd also recommend the Under the Never Sky series (I didn't write the latter, but I greatly enjoyed it).

Kaelyn (kaelyn_h) | 159 comments Matched Series by Ally Condie is also good, if you enjoy romance. It's about a girl who lives in a dystopian, all-controlling society, who learns to break free with the help of a guy. It's beautifully written, and a little like Divergent, which I noticed you liked.

Matched (Matched, #1) by Ally Condie

R.S. Merritt | 149 comments Principles of Magic (Son of the Keeper #1) by R.S. Merritt This one is the first in a series I'm working on where a boy finds out he is the heir to a kingdom where magic exists. Unfortunately the earth is probably fixing to be destroyed by the same forces that drove his people off their planet and to the earth to begin with. Just released it so will probably do a free giveaway day here later on this week. Cheers! Let me know how you like it if you do get a chance to check it out.

FloorM The Program (The Program, #1) by Suzanne Young

I really like this series, haven't read all of the books though. It is set in a world where suicide has become an epidemic.

Cadence Cavanaugh (cadencecavanaugh) | 24 comments You could check out my debut novel.

The Passing Cadence Cavanaugh

It's somewhat similiar to Divergent/Game of Thrones with multiple combining storylines.

If you're in the UK it's on sale for 1.99 right now for another day and a half I believe. :)

Watchr by AJ Eversley (free in KU if you use it)
Watcher (Watcher #1) by A.J. Eversley
