I've really been into the YA dystopian genre lately but they are getting repetitive. Any suggestions?

The Gone Series!!! It doesn’t have a super focus on a romance. Though there are elements of it. Even has a bit of LGBT in the mix. Plus it’s soooo good and underrated

Hibbe

May be a stupid question? but who is the writer of the Gone series? I want to look it up?

Mariyah

Michael Grant ???

I only read a couple of Gone but they were so good!

RaRa

Dena

April

Such a unique story and Thunderhead just killed me

Dena

Same! I’m still not over that ending. Can’t wait for The Toll

I recently released my first book, After the Green Withered. It’s free on KU if you’d like to check it out. I must admit that I love dystopian fiction, true Hunger Games and The Giver fan here!

Thanks I’ll check it out. Congratulations on the release of your first novel.

Kristin

Have you read anything by Robison Wells? His Variant series is really good. Evernight Teen is having a 30% off sale right now. They have quite a few dystopian and SciFi novels.

Thanks everybody for all the great ideas. These all look like really good books. They should keep me busy for at least a week lol.

Razorland by Ann Aguirre it’s zombie dystopian

Darkness before Dawn by JA London Vampireesque dystopian

Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi they live in bunker type houses and ‘savages’ still live on the earth

Demon Ember by MJ Haag. It starts with natural disasters that’s cause this ‘apocalypse’ and the main guy is part of this race that doesn’t have women… it’s pretty funny when he figures out what boobs are ?

MistiQuestion author

I loved Under the Never Sky. I finished that series in about a week.

Tierney

Anthem by Ayn Rand. It’s a classic but it’s really good and super short

Aachal

ANYTHING BY MARIE LU!!!!!

Running Man by Stephen King. Still dystopian

Liza

This Mortal Coil by Emily Suvada. It is an insane dystopian and is a little messed up (okay maybe more than a little messed up).
It follows the general trope of a disease trying to destroy everyone and trying to find a cure but there is soo much more to it than that.
It was amazing. Absolute favourite from last month. I CANT WAIT for the sequel which should be out soon I believe.

Julie

Magic Bites was very good. I normally don’t like dystopian but the series interested me.

MistiQuestion author

I downloaded this one this morning. Cant wait to read it.

Julie

Misti it’s really good! Tell me what you think when you read it!

Danielle

I just started this and it’s really good so far!
