I was wondering when people in the YA world were gonna start copying that post-apocalyptic dystopia setting of the Hunger Games and move away from the paranormal romance werewolves and vampires style and now they are. i remember when i finished reading the first Hunger Games book years ago and i was wondering where are the other YA style books like this one. looks like they're starting to trickle out.

I just got done with the Shadow and Bone series. Very dope loved the villain (The Darkling) which usually sucks in these type of books.

Also finished the Daughter of Smoke and Bone series. It was decent not enough fighting / action for my taste.

I started this series called Shatter Me and the romance was so much in it I damn near dropped it but towards the end of the book they hit this X-Men style group and I'm interested enough to keep listening.
