Rebecca (rebeccasg) | 3831 comments Hi all!

I'm looking for a recommendation for a new series. I'm looking for another Dystopian series that people love. I don't mind romance, as long as it's not the ONLY thing going on.

Some of the series I've already read and LOVED were:
Hunger Games
The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1) by Suzanne Collins Catching Fire (The Hunger Games, #2) by Suzanne Collins Mockingjay (The Hunger Games, #3) by Suzanne Collins

Divergent
Divergent (Divergent, #1) by Veronica Roth Insurgent (Divergent, #2) by Veronica Roth Allegiant (Divergent, #3) by Veronica Roth

Matched
Matched (Matched, #1) by Ally Condie Crossed (Matched, #2) by Ally Condie Reached (Matched, #3) by Ally Condie

Cinder
Cinder (The Lunar Chronicles, #1) by Marissa Meyer Scarlet (The Lunar Chronicles, #2) by Marissa Meyer Cress (The Lunar Chronicles, #3) by Marissa Meyer Fairest (The Lunar Chronicles, #3.5) by Marissa Meyer

Maze Runner
The Maze Runner (Maze Runner, #1) by James Dashner The Scorch Trials (Maze Runner, #2) by James Dashner The Death Cure (Maze Runner, #3) by James Dashner

I'd be grateful for any recommendations! Thanks!!

Sonia (darktalynn) | 11599 comments If you don't mind vampires and something like it, the blood of eden series is quite good:

The Immortal Rules (Blood of Eden, #1) by Julie Kagawa The Eternity Cure (Blood of Eden, #2) by Julie Kagawa The Forever Song (Blood of Eden, #3) by Julie Kagawa

My sister really enjoyed

The Giver (The Giver, #1) by Lois Lowry

Rebecca (rebeccasg) | 3831 comments Has anyone read the Delirium (Delirium, #1) by Lauren Oliver series? I read the first book, but I don't think I was in the right mood to read it because I didn't enjoy it that much, but I think the series may have potential. I was wondering if anyone had read it and could tell me if it's worth continuing the series.
