Divergent (Book 1 of Trilogy) by Veronica Roth
In a future society that takes place in Chicago (reference of the sears tower is made). Societies are divided into five factions that appears to live in peace for many years, each contributing to a different sector of society
The first faction Abnegation fulfilled the need for selfless leaders in government, the people are known to be selfless and humble; Second , Candor has provided trustworthy and sound leaders in law, they are known for telling the truth and being honest; Erudite has supplied intelligent teachers and researchers, they thrive on having knowledge; Amity has given understanding counselors and caretakers and are known for their outstretched kindness; Last, but definitely not least there is Dauntless, which provides protection from threats both within and without, they are known to be brave.
The protagonist is Beatrice, who is Abnegation, at sixteen she has reached the age where society demands you pick a faction for the rest of your life. Growing up she’s never quite fit in as Abnegation, she feels she’s not selfless enough and craves for more. All sixteen year old have to take an aptitude test that although is not a rule but simply a test to help one figure out exactly where they belong. That’s where it all goes wrong. This is a story about a girl who on her way to adulthood discovers that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side of the fence.
She’s thrown into a world where survival becomes her life. She meets friends along her journey and manages to make some enemies too and when she falls in love she will discover she may be more Abnegation then she thought. The journey she takes is gritty, scary, heartbreaking and full of self-discovery. If you want to read a book about butterflies and rainbows and unicorns, well this book is not for you. Beatrice is right up there with Katniss from the HG. She’s a tough cookie.

The Dark and Hollow Places by Carrie Ryan
This is the third and concluding installment in this dystopian series. All the character from the previous books come full circle. Frustrating at times because I took up issue with one of the characters, you'll understand when you read it, trust me! Overall I'm so glad that this series has manifested itself to be pretty amazing. We follow Gabry and Catcher to the city with the purpose of finding Gabry's twin sister Annah whom Elias abandoned (yeah, I said it!). I've mentioned before in my reviews that I hate giving too much away, so I won't!
Carrie Ryan truly captured the essence, to me, of what a good book is made up of: action, suspense and romance. The journey of these two sisters is gripping and tugs at your heart. Throughout the book you have no idea what's going to happen next. Truly a roller coaster of a ride, you will not want to put this book down. Out of the three books my favorite was.... ALL of them!! Equally good and exciting. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Share with us your thoughts on this book, blog, or whatever your little heart desires!! Happy reading!!
