Author: Lauren Roberts Genre: YA Romantic fantasy  Traits: Dystopian fiction, forbidden romance  Language: English  Click here to be redirected to BUY  ️ Powerless by Lauren Roberts is a solid 4-star read for me. It's a young adult, intense and character driven story that blends action, suspense and romance. It's set in a world between "Ordinaries" (people without abilities) and "Elites" (people with powers/abilities).

However, my most favorite part and true star of the book for me is "Kai" (King's son and the Future Enforcer of Ilya) who earned a glowing 5-star rating. He’s not only complex but also impo...

Struggling to keep her business, she is sure that all hope is lost but when Madeline a wealthy woman offers her the case of Mia a missing girl from the orphanage.

Language: English  Click here to be redirected to BUY  Alternate history, uchronies, and indirect criticism of faith and ideology combined into one of the most successful thriller series of all time. This book although fiction but most of the facts used to make it a historical fiction were already on the table but still many don't want to face said facts that is why it may be a controversial book.It´s the mix of different topics that interest many people stirred together that make it entertaining for the ones who like art or thrillers, for atheists and religious people, for the ones interested in plot or characterization.It doesn´t just relativizes general history, but religious and political history in a way that makes it a prime example of the fact that history and holy texts are written by the winners.
