YA
Social change looms as a mysterious disease sweeps the biologically superior Prior population (Feuds). Prior heroine Davis, now ill, is sent to a research facility, believing her Imperfect boyfriend Cole to be dead. Cole, alive but in hiding, plots her rescue. Despite some facile resolutions and second-volume meandering, new love triangles and continued world-building should sustain interest among series fans.

YA
Taking an underclass uprising as its starting point, this debut novel tackles the complex social and political aftermath from the intersecting perspectives of Tommy, son of an establishment leader, and Tamsin, daughter of one of the "August 5" rebels. As change progresses, both rise to leadership roles. A rushed climax detracts only slightly from thoughtful, realistic world-building and character development.
