Failed State - Cassandra Featherstone

. .

Résumé :
Welcome to my so-called life-I live in a post-virus nightmare where supernaturals like me get blamed for the pandemic then locked up by the delightful Federated Human States of America. Stripped of our rights? Check. Shoved into reeducation camps? Double check. My partners in crime-Thaddeus and Huck -attend the mandated university-level education at F.E.A.R. Academy with me. It's only our second week of classes, but when the humans announce fresh 'shipments' of supernaturals, I know something is wrong. What's a dystopian hellhole without more prisoners, amirite? Surprise, surprise-this is part of the FHSA's latest genius plan: the first annual Supernatural Unified Challenge of Endurance. Our prize? A ticket to a special community for loyal followers. With the stakes sky-high and my patience running thin, I've got to juggle my chaotic feelings about my friends and the three sexy, yet dangerous, new guys they assigned us. We have to work together to survive the first challenge, but the tempers are hot and I'm about to overload. What's it say about me that I don't know if I'm going to choose freedom over odd thumping of my heart when they're around? *** Failed State is book one in the series F.E.A.R. Academy. This is book one in the five book series in the Fury of the Forsaken universe. Fans of The Hunger Games, Their Champion, and Divergent will enjoy this adult dystopian romance series.
