Powerless

Powerless by Lauren Roberts

in a post-apocalyptic world, some people have "special powers". These people with the powers have taken power and relegated the "ordinaries" to a lower class. There are even people that go out and try to kill off any ordinary people. The society has a hunger-games style competition where people with special powers compete and kill each other, with some voted on by the general public. Into this situation, a boy meets a girl. The girl is an ordinary who fakes a predictive power (she is just very observant and can guess things about people when seeing them.) The boy is the son of the king. He works as the "enforcer", killing off ordinaries, though he has a soft spot for kids. They fall for each other, yet they also compete with each other. At the end, we learn that each has killed the other's father. There is not much original in this book, but the story telling is a bit better than similar books.
