I love this book and if you are anti-romance this is one of the more recent series that is not too mushy. Once you pick this book up your hooked!

Could you survive on your own, in the wild, with everyone out to make sure you don't live to see the morning?
In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she is forced to represent her district in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before - and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.
New York Times bestselling author Suzanne Collins delivers equal parts suspense and philosophy, adventure and romance, in this searing novel set in a future with unsettling parallels to our present.

I absolutely LOVE these books! Lots of action, adventure, and a little bit of romance sprinkled in. So many twists, turns, and unexpected things in this book! It captures your attention from the start and you cannot put it down!
I read the hunger games and it was amazing. The book is about two young teenagers who get put in an arena to fight to the death while faking that they are in love. Will they live? Read it to find out!!!!
