Powerless completely swept me away. From the first page, Lauren Roberts crafted a world that felt both dangerous and exhilarating, filled with high stakes, heart-stopping tension, and characters I couldn’t get enough of.

Paedyn is the kind of heroine I adore—fiercely determined, clever, and constantly toeing the line between survival and discovery. Watching her navigate the cutthroat trials as a supposedly “Powerless” girl in a world dominated by the elite was gripping. And don’t even get me started on Kai. The tension, the banter, the slow unraveling of trust and attraction—perfection.

The pacing was relentless in the best way, making it impossible to put the book down. The twists? Some I saw coming, others left me absolutely reeling. And that ending? I started powerful and Reckless immediately.

If you love high-stakes competitions, electric romance, and a protagonist who refuses to break, this book is for you. I’m obsessed.
