The Young Elites by Marie Lu
3.0

Adelina Amouteru is a survivor of the blood fever that raged across the land years ago. It took her mother and left her marked. Living in a world where the marked are seen as a scourge, she has to escape a cruel father, avoid the Inquisition that would have all marked survivors killed, and learn to live in the world of the Young Elites, a group of marked survivors who have developed powerful abilities and struck fear into the hearts of the people.

This was an interesting book. I love the concepts and even the writing behind it, but the main character, Adelina, I had a hard time liking. I understand her character is harsh and sharp, but I still need something to cling to so I can follow this character's story.
