Good dystopian books for 15 year olds

Golden Shears has been giving me grief but Im getting closer to the end however Im really excited about my next three projects, which are all dystopians.

Taste: kind of Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Hunger Games
Selfie: an apocalyptic thriller where an smart phone app can alter our appearance [and melt flesh off bones]
Prescient: a time travel, post apocalyptic adventure with zombies [part one is out already but I need to finish it].

Those will all be series, and I actually have THREE MORE dystopian series mapped out for later. I also want to write some more mainstream vampire/werewolf stuff but I think all my stories will have world-ending consequences, so maybe thats why this genre appeals to me most [plus, revolution!].

Anyway, in the meantime, I made a list of 14 other dystopian novels from friends of mine a bunch of them are on sale for 99cents today, so check them out!

Exciting! Captivating! Couldnt put it down!
