❝ If you can afford immortality and you choose to opt for it, it comes at a cost: you will be put on this list. And if your name is selected, you will die by lethal injection. Fortunately, with millions of people on the list, your odds of being selected are low–at least, until fate catches up with you.❞

Thank you to the author for providing me with a copy of this book!

The Divinity Bureau was perfect for me because it was equal parts romance and sci-fi. The world pulled me in right away because of the possibility of immortality and the lottery the essentially determined if you lived or died. It posed an interesting possibility of the future with all the problems it could have: overpopulation, food shortages, economic troubles, pollution–I loved how well thought out the setting was for the story. It was an interesting concept that I could really get behind.

But, besides the world, I also fell in love with the characters. Roman was an IT tech working for the Divinity Bureau who discovers what he believes is a mistake in the system. Caught between losing his job–that he needs desperately–and saving a young girl, he sets out to meet her and see if she’s worth saving. It’s that was choice that puts him and April on a dangerous path.

Roman was the kind of person who liked to play things safe. He didn’t go around looking for trouble and preferred to play along. He was also very kind, respectful, and kind of shy at times. It made him adorable, to be honest, and I loved him for it ❤

It was a little different with April. She was strong-willed, outspoken, and outgoing. She was the type of person to stand up for others and who tried to make a difference. She was ruled more by emotion and lived in the moment.

❝ I stare back at her, unsure of what to say next. I trust her in most things. I trust her words and that she’d never lie to me. I trust that she’d never do anything to hurt me. I trust with my heart. But April is too selfless to be trusted with her own life.❞

With Roman and April being near opposites, it was interesting to see them come together. I enjoyed the way things developed between them because they rubbed off on one another at times. I liked those moments when Roman would take a page from April and speak his mind, act boldly. Or those moments when April would try to be more like Roman and think things through. I think they worked well together because they made smarter choices that way.

As for the plot, I was hooked. As I said, I loved the story and the characters so I was invested in seeing them make it through to the end. I wanted to see them survive the mess they’d been pulled into but I liked that the story didn’t jump into the craziness right away and that we could see the romance aspect play through as the plot came together.

The ending was something I could accept. It didn’t all fall together the way that Roman and April (and I) had hoped, but I liked the hint of the storm coming with April saying that it wasn’t over yet. It made me really eager for a sequel. I’d love to see how the battle against the Divinity Bureau continues!

Overall, I think this was a really solid good book that’s bound to keep you hooked from beginning to end. Highly recommend it!

Great book! I enjoyed the dual perspectives April and Roman provided, as well as how the Divinity Bureau itself wasn't pure evil, but a necessary one. I enjoyed the story itself and there were a number of unexpected plot twists. I look forward to the sequel to see how things turn out for the main characters!
This has to be my new all time favorite book, I could not put it down! I can not wait to read more from this author, I would recommend this book to anyone looking for an amazing read!!
I like this futuristic take, and enjoyed imagining a take on the USA if it went through a phase of limited or even lack of resources, plus overpopulation, extremely high living expenses and wralthy to poor disparity. I read this on my commute to work. Highly recommended
If you enjoy dystopian books, you’ll love this one! The way it’s written pulled me immediately, as I followed the perspective of two different characters. Roman, the male, who works for the The Divinity Bureau, which is the exact governmental agency that April despises. Placed in a futuristic setting where most don’t grow old, it made for a fun and refreshing read. Don’t pass this one up. It reminds me of a cross between I, Robot and the Uglies series. Excellent book! I love dystopians!
I loved the concept of the story. Ever wondered what our future holds? Though I would hate to go through a purge like in this book, it was almost realistic.
April was so brave through this whole ordeal and so young. Roman, I wanted to tell him to grow a pair at sometimes as I read on. I loved the ending and if this author was to write a second book, which looks as if she might, then I'd want to dive into it! I would love to know what happened with April's sister.
I always enjoy a good dystopian novel, but this one went way beyond my expectations! Once I started reading, I couldn't stop. Not only is the premise intriguing, (the world found a way to prevent death, but now they have leaders who select people to die to solve an overpopulation crisis), the characters are so emotionally profound, you can't help but love them. Roman is the sweetest, most lovable male protagonist. You find yourself cheering him on, mumbling under your breath trying to give him the confidence he needs to ask April out. April, on the other hand, is the strong-willed female protagonist that drives the story.

All it took was Roman finding her name on a list and a visit to the coffee shop she works at to throw these two into a well-built world of political intrigue and a heap of trouble. To keep April alive, Roman thwarts everything he believes in but April is too strong to stand in the background. She want's to fight back. This book is full of romance and energy. I highly recommend it!
I stepped a little outside of my romance box with this young adult, dystopian romance, and I have to say that I was absolutely blown away by a riveting tale that I couldn't put down. Roman and April's forbidden romance starts with a name on a list and a bit of curiosity. As the pair get to know each other, the larger story of corruption and betrayal unfolds for a thoroughly engrossing read. With wonderful characters and witty dialogue, this debut novel is a fast-paced, entertaining read that is packed full of romance, intrigue, suspense, and at times, even a bit chilling. While the conclusion isn't a drive you crazy cliffy, it is open-ended, and I for one will be anxiously awaiting what's next for Roman and April.
