The Hunger Games meets Romeo and Juliet in a stunning debut about a forbidden romance between a young activist and a government employee working for a corrupt bureau that controls the population by deciding who lives and who dies.
Roman Irvine is a disgruntled IT Technician for the Divinity Bureau, a government agency that uses random selection to decide who lives and who dies. In a world where overpopulation has led to pollution, a crippled economy, and a world in crisis, he has accepted the bureauโs activities as a necessity. That is until he meets April McIntyre.
April has every reason to be suspicious of Roman. He works for the Divinity Bureau, which sent her father to an early grave. However, he is also sweet and loyal, and unbeknownst to her, he saved her life. As Roman and April fall deeper in love, the deeper they are thrust into the politics of deciding who lives and who dies. Someone wants April dead. And the bureauโs process of random selection may not be so random after all.
I give The Divinity Bureau by Tessa Clare 5 out 5 of Romantic Dystopian Stars! Wow, what a book! I haven’t read a dystopian novel in a while and after reading this story I will be sure to pick up more for sure. Even though this was a bit of a slow read in the beginning, I was captivated from Chapter One!๐ I fell in love with the characters and loved seeing April and Roman’s romance unfold.
I highly enjoyed how this story was told from a dual perspective and how the plot was nice and solid. The intensity, danger, betrayal and romance made this a YA masterpiece that I won’t soon forget!
This story was action packed and think it would make an excellent film!
I was up late turning pages and was just stunned at how quickly I devoured this novel. My only problem Ms. Clare is that I have to wait for more!

Would not be very surprised if this eventually gets turned into a movie series at some point. I love Dystopian futures/novels, so this one is definitely going on my list. Awesome post by an awesome lady ๐

I agree with Michel, it sounds like a film adaptation is on the cards. This is far from original in concept, but I was pleased to hear that you enjoyed it so much.
Best wishes, Pete. x

Awesome review Dani! I have to agree with Michel and Pete. This sounds like itโs made for a tv series. Sort of in the same vein as Freeformโs Shadowhunters which is based on Cassandra Clareโs Mortal Instruments books.
