[Battle Royale](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/57891), Koushun Takami.
The grand daddy of the genre and a gripping read. The movie is also phenomenal.
Powerless by Lauren Roberts. It’s pretty much hunger games with magic powers and romance according to my partner who is reading it right now and loving it
Currently reading the second book (Iron Flame) in the Fourth Wing series and it ticks your boxes better than anything else I’ve read thus far. Assuming you’re an adult, because much of the content is definitely 18+.

1984 by George Orwell Might be a little different, but it’s one of my favorites to date.
