Probably the closest thing to The Hunger Games out there, the first book in Roth's trilogy introduces a society divided into five factions, each based on a single value: honesty, bravery, selflessness, intelligence, and kindness.
Sixteen-year-old Tris comes from the selfless faction, but when she learns she doesn't really fit into any one category, and her inability to conform appears dangerous, she chooses to switch to the faction of the brave.

Like Katniss, Janie has spent most of her childhood learning to take care of herself. But without any siblings to love and protect, she's gotten used to keeping to herself as well.
Janie's desire is complicated by the fact that she gets close to people -- whether she wants to or not -- by getting sucked into their dreams.
Cassia is fine with following her society's rules and regulations -- ones that predict everything from her death date to who she's meant to be with. But when she becomes drawn to an unassigned guy, she begins to see her government is a little less perfect and a little more like the Capitol.
Unlike the immediately obvious problem with the future The Hunger Games presents, things in the world of Feed don't seem that bad.

For those more interested in The Hunger Game's love triangle than the bloodshed, The Selection introduces America, a girl who finds herself in a kind of reality show to win the heart of the prince. At first she's just bidding her time, but just as she realizes the prince isn't the superficial jerk she thought he was, her first love shows up. And there's still two books to go.
In this novel about a kind of Hogwarts for current juvenile delinquents aspiring to be future white collar criminals the teens are just as ruthless as the tributes in the game. But Flick isn't playing for his life or power like the other students, he's desperate for revenge.
If your Hunger Games draw is the endless supply of sibling emotions, Where Things Come Back provides plenty of protective older sibling worry and love. Plus hypothetical zombies and a possibly magical woodpecker.
