Powerless

Our rating

Spice 0/5 Darkness 2/5

Spice: none. Darkness: some dark moments.

Ordinary humans are hunted in a kingdom of the gifted, and Paedyn fakes her way into a deadly royal competition. YA, clean, very addictive.

Is Powerless spicy?

No. Powerless has no sex on the page. If there's romance it stays at kissing or happens off-page, so it's a safe pick if you want zero spice.
