Looking for a book/series about people with super abilities (ex. Teleportation, time manipulation, regeneration, etc.) in a modern or dystopian setting. Bonus if the characters are morally grey, and if the plot is survival/dark/brutal. I don’t mind YA novels as long as it’s not heavily focused on teen romance. Thank you!

The Vicious duology by V.E. Schwab is pretty much this. I’ts adult too, not YA.
*Threads That Bind* by Kika Hatzopoulou
Interesting and unusual super abilities (I could tell you more but it’s more fun to discover). Morally grey main character. The setting is sort of post-apocalyptic. It’s on the older side of YA, there is a romance subplot but it doesn’t take over (I am easily annoyed by that, too). First part of a planned series.
Red Rising by Pierce Brown. Not much super abilities as the ruling class are genetically and technologically enhanced.
There’s also The Reckoners series by Brandon Sanderson. The premise is some humans suddenly gain superpowers, but turns evil.
I also second Vicious by V. E. Schwab.
The Tarot Sequence by K.D. Edwards has the super abilities and some survival, maybe not so dystopian but it is a modern setting
Tyler Bardot and the Bane of the World by Z. Osborne
