For fans of Uglies comes a spiraling, intense sci fi thriller. "Control blew me away. The twists and turns and suspense made for a thrilling ride. Zel is as authentic a character as I've read in a very long time. Highly recommended" - James Dashner, New York Times bestselling author of The Maze Runner Set in 2150 -- in a world of automatic cars, nightclubs with auditory ecstasy drugs, and guys with four arms -- this is about the human genetic "mistakes" that society wants to forget, and the way that outcasts can turn out to be heroes. When their overprotective father is killed in a terrible accident, Zel and her younger sister, Dylia, are lost in grief. But it's not until strangers appear, using bizarre sensory weapons, that the life they had is truly eviscerated. Zel ends up in a safe house for teens that aren't like any she's ever seen -- teens who, by law, shouldn't even exist. One of them -- an angry tattooed boy haunted by tragedy -- can help Zel reunite with her sister. But only if she is willing to lose him.

That was a really intriguing start. I enjoyed Zelia‘a evolution, & the story was fast-paced. It was also, unfortunately, a bit predictable — especially the romance. But, I‘m a sucker for love/hate relationships, so I didn‘t mind that so much. Mostly, I wish there was a little more diversity in a story that highlights themes of accepting differences, & I could have done without the attempts at poetry. An exciting, if clunky, start. ★★★☆☆.
