Possession by Elana Johnson
First off, you would like this book if you've read The Hunger Games Series, Divergent, or any other Dystopian Society novel. I will say it wasn't as good as Hunger Games BUT Possession took a totally different approach. So yes they're in the same realm of eachother but they're totally different at the same time. The book is set in a dystopian society to where there are different regions. There are also what are called "Goodies" and "Baddies". Then there's the Association full of Thinkers and they are the ones that control society or brainwash them. The story can get pretty complex at times so you really need to pay attention. I'm finding it hard to explain actually! The story is mainly centered around Violet, or Vi. She is trying to find herself so to speak. This society that she is in is full of advanced technology and people that have "special powers". She turns out to be one of those people because she has a sensitivity to tech which means she can control anything pretty much. She can also will anyone or anything to do whatever she wants them to do through thinking it. This is why the association wants her, so she can control what the people do and think, a.k.a. brainwash them! This story turns out to be a wild ride of who are the good guys, who are the bad guys, do i trust him or him?, it's crazy! Of course there ends up being a love triangle between Vi, Jag, and Zenn. What good book doesn't include a love triangle right? But it was a very good story, very different, something totally new. I loved Vi and Jag. Vi is a little firecracker anyways and I think she's hilarious. I'd love to be friends with her! But her and Jag together make the best couple EVER! They feed off of eachother and their banter in the book is great. It had me smiling and laughing sometimes. They always seem to make such a dire situation to seem like nothing at all. But I really enjoyed it and I know you will to! I REALLY hope she comes out with a second one cause it leaves you asking questions without flat out saying there will be a continuation of the story. PLEASE MAKE ANOTHER ONE!!!! Happy Reading everyone=)
