Waiting On Wednesday: Control by Lydia Kang


 

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.


Hey Book Nerds! ^.^ I hope you're all doing well. I'm sorry for the lateness of this post, but this afternoon I started listening to the Catching Fire audio book whilst doing a jigsaw puzzle and got completely immersed and distracted by it. ^^; I've been trying to prevent myself from buying more books lately because my TBR pile is HUGE (like, over 30 psychical books and even more eBooks), but only this morning, did I yet again, actually buy two more online! Bad Tiffa... >.> Oh well, I’ll try to refrain from buying any more. :)


 



Control

Title: Control.
Series: Control, #1.
Author: Lydia Kang.

Genres: Dystopia, Sci-Fi, Young Adult.

After the violent death of her father, 17 year-old Zelia loses her younger sister, Dylia, during an abduction at a foster care agency. It turns out her sister Dylia isn’t just pretty and sweet – she’s illegal. In the year 2150, DNA must be pure by law, and anyone with enhanced genes face death.

Zelia’s only allies are the freak-show inhabitants of her new, underground foster home. Along with the unexpected love of a very strange boy, she will need her flaws and their illicit traits to save the only family she has left.

 
 


Thoughts


I'm so excited for this book - it's such a shame to have to wait until December for its release! :3 I love dystopian novels and this looks like an incredible book with an awesome storyline. :D As for the cover, it’s simple - but I really like it. It's so awesome and kind of creepy – which just happens to be right up my alley. :P Have any of you heard of it before? Let me know what you think of the synopsis!
