When a crash kills their father and leaves them orphaned, Zel knows she needs to protect her sister, Dyl. But before Zel has a plan, Dyl is taken by strangers using bizarre sensory weapons, and Zel finds herself in a safe house for teens who aren’t like any she’s ever seen before—teens who shouldn't even exist. Using broken-down technology, her new friends’ peculiar gifts, and her own grit, Zel must find a way to get her sister back from the kidnappers who think a powerful secret is encoded in Dyl’s DNA.Why I'm Wishing...
A spiraling, intense, romantic story 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.
“Control blew me away.”—James Dashner, New York Times bestselling author of The Maze Runner trilogy
I really curious to see what this is about because I only just recently ran across it. And the fact that it's blurb by James Dashner makes me want to give it a go!
Never heard of this one! Hope you love it!

This one does sound exciting. I love futuristic sci-fi and DNA and genetic manipulation and all that good stuff! Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteSome Like It Paranormal
if a favorite author of mind blurbs a book by a new-to-me author, i'm more inclined to pick it up too. i've seen control around and while it's premise does not really appeal to me, i think how the neon cover sort of glows is really cool! cover buy maybe?
