Possession Review

4/5☆☆☆☆

Once again we find ourselves in a controlled society where not everything is as it appears.

We have goodies who aren't really good,

Baddies who really aren't that bad,

Thinkers who can get into or control people's mind,

Creepy robots, and

A rebellion on the rise.

Walking with a boy 

Out past curfew

Wearing contraband

Not plugging in to her transmission at night

and Cutting and dying her hair

Yeah Vi has always been a rule breaker

A free thinker

You'd think that would be a good thing right?
(Being a free thinker I mean, not a rule breaker.)

Not in the City of Water.

Violet has gotten up to seven offenses.

It's off to prison for Vi after being spotted past curfew with a boy-
 even if he is her match or that Zenn is as good as they come. 

While in prison she meets Jag. 

A baddie.
 Probably the worse kind with his tanned skin and jet black hair.
You can tell, just by looking at him that he's a rule breaker.

At first Violet could not stand Jag
but soon they learn to depend on one another
and develop a close bond. 

They have to stay together to survive

But can she really trust a baddie?  

With all the lies, half truths, spies and betrayal
it's a wonder she can trust her self.

I loved this story
but damn 

Goodies

Badies

Thinkers

Come on! There could have at least been a little more creativity with the names here.

Oh well what's done is done.

The main reason why I love this book is because
Violent is a very strong  free thinking individual.
She refuses to be controlled and put into a category.

She's presented with many choices:

duty or death

Zenn or Jag

Left or right 

control or don't control

alone or together

But it seems to me that Violet is always fighting for a third option
 because she understands that not everything is either good or bad.
Somethings just don't fit in either category.

I also love how Jag isn't one of those guys who hides behind a mask - at least when it comes to Vi.
 The fact that he cries in front of her or let's her see when he's vulnerable has got to be the sweetest thing ever. Even if he is supposed to be this big bad ...Badie?
