"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week, I'm featuring:
Control by Lydia Kang
Book One of the Control series
Publisher: Dial Books for Young Readers
Publication Date: December 26, 2013
Summary (from Goodreads):
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.
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.
I've been waiting for this one for a while! I love science fiction :)

ReplyDeleteI agree! I love science fiction, and I love it when the ideas vary. Thank you!
DeleteYAY! I think that's awesome you're getting it early! I had requested this on EW but got declined sadly. But it does look really good! Happy reading when you get it girl!
ReplyDeleteJessica@Lovin' Los Libros
I never ever request from Penguin on EW and NG anymore - they've never approved me in the past. Thank you so much, Jessica!
DeleteOooohhhhhh. I've heard about this one. I know the ARCs went out recently, and everyone who has gotten one has flipped out. It looks interesting, not sure it's completely my thing, but it definitely sounds cool!
ReplyDeleteYUP! I didn't request one, but a friend who regularly receives unsolicited ARCs from Penguin doesn't want control. So, she was kind enough to pass it along to me! I love her so much! I hope that if you do read it sometime, you enjoy it, Meredith!
DeleteOhh, like the cover :D Hope you'll love it. <3 And YAY for getting it early :D
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting on my blog last week. <3
Love, Carina @ Carina's Books
Definitely a great cover! And right? I'm super excited! Thank YOU, Carina!
DeleteOMG! Yes, Control! I recently interviewed the author for a blog event. I loved the idea of Control, given that Im a scifi enthusiast! :)
ReplyDeleteI remember when you did! And I hope you read it soon!
