Posession Review

416 pages

Vi knows the Rule: Girls don't walk with boys, and they never even think about kissing them. But no one makes Vi want to break the Rules more than Zenn...and since the Thinkers have chosen him as Vi's future match, how much trouble can one kiss cause? The Thinkers may have brainwashed the rest of the population, but Vi is determined to think for herself. But the Thinkers are unusually persuasive, and they're set on convincing Vi to become one of them...starting by brainwashing Zenn. Vi can't leave Zenn in the Thinkers' hands, but she's wary of joining the rebellion, especially since that means teaming up with Jag. Jag is egotistical, charismatic, and dangerous--everything Zenn's not. Vi can't quite trust Jag and can't quite resist him, but she also can't give up on Zenn. 


Review:
This book was pretty hard to really get into. I feel that Vi as a character needed to be more developed. I wish we had seen more of her story as to why she was known as a troublemaker in the first place. I think also the story was extremely fast paced and sometimes I wasn't quite sure what had happened. I was really confused about Vi's triangle relationship with Zenn and Jag. It seemed like her relationship with Jag moved quickly yet she still had feelings for Zenn. I did think that the connection between Zenn and Jag was interesting though. Vi seemed to have so much strength yet she barely used it to her advantage. This book just wasn't clear and it felt underdeveloped. However, it is an ok read. The ending made me curious enough to read the next one in the series when it comes out. I recommend this book as reading to do in your spare time when you have nothing else to read.
