Typically I don't buy a book until I've read it and like it. Weird? I know, why spend money on something you have already read right? But here is my thing I love my books (hence my entire blog dedicated to books) I have a collection of them and I quickly run out of space therefore I want books that I have read and like enough that I may one day go back and read it. I can't tell you how many books I have and how much money I have spent on books that the premise looked good, the reviews were great but for me it fell flat and I haven't finished the book/series and now here I am stuck with a book/series that I will not read again. So anyway the point of that story is that typically I only own the book after I have read it and deemed it good enough to have a spot on one of my shelves. But in this case I purchased Possession only based on the cover and the little paragraph blurb on Amazon. I know, I know I work for Barnes and Noble yet I use Amazon. Let me tell you this thought Amazon is easier to navigate and the don't empty your cart after a day or two, making it easier for me to use that as my TBR (to be read) list. So anyway I get this book, but before I do I read the reviews of people who have for whatever reason gotten their book early, and most of them aren't good. The biggest complaint, it's too confusing. So now I am starting to worry, I mean I bought this book hoping it would be good, well let me tell you I was right, this book was worth every penny. Yes the bok was confusing and yes you wil probably have to read it twice or reread parts of it before you get it all and yes the book will make you think, and it will leave you wanting more but those are the best kinds of books. So now one to plot summary
Once again I am reading dystopia, buy hey its what's in now. So this one is set in a Tech future remember how I said too much tech was bad in my review of Awaken (whihc by the way has a sequel coming out next year probably and is set to be titled, The Middle Ground) Well the world of Possession uses their tech in a different way. Anyway we meet the main character Violet or Vi for short and she is set to be matched with her friend Zenn. Now this part of the summary had me thinking it would be like the book Matched, but boy could I be more wrong. So anyway Vi has broken so many rules in her society and they are stupid little rules that the next time she breaks one she is taken to jail where we meet Jag. Jag is so similar to Vi, he too is a rule breaker, but he is from the Badlands. Together the two escape jail and head out to the Badlands in order to escape the Goodies ( I know stupid names but it helps you figure out who is on what side (... kinda.. sorta...). So they make it to the Badlands and of course Vi and Jog get closer and along the way they discover that not everything is what it seems and what they think it is is not how it is which makes everything so confusing (I told you you would have to read it twice) And the end, oh the end totally leaves you wanting more, but is there a sequel, nope there is a companion novel set in the same world different characters though and that is set to drop next summer. So no question today because you will need all your brain power just to figure out what the heck is going on in this book and who is the good and who is the bad and exactly what is happening in this world. Just go read it ...twice you won't regret it.
