Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases we are highly anticipating. This week’s pre-publication “can’t-wait to-read” selection is: Control by Lydia Kang
Summary (via 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.
Why am I eagerly awaiting on Control?
From the moment I saw Control I knew I wanted to read it. I’ve been on a sci-fi kick so the futuristic setting and the promise of genetic ‘mistakes’ makes me want this book badly.
Control by Lydia Kang will be available December 26th 2013 by Dial Books for Young Readers

Here’s my WoW. PS. We’re having a Fierce Reads Giveaway too (:
I’ve this one on my wishlist for a while, the cover it very cool.
I actually just got this one a month ago, from a blogger who didn’t want their copy. I was like, HECK YES I WILL TAKE IT! She’s super sweet. I still have to read this one, but it’s with me here in college! 😀
Check out my WoW post!
Not sure if the summary is for me, sounds a bit complicted 🙂 But ohh, I really like the cover. Pretty colors! Looks awesome 😀 Thank you for sharing. <3 Great pick. I hope you will love it 🙂
I’m really intrigued by the concept… genetic mistakes? Hope the romance doesn’t overpower that awesome sounding storyline. Great pick!
I think I might have read too many of these in recent months…this doesn’t even grab me. Hopefully I’ll read some reviews and be convinced otherwise. I like the cover, though. 😛
