4-Star Review:

Have you ever just had to read a book because the cover and title grabbed you and would not let go? Well, that is what happened to me with Control. When I started reading, all I knew about it was that it was in the young adult genre and let the rest be a surprise - and what a great surprise it was!

Melissa Cassera brilliantly wove the paranormal aspect into this story in a way that is unique to what I've seen before with paranormal and paranormal romances. The storyline feels fresh and new and is not at all predictable.

You know the book is good when you get to the end and are eagerly looking to see if if there is a preview of the sequel because you are dying to know what happens next and you are hoping for a clue. Control definitely sets the stage for a really intriguing trilogy and I cannot wait to see where it goes from here!

About Control:

For Natalie Covington and Henry Thorne, only one thing is certain: things are about to get out of control. 18-year-old Natalie has big ambitions but very little control over her situation. She’s trapped at an elite boarding school on a private island, where cell phones are forbidden, militant guards line the iron gates, and her practically prearranged boyfriend has eyes for another girl. Everything changes when a mysterious new student arrives named Henry Thorne. Henry is a “precog”—a hidden society of people who can see the future, and who are forbidden to reveal their powers. When Henry has a grisly vision of Natalie being murdered, he ultimately decides to save her and face the consequences. But the consequences of changing the future are more dangerous than Henry imagined, unlocking a wide conspiracy among his kind that’s linked to Natalie’s past, and a desire that threatens to consume them. CONTROL is the first installment in The Lockwood Trilogy. This fast-paced Upper YA/New Adult Paranormal Romance is filled with thrilling turns, self-discovery, spicy language, light steam, and a cliffhanger ending that will leave you obsessing for more. Reader Discretion: this book contains graphic language, violence, and some heat. Best suited for 16+.
