After the violent death of her father, 17 year-old Zelia loses her younger sister, Dylia, during an abduction at a foster care agency. It turns out her sister Dylia isn’t just pretty and sweet—she’s illegal. In the year 2150, DNA must be pure by law, and anyone with enhanced genes face death. Zelia’s only allies are the freak-show inhabitants of her new, underground foster home. Along with the unexpected love of a very strange boy, she will need her flaws and their illicit traits to save the only family she has left.

First of all, I kind of love the cover. It’s not that complex or anything, but I really like the simplicity of it. Also, I adore books with DNA/genetic modifications. Control sounds like it could be really interesting!
Sounds like a good one! I think commentluv or something linked my WoW. XD
This sounds awesome! It appeals to both the science side and the fictional loving side of me. I’m definitely looking forward to this. I wonder what the genetic enhancements are…
Well this one is different. But I am intrigued.
Great pick, I hadn’t heard of this one before but it’s on my wishlist now!
I agree, that cover IS simple yet beautiful at the same time. I’m loving the sound of this! >.<
Oh and the release date is on Boxing Day! Hehe 😉
I’m anxiously awaiting this one as well! I love science fiction in Young Adult books, so I really feel like this is a book for me. It’s on Edelweiss! 😀
This week, my WoW features a fellow upcoming Penguin release!
Here is my WoW post!
Wow! I agree… This DOES sound interesting! And I kind of adore that cover myself. I’m a sucker for simple, beautiful covers. 🙂
Hehe, this is my WoW pick this week too! (When it goes live in about half hour, that is!)
I’ve seen the description for the book, but it’s the first time I see the cover. Sounds awesome!
A dystiopian, which I’m not so found of at the moment, but that will change, so this goes on my radar. Thanks. My WoW
I discovered this one on someone’s WoW a couple of weeks ago and immediately added it to my TBR. It does sound amazing…and I, too, love books featuring genetic modifications. Great pick!
This sounds great!
Ooh, this one sounds really good! And I love the simplicity of the darkly glowing cover. Gorgeous.
I agree, sometimes the simple covers are my favorites. One of my picks today also has to do with DNA genetics 🙂
I saw this book a few weeks back – it looks SO good! 😀 I can’t wait for it to be released. 🙂 Thanks for spotlighting this book. ^.^
Happy Reading! 😀

Welllll, this book speaks right too me as a Biologist working on DNA modifications, but this also makes is sometimes hard to read such stories because you might see the flaws…
Stilll. definitely want to read it!
I love books about genetic experiments, and this one has been on my TBR list for a while now 😀 Plus the cover is awesome. I love the light radiating from the glass that signify some sort of chemical reaction. Great pick! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
Great pick! Love the cover!
Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
I love the cover too! This book sounds really interesting. Happy reading and thanks for stopping by. 🙂
Hi, Ashley!
This book is completely new to me, but I sure LOVE that cover!! Well, blue is my favorite color, so a blue cover, or one containing some blue, will always catch my eye! However, I also like the plot, though. Sounds very, very intriguing! I like reading dystopian fiction, so I know I’ll enjoy this one!
By the way, thanks for visiting my WOW post and commenting!! 🙂
