Violet Schoenfeld lives in a world where the majority of the population is controlled by Thinkers. They control just about every aspect of your life, from your job to even who you are matched with. In the goodgrounds territory human contact is forbidden. Your mind is brainwashed by personalized recordings that you listen to while you sleep. But ever since Violet's father visited the Badlands and never returned, Vi has had a hard time following the rules. She soon finds herself in prison after getting caught touching her approved match in a park after hours. 
 Violet meets Jag Barque in prison and is immediately drawn to him. Jag cannot be controlled by the thought transmissions and is a baddie through and through. Vi and Jag make an escape from prison and find themselves on the run in the Badlands from the Thinkers. Being with Jag is an eye opening experience for Violet. The more she learns about her controlling society, the more she questions her role in it. Is everything Black and White? Goodies and Baddie? Does she belong to a side? Or does her reality blur the lines? 
 I absolutely love the dystopian genre and immediately sought out Possession. The whole concept of the Thinkers really drew me in. It had a modern day 1984 vibe. Violet's voice felt like a genuine teenager which gave it that realism. I do wish the world building had been more developed throughout the novel. Not having a clear picture of it did distract me a little while reading. 
 There's a love triangle but the relationships feel more natural than most contrived love triangles. Zenn is Violet's best friend. Someone who has always been there and when they get matched, their relationship only becomes more comfortable. Jag is the new and exciting. It's not as easy with him. Violet doesn't know everything about him and can't always predict his actions. The choice between familiar and the unexpected isn't an easy one for Violet to make. 
 Full of twists and turns, Possession will keep you guessing until the very end. Once you get there, it will rip your heart out and serve it to you on a platter. Where you can watch it bleed out with no way to stop it. You are no longer in control. 
 It's a game you see. One you must play. I hope you pay attention along the way. Because in the end, who will you trust?
