Who's good... and who's bad?
Possession,
by debut author Elana Johnson,
is a dystopian and futuristic story of love, rebellion and the hope
for a better world. This complex plot blurs the lines between good
and bad when the main character, Vi, is left to defend free will.
Good people,
Goodies, and bad people, Baddies, are separated in this society run
by the tyrannical, corrupt, and self-indulgent Thinkers who have the
power to brainwash any member of society for personal gain. Vi knows
the Thinkers have too much control and, because of her special
powers, may be the only one capable of stopping them.
In an intense
and action-packed story, Vi faces many challenges and is forced to
reassess everything she thought she once knew. She is thrown into
prison, which provokes her to join the rebellion in an attempt to
save her boyfriend, Zenn, from the brainwashing Thinkers. In prison
she meets Jag, the complete opposite of charming, well-meaning Zenn.
Jag is a Baddie and convinces Vi to join the rebellion. Vi struggles
throughout her journey to decide between Jag and Zenn…and who is
actually the good guy.
Throughout
this novel, readers lose sight of who is supposed to be bad and who
is good. Vi’s fight is for free will and she wonders if there is a
true division between good and bad people or if, maybe, there are
both good and bad qualities in us all.
Be sure to
pick up a copy of Posession (in
stores now). The difference between good and evil is questioned, the
right to a free society is fought for, and love is found.
