Control, corruption, and an experiment gone wrong, the story centers around a particularly horrific day involving Rego Education Site 102. The book successfully creates a thought provoking theme with a believable plot and harrowing situations by intertwining a dystopian society through the view point of individually flawed characters. It’s a story of desperate times and over-reaching authority that will make you ponder the question, “what if?” Which makes this book one heck of a creepy read.
The Controlled is a fast paced, science-fiction horror that is both intriguing and terrifying. Dystopian fans will love this one!
