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. Shes 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 precoga 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 thats linked to Natalies 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+.

while the story itself was fine, i just think there could've been better execution of it. like the last section of the book was wayyyyy too fast paced. it def overwhelmed me, esp since the first like what 50 60% of the novel was giving no development no building up just natalie and henry going from kissing to hating each other in seconds and then it just slammed us in the face with natalie going off w second male lead mr wes.

Henry & Natalie are pupils at an exclusive campus where the elite get to complete their final year of high school. It costs $100K for the year at this finishing school set on a remote, isolated island, but Henry is there on scholarship. Having been raised by a guardian following the deaths of his parents, Henry just wants to get through the year & leave, but he has the ability to see the future. (Continued)

OutsmartYourShelf He is a precog & he starts to see visions of classmate, Natalie Covington, being abducted & killed. Precogs are not supposed to interfere with what they see, but Henry meets up with another precog student (what are the chances!), Wes, who convinces him to warn Natalie.

Natalie Covington, girlfriend of class president (cute but boring & who has a thing for another girl) Jack. Natalie has felt adrift since the death of her mother in a car accident. 2y
OutsmartYourShelf Her relationship with Jack has practically been mandated by their rich fathers but after she tries to help Henry when he has a panic attack during a vision, Natalie finds herself becoming attracted to him. There then follows the usual on/off of love/hate relationship, following each other around, & falling out instead of talking to one another, culminating in Henry being kidnapped from campus, & Natalie now being with Wes instead. Huh?!

OutsmartYourShelf This was a strange book, maybe I'm officially too old for this genre now. There's some swearing (bad language) & a couple of sexually charged scenes, but also a heavy dose of insta-love (one of my pet hates) & the whole plot line just doesn't feel developed enough. Towards the end, the revelations come thick & fast & it all gets a bit “Oprah Winfrey“ (“You get a power, & you get a power. Everyone gets a power“.) 2y
OutsmartYourShelf It has potential but the jury is still out as to whether I would read a sequel. 3⭐

My thanks to #NetGalley & publishers, Mogul Scarf Productions, Inc, for the opportunity to read an ARC.
