That’s why he’s so important to ARES, the secret government agency that regulates other kids like him: Shifters.
They’ve sent him on a mission. To track down the enigmatic Frank Anderson. An ex-Shifter who runs a project for unusual kids – as if the ability to change your every decision wasn’t unusual enough. But Anderson and the kids have a dark secret. One that Scott is determined to discover.
As his obsession with discovering the truth takes him further away from anyone he cares about, his grip on reality starts to weaken. Scott realizes if he can’t control his choices, they’ll control him.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5We find ourselves with Shifter, Scott Tyler on the ride of his life in Control (Shift, #2) by Kim Curran. Control also plays with the "time travel" idea but on a very different level. Our main protagonist is a shifter which means that by the power of thought he can change the surrounding reality. This concept is really something very intriguing and something that Curran does an excellent job explaining. Also, as a side note, and more and more seemingly rare to the YA genre, this novel is told from the male POV which I really enjoyed.Just by looking at the cover art for Control you can instantly tell this will be a high-def read! What a dynamic cover that really pulled me in from the get-go!Control is another second in a series that can also act as a standalone but let me be honest when I say, that after you finish this book you will want both the first (Shift) and the third! This is a fast-paced, action-packed, fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants kind of book and boy, what a ride! Curran plays with similar ideas to the Butterfly Effect...eventually you need to stand by your decisions. What is the truth when you keep changing the past and the present alters? The outcome might not be all you wished for...You will not be disappointed as you join Scott and girlfriend, Aubrey on their grand adventure that will uncover a world filled with amazing as well as truly frightening and suspenseful moments!
