Defy Me

This series is so good!

"She's kept in captivity…She lives in a holding tank, where she exists almost permanently underwater. Her brain waves are connected to tidal turbines that convert the kinetic energy of her mind into electricity…She has the power to bend the minds of the people–she can warp and distort realities.” “The decay of society, the broken atmosphere, the birds gone from the sky—It's all an illusion. It's true that our climate has changed, yes—we've done serious damage to the atmosphere, to the animals, to the planet as a whole–but that damage is not irreparable. Scientists were hopeful that, with a careful, concerted effort, we could fix our Earth. Save the future.” “But The Reestablishment didn't like that angle…They didn't want the people to hope. They wanted people to think that our Earth was beyond salvation…Desperate, terrified people…are much easier to control. They used Ella's sister to create the illusion of irreversible devastation, and then they preyed upon the weak and the hopeless, and convinced them to turn to The Reestablishment for support.” Emmaline and Ella were designed for something called Operation Synthesis. Emmaline was meant to be the architect of the world, and Ella was to be the executioner. But Emmaline is dying. They need another powerful weapon with which to control the people. A contingency. A backup plan. The Reestablishment wanted Ella to replace her sister. If they were to magnify Ella's powers the way they did Emmaline’s, Ella “would become the equivalent of a human atom bomb. She could cause mass destruction. Excruciating pain. Death when they please. Across tremendous distances.” Ella and Emmaline’s mother Evie “found a way to harness that electricity–and project it outward. All over the world.” Ella has already killed Evie, and now she has to kill her sister Emmaline. “It's what she wants. It's the only way."

What they did to all the children specifically Aaron and Ella and emmaline is so sad

A little boring but still good!
