Deprogrammed picks up right where the action packed events of Program 13 left off. And don't worry, McVeigh is as creepy and awful as ever in this book. He certainly takes the cake for awful villians. I just want one of his programs to squish his head like a grape. Or bash it in. Or fry him with electricity. Ok, I think you get the picture. I hate him. In Deprogrammed we get to see a couple of different people's points of view, including Alexis. We get to see some insight into her backstory, which I really liked.

13 and Emile do some more inner battling this book. I can't seem to dislike 13. I know she is just what McVeigh wants her to be, but for some reason, I have a little soft spot for her. She just wants a chance to live. A little part of me is still rooting on her and Emile becoming friends and sharing her body peaceably. We get a lot of questions answered in this sequel to Program 13. And we find out some really cool things. I find it really interesting that even though there isn't even the slightest romance in either the first book or deprogrammed, but so much of this book was about Love. The concept of Love, what it means to feel love and other emotions. What it is that makes a human, human.

I also loved that we got to meet a couple of other programs that were kind of like Emile and program 13. We have grant and Jessica. I'm still not 100% sure about what is going on with Jessica, but I am sure we will find out in the next book. I will say this, I felt so bad for poor Hayden. I really hope he is ok, but we don't have enough answers about him yet. If you are a fan of sci-fi and of creepy dydstopians, you will really enjoy the program 13 series. It is a unique take on the dystopian. It is not a corrupt government, but rather a corporation doing creepy things that no one seems to take enough notice of. Although there is a hint in this book that that may be changing soon. And honestly, that is what makes me excited to read the next book. I can't wait to see when some of the general population gets a whiff of what is going on right under their noses. Should be interesting!
