Life can change in a split second.
Addie hardly recognizes her life since her parents divorced. Her boyfriend used her. Her best friend betrayed her. She can’t believe this is the future she chose. On top of that, her ability is acting up. She’s always been able to Search the future when presented with a choice. Now she can manipulate and slow down time, too . . . but not without a price.
When Addie’s dad invites her to spend her winter break with him, she jumps at the chance to escape into the Norm world of Dallas, Texas. There she meets the handsome and achingly familiar Trevor. He’s a virtual stranger to her, so why does her heart do a funny flip every time she sees him? But after witnessing secrets that were supposed to stay hidden, Trevor quickly seems more suspicious of Addie than interested in her. And she has an inexplicable desire to change that.
Meanwhile, her best friend, Laila, has a secret of her own: she can restore Addie’s memories . . . once she learns how. But there are powerful people who don’t want to see this happen. Desperate, Laila tries to manipulate Connor, a brooding bad boy from school—but he seems to be the only boy in the Compound immune to her charms. And the only one who can help her.
As Addie and Laila frantically attempt to retrieve the lost memories, Addie must piece together a world she thought she knew before she loses the love she nearly forgot . . . and a future that could change everything.
OUT NOW from HarperCollins!
I loved book one, Pivot Point! And Split Second totally delivered!
This series is just so much fun. It's unique in the YA genre, and I absolutely loveeeee the way these are written. Kasie West manages to write an intense, shock-worthy story, while still giving it an air of adorableness. Some of her sentences just crack me up. Her characters burst off of the pages. And from what I've experienced, going to a Kasie West signing...she is the cutest and sweetest author ever!
One thing I loved about this sequel is that the reader also gets to experience Addie's best friend Laila's point of view.
I always think that's a risk, changing up what readers are used to in book one. But I think this actually made it THAT much better. Laila's chapters actually became my favorite ones to read! But don't be fooled. You'll still be dying and dying some more, for Trevor. (As I'm writing this review, my dogs are howling to a siren out back. And while that's totally distracting, I can still see Trevor's face in my mind. Which means that boy keeps my attention, yo!)
Overall, this book gets a rockin set of stars from me. I love a book that keeps me up late into the night, and Split Second did that, and when I was done, I was upset...I wanted more!! I'm pretty sure this was a duology...which means it's all over. (sad Lindsay). But I know West will have plenty more successes in the future. I'm looking forward to seeing what she comes up with!
Congrats to Kasie West on another great read---Grab a copy today!
