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.
Why I’m waiting?
I adore Kasie West.
Yeeesss, more paranormal powers! I was so fascinated by the concept of this world, so any focus on the paranormal powers in this series is a win! I’m excited to see how the characters’ powers evolve. And also, I am so happy this book will focus on Laila too! I am all for more Addie-Laila scenes! Female friendships ftw!
What books are you waiting for?
Eeeks YES!! I so totally agree! Kasie West is freaking amazing, and Pivot Point was TO DIE FOR! I can’t wait to read Split Second. February 11th feels like a million years away, even though it’s not X_X
There is so much excitement about this series in the blogosphere at the moment! I’d admit, I haven’t read Pivot Point yet. Is it one I should be reading asap!?
Kasie West is SO AWESOME.
I wasn’t sure Pivot Point needed a sequel, but I’m REALLY excited to get more Laila!!
YES! I cannot wait to get my hands on this book! I LOVED Pivot Point :)
I think this one sounds really interesting too!
