The twist was a game-changer, and made for a heart-racing finish to the book! There was a twist at the end of the book that I definitely didn’t see coming – at least not in the way that it happened. I often found myself wondering what was going to happen next! There was enough action to keep it interesting, while keeping the focus on character growth. There was plenty of intrigue in this book and the pacing was spot-on.

Laila and Addie don’t know who to trust and they have to be careful. All the while, (as is said in the synopsis) there are powerful people who don’t want that to happen. But I will say that Addie starts discovering that her powers are transforming and that Laila wants her powers to transform. I don’t want to say too much about the plot, because I don’t want to give anything away. And Connor was just the right mix of bad boy with a heart of gold (meaning, he had a bit of an edge, but he wasn’t a jerk!). Laila’s vulnerability started showing – something that she hated. I loved seeing that connection deepen into something more. You could see a connection between them right away, even though they both shielded themselves with snarkiness and an air of indifference. I thought that the relationship between Laila and Connor was well-developed. In this book we got to see a lot more about what makes Laila tick – why she holds herself aloof and uses boys to get what she wants without connecting with them. The book actually switched back and forth between Laila’s and Addie’s POVs, so we got to learn a lot more about Laila while, at the same time, her story was entwined with Addie’s. I was surprised (and actually a little worried) when I read the back of this book (which wasn’t as detailed as the actual blurb) – it sounded like it would focus on Laila instead of on Addie. 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.

But there are powerful people who don't want this to happen. Laila, her best friend, has a secret of her own: she can restore Addie's memories. 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. There she meets the handsome and achingly familiar Trevor. So when Addie's dad invites her to spend her winter break with him in the Norm world, she jumps at the chance. Kasie West delivers nail-biting suspense and heart-pounding romance in the thrilling sequel to Pivot Point.Īddie has always been able to see the future when faced with a choice, but that doesn't make her present any easier.
