It's really rare for a sequel to be as good as the first book and this one was even better!! Kasie West is one of the best YA authors, her books are always entertaining!!

Such a cute duology! I really liked the plot and the specific abilities that were used. I'm not huge into "paranormal" books but I liked these. I wish they were a little more suspenseful, but they were still enjoyable reads! I liked the mysteries and twists. I want to read more by her!

This book was pretty much everything I wanted it to be. It was pretty much the perfect sequel to Pivot Point.

This book brought on Laila’s point of view. I wasn’t sure how I felt about this when I started the book, mainly because I just wanted to see Addie and Trevor and I wanted that to hurry up, but it grew on me. A little into the book, and I was enjoying Laila’s point of view almost as much as Addie’s. It definitely helped me to like Laila a lot more, being in her head.

This book started a little slow, but quickly Addie was back in the norm world, and Trevor was back. Trevor just kind of makes everything better. I think he’s my favorite West boy thus far. I just love him, and I can’t even explain why.

Addie found out a few things about her family in this book, and Laila tried to deal with everything that was going on with hers. There were some surprising government elements thrown into this book, which I wasn’t quite expecting, and which was really frustrating at points. But the outcome of that seemed to work.

I really like Addie. She’s great and sarcastic and nice. Laila is great, too. She’s harder to get close to, also sarcastic, and responsible. I enjoyed being in both of their heads, and enjoyed reading what was happening to both of them.

Their romances were great, too. Addie and Trevor, as I’ve said, are awesome. They were a little shaky this time around, but they still have great chemistry, and I just love how well they get along. They are the cutest, and probably my favorite West couple.

Laila had a very nice romance, as well. Connor, I think, is kind of the perfect match for Laila. He’s hard to get to know and stubborn as well, but they even each other out. At one point it seemed a little fast, but I’m okay with that.

This book was perfect. I loved it just as much as I’ve loved West’s other books. I especially liked the ending, and how everything worked out. But overall I loved the romances.

At this point, West is on my automatic-buy list, and I can’t wait for her next book.

I liked this as a sequel. It satisfied pretty much all of my expectations! It was cute and frustrating at the same time with knowing what happened that Addie didn't remember. At the end of the first book
Spoiler I was very annoyed at her choice thinking that there had to be some other way for her to have Laila and Trevor but I realize now that the path she chose was her only real choice.
I really liked the new elements in this installment; the dual POV of Laila and Addie, and the
Spoiler new powers that Addie was able to use. However I understand that the author probably didn't want to prolong the story any more, I still didn't believe the solution at the end was that easy?
Overall this book made me super happy and I'm glad I completed this series.

Didn't quite love this one the way I LOVED Pivot Point, but still a very solid book bringing us back into a world full of people with supernatural mind powers. If you liked book one, this is absolutely worth picking up from your libray.

In my opinion, this was even better than the first book. Lots of action and suspense, and I adored Laila and Connor's relationship. See my full review on my blog HERE!
