First off, thank you to Netgalley and Macmillan for a digital ARC of this book! It was a fun read that definitely kept me hooked. As a fan of science-fiction/fantasy, I loved the premise of a thriller with two characters who had visions: one with visions of the past, and one with visions of the future. Hayden and Cassie are two sides of the same coin, yet are complete opposites of each other, making it interesting to get the story from both of their points of view. I have read many YA thrillers, so it was refreshing to read one with a supernatural aspect to make it stand out a bit more. I also liked how while the story had a happy ending, it wasn’t crazy unrealistic. I think that this was great for a debut novel, and would be a great read for younger YA readers, or for someone looking for a more simple read.
