Pivot Point & Split Second - Kasie West

Ok. Hi y'all. I  have not written here in forever. I have decided to be a more faithful writer. Over the weekend, i read Pivot Point and Split Second, a book by Kasie West. I adored it! It's a long while since I've read something I really really like. A while meaning, a while. It's about this group of people who live in a compound and rarely venture out into the normal world. These people have advanced mind and have powers like telekinesis, mood control, mass manipulator (walk through walls etc.), an eraser (erases and restores memories) and divergence (sees two futures and time manipulation etc.). The protagonist Addison (Addie) Coleman has to choose where to live with when her parents split up. Trust me, it opens up a can of worms...Innocuous decision leads to startling crazy stuff...
 It was great but if i don't complain about a few things would I be a good critic? Not so much. Ok. so i loved it overall, based on the decisions she chose to follow in The process of writing it, it was awesome but...inevitably... I have a few things to say.
  • Book two; Split Second is based on book one.
  • Book one; Pivot point's premise was more than a little skewered.
  • Book two was great and i would love to see more about Duke, Connor and Laila a well as Trevor and Addie.
So, Addie is divergent. Whenever she faces a choice she can 'search' out the outcome. She will have two options with the choice of one. This book is awesome, no doubt about especially book two but seriously! One major factoid is that Addie chooses a choice and knowing full well the outcome still chooses it and doesn't deviate from it one bit. For realsies though? You know the future! come one! So because a path has been fully revealed you can't change a few things and still keep your knowledge! Ack!!!!! Ughhhhh! That one fact will make a lot of sense to you when you read this series! Come one West! We are human beings who think, don't try to hope that we won't notice this shufff! Somethings are not set in stone!

Overall, it's great! I mean yeah... I wanna know more about Laila and Connor, Eli (Laila's brother), Trevor, Duke etc.

Check it out! You'll love it and you'll even love griping about it more!
