Split Second begins heavy on the dramatic irony. SPLIT SECOND is a fun, romantic sequel with excellent character development and heart-racing action. SPLIT SECOND presented the reader with troubling insight into how The Compound operates and it could be very interesting to dive deeper into the consequences of such drastic decisions. I would really love to see greater exploration of how The Compound's actions have affected the world at large. The Compound hasn't been fleshed out enough for me yet. They have that perfect slow-burn going, where they start off annoying each other and then realize how much they actually care.īy reading the reviews already posted by YABC Editors, I found out that this was the last book in this series! I honestly thought there would be more. I adored Laila and Connor's blossoming relationship. But wait.there's more! Addie and Trevor aren't the only lovebirds in this story. Though I have to give mad props to Kasie West for making their relationship seem just as effortless and right as the first time around. Trevor barely even knows Addie, so it was definitely a bit heartbreaking to see her remember what she's lost. The romance is certainly upped in this sequel. I loved how even though Laila made a mistake and betrayed Addie, they work through it because they know they love each other. Their differences really strengthen their relationship. Their voices leap off the page and though the two are best friends, they're very different from each other. I was concerned that their voices would blend together, but I didn't even need to look at the chapter headings to know whose narration I was reading. Laila's narration is so different from Addie's. Usually, I'm not the biggest fan of multiple points-of-view, but I should not have worried with this book. With SPLIT SECOND, we have the addition of Laila's narrative. There's something so natural about West's writing style that makes it seem like you're right there in the pages with the characters.Īnd the characters are one of the driving forces of the novel. I raced through PIVOT POINT and found myself doing the same with SPLIT SECOND. It's impossible to write a Kasie West review without exclaiming over how compulsively readable her books are. and a future that could change everything. 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.
