Flavor of the week:

Split Second
Kasie West
Series: Pivot Point #2
Publication date: February 11th 2014
by HarperTeen
Life can change in a split second.
Addie hardly recognizes her life since her parents divorced. Her boyfriend used her. Her best friend betrayed her. She can’t believe this is the future she chose. On top of that, her ability is acting up. She’s always been able to Search the future when presented with a choice. Now she can manipulate and slow down time, too . . . but not without a price.
When Addie’s dad invites her to spend her winter break with him, she jumps at the chance to escape into the Norm world of Dallas, Texas. There she meets the handsome and achingly familiar Trevor. 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. And she has an inexplicable desire to change that.
Meanwhile, her best friend, Laila, has a secret of her own: she can restore Addie’s memories . . . once she learns how. But there are powerful people who don’t want to see this happen. 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. And the only one who can help her.
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 . . . and a future that could change everything.

Missie
So many good books! I am excited for Cursed – Vodoo has always interested me
Amanda @ Book Badger
Cursed is definitely worth you time! I read it in October and while it was a little slow at first, it’s so worth it. Trust me Missie! 🙂
Kara @ Great Imaginations
I definitely want The Glass Casket and Lady Thief from this batch. Maybe Grasshopper Jungle. Still deciding. The reviews are starting to convince me though!
Eileen @ Singing and Reading in the Rain
all that glows has been getting fairly positive reviews and i really adore that cover! i think i’m most excited for split second because even though i already read it, it was so cute and adorable and a definite recommend to everyone. thanks for sharing, Giselle! <33 (sorry again for the lack of capitalization the li household has been quite a hot mess recently)
Amanda @ Book Badger
I’ve already read Cursed and it’s so good, I only wish it was available in physical form. *cries forever* I’m also interested in what people think of Split Second, I have Pivot Point but haven’t read it yet, so it’ll be good to get a touch of the opinions. I’ve also previously been interested in Fracture by Megan Miranda, so I’ll have to get to that to see were Vengeance goes. It’s a good week for books, thanks for sharing Giselle! 🙂
Kristin@Blood,Sweat and Books
I see a few I really want to read but I’m probably most excited for The Worlds We Make & The Tyrants Daughter.
Lisa (Lost in Literature)
Ahhhh!!! I can’t wait for Split Second to arrive here! Soooo excited!! 🙂
Jess
Split Second is one of my favorites! I’m for sure going to be buying the finished copy for my bookshelf when it comes out! 😀
Pili
I think I’m most excited about Solving For Ex, cause I’m in the book tour and I adored the book so much!
I still haven’t read Pivot Point but now that Split Second will be out, I think it’s time I started it!
Savannah
Many many awesome new books!
