In Crash (Simon Pulse, 2013/Voya February 2013), Jules Demarco deciphers a frightening vision that threatens her long-time crush, Sawyer, son of her family's hated rival restaurateurs. To her horror, she has somehow passed the visions on to Sawyer, who now sees what seems to be a school shooting playing out on every reflective surface. As if sneaking around to hide their relationship is not hard enough, Sawyer and Jules must figure out when and where the attack will take place. Family animosity complicates their frantic quest and adds to the tension as events accelerate toward their potentially tragic conclusion. How can two sixteen-year-olds stop that awful picture in Sawyer's head from becoming bloody reality? The second book in the Visions series (after Crash and Bang, will the next be Boom?) does not have quite the delicious suspense as the first. The puzzle and the conclusion are considerably more violent. Liberal use of the f-word adds little to the narrative. Topical references may limit shelf life. On the positive side, we gain insight into Jules's complicated family, notably her supportive siblings, seeming good-girl Rowan, and lonely, gay Trey. Readers will cheer Sawyer's final act of defiance toward his abusive father. We wonder how this "vision thing" is passed on and whether Jules and Sawyer are obligated to help whoever has the next one. Tell teens to read these titles in order, and watch them pass the books around. Reviewer: Kathleen Beck
What Sawyer¿s seeing might mean murder. The second book in a series from the New York Times bestselling author of the Wake trilogy.
Jules should be happy. She saved a lot of people¿s lives and she¿s finally with Sawyer, pretty much the guy of her dreams. But the nightmare¿s not over, because she somehow managed to pass the psycho vision stuff to Sawyer. Excellent.
Feeling responsible for what he¿s going through and knowing that people¿s lives are at stake, Jules is determined to help him figure it all out. But Sawyer¿s vision is so awful he can barely describe it, much less make sense of it. All he can tell her is there¿s a gun, and eleven ear-splitting shots. Bang.
Jules and Sawyer have to work out the details fast, because the visions are getting worse and that means only one thing: time is running out. But every clue they see takes them down the wrong path. If they can¿t prevent the vision from happening, lives will be lost. And they may be among the casualties...
