review 1: After finishing book 1 and discovering that there was another one to follow I knew I had to download it - it's only currently available on Kindle.Charlotte is still trying to get over the murders of her classmates and the discovery that she was being used by John. A lesson she had to learn the hard way, but even so she still wants to try and help people, but she has to decide whether to follow the rules and resist her visions or if she should let them come and try to change the future. Then she sees a vision of a grisly double homicide and things start getting complicated, especially when the new girl at school finds out about Charlotte's powers and reveals some unusual gifts of her own.As the girls dig further into the future and try to figure out just who is behind the m... moreurders things start to get more and more complicated and soon one of them may be in just as much trouble.Again these books are not my usual taste in books, the mere mention of a homicide let alone a gruesome one would have me running a mile, but I love Pike's writing and wanted to know what happened to Charlotte next so I got stuck in.It was quite gory in places and very violent, in fact I jumped in my seat a few times but I did figure out who was responsible as soon as the character was introduced - it was so obvious to me, so instead of being surprised by the revelation I was still waiting for them to attack again, I knew more would come and man I was not wrong. This took a seriously creepy turn but yet I still had to keep reading. I have to admit that after reading this book I did have nightmares that night but I am a wimp so it's only to be expected I suppose. I'm still glad I read it, as it was such a gripping read, Pike does it so well, a true horror master - if you can get someone so involved they physically can't turn away from the story!I am even hoping that there will be a third book in the series, I can't help it - I want more. (I think I'm mad) :)
review 2: amazing second bookCharlotte's story is so unique and interesting. I absolutely love being in her world ~ so I was absolutely giddy when I noticed there was a book 2. there didn't have to be a book 2, but I love that there is!! (and authors note says third book in 2015!!! YAY!)the story is really well done. even though I knew the end and the twist, I also knew why I did but others didn't. sometimes it's tough to let go of an assumption. the addition of Sophie is just awesome! she is just so kick-butt I can't wait to see what else she can do. I'll definitely be all over book 3 and I'll be adding this author's other books on my TBR list! less
