Quinn's predicament is definitely something to shoulder. A blessing or curse, however you view her "power" is in the eye of the beholder, but what she's seen most recently is definitely on the darker side of things. A death, but not just any, nor was it any old way, or of someone if no importance. No, this was someone she had yet to know, and if her vision is anything to go by (which it always is) yet to LOVE. How's THAT for a fortune cookie that NO ONE wanted ever? Yeah, exactly. So, how to fix it? CAN it be fixed? Is anything actually broken or are we embarking on a Final Destination-esque journey that will only end when everyone is taken out? Questions aplenty, but answers are few and far between.

Watching Quinn and same said mysterious stranger turned potential love (aka Griffin) was SO HARD. I mean, would knowing your relationship has an expiration date help or hurt? What about is only ONE party knows? Yeah, my heart bled for Quinn...but Griffin's life wasn't a walk in the park either, and as we learn more about him, we see where the deadly turn of events could be coming from. Word to the wise? Literally about halfway through...there's a twist you won't see coming. Promise. Now, later on, there's a few turns that I did see coming, but that could be because of the books I've read previously making me already suspicious of those that your average reader may not be (and since none of you are average, I'm pretty sure you'll pick it up to), but it doesn't ruin anything because, just like Quinn's visions, you just won't believe the outcome until you've read it with your own eyes. Love is lost for good, life is lost for some, and eyes are opened to things that were kept hidden like so many skeletons in a closet.

One small mention of a minor pet peeve for me...Quinn's time spent in her head. Honestly, a big part of the book is her going back and forth about whether to tell or not, can she do anything or not, bemoaning her fate, and the lot. It was only a speed bump in my reading adventure though because my FINAL VERDICT is that I loved it! I would highly recommend it to Contemporary Young Adult fans who love a bit of mystery, romance, friendship, and something DARKER that doesn't go BUMP in the night, but BANG!


**eARC received for review; opinions are my own ( )

I enjoyed this one. The description of this book really appealed to me from the start so I thought it would be worth a try. I was really curious about how the ability to see when your relationship with someone would end would play out in a story, and I think that it worked pretty well. This was a really quick read, and I found it to be quite enjoyable.

When Quinn touches someone for the first time, she sees how that relationship will end. She knows if it will be a long term relationship or if it will end quickly. I thought that this was a really interesting ability and it made sense that it would have a big impact on Quinn's life. Do you go out on a date with someone you know will break your heart? Unfortunately, even though she knows what is going to happen, she can't do anything to stop it.

Quinn meets Griffin at an art gallery. They are both there to find inspiration: Quinn for her photography and Griffin for his music. When she touches him, she sees that he will die soon while telling her that he loves her. As fate would have it, she soon learns that he lives in the same apartment complex as she lives with her grandmother. They are drawn to each other and love spending time with each other but Quinn is afraid that she might be the cause of his upcoming death.

I liked the characters in this book. Quinn had been through a lot in her life and her special abilities have not made things any easier for her. Griffin has had his own challenges and is trying to start fresh on his own in a different state. It really seemed like these two needed each other and I thought that they were good together. Quinn's friend Olivia was a good source of support for her and her new boyfriend, Jack, seemed like a good guy as well.

I do wish that we would have had the chance to see Quinn have to deal with her powers more often in this book. I only remember it happening twice in the story and I think it would have made the story more interesting if it came up more often. I didn't find the mystery to be too hard to figure out but I was still eager to see how things played out. There were a couple of times in the story when things felt a little too convenient but nothing that I couldn't look past.

I would recommend this book to others. I thought that this was a fun story with an imaginative premise. I wouldn't hesitate to read more of this author's work in the future.

I received a digital review copy of this book from Entangled: Teen via NetGalley. ( )

While sold as a fantasy, this one slides more into the paranormal category and that with only a slight tip-toe over the 'paranormal' line. But young adult romance fans, who enjoy a dash of thriller/mystery tension, will enjoy this one quite a bit.

Quinn carries a several generation old curse, which allows her to snap a vision of the last time she'll see someone when she touches them. This has completely ruined her dating life, since she seen every break-up before it happens. Every attempt to change the results has been fruitless, but when she touches a 'hot' guy at the museum and sees him bleeding out in front of her with a gunshot wound to the gut, three words turn her world upside down—I love you.

If I would review this one as a fantasy (as it's sold), I'd have to mark it down a star just for not meeting that mark. But as a romance with a bit of tension, it's an engaging read. Quinn has a curse (as her family calls it), which hits one female of every generation a little differently. Her version has her seeing the last seconds she meets with someone, when she touches them. While this aspect alone could open up all sorts of plot directions, the author chops it off before it has a chance to bloom. As the reader, we only see the curse's vision the first time Quinn touches the hero of this tale. There's also basically no background given as to the origin of the curse or any other information surrounding it. Honestly, I found it disappointing that the only thing which seemed to interest Quinn was its hit on her dating life. But shove that all aside, view it as the beginning point to a romance (and not a fantasy), and the rest works more than well enough to create an intriguing read.

Quinn is a kind hearted young woman, who is easy to root for since she finally has a shot at love...something she thought was beyond her reach. Her hopes are more than understandable, and she's got the hero to slide right along into every emotional scene. He's sweet, a little dorky-ish, packs secrets, and makes her heart race the second he nears her. It's a bit of love at first site, but thanks to Quinn's concerns about seeing his approaching, violent death, even that works well.

The mystery end carries enough thrills to make each page interesting. It wasn't hard to figure out where the whole thing was going, but that didn't make it any less fun to read. I would have liked to have seen a bit more depth from the other characters... and maybe, more characters , since that would have opened the pool of 'who dun-it's quite a bit, but so, it was a very enjoyable read.

I'm not crying! Okay, maybe I am...
Wow! What a journey!

I'd like to point out that I'd consider this book a YA Contemporary Romance with some mysterious twists thrown in as the plot is pretty focused on Quinn's relationship with a certain boy she meets. Yes, she does have visions, but I don't think that's enough to push this book into 'Fantasy' territory. Now, that being said, the is plot solid! It does get a tad predictable at times and the ending was what I was rooting for the whole book, BUT I loved the story so much and became so invested in Quinn and her choices, I didn't care about the predictability.

If you love sweet YA romance, Mysteries/Thrillers, or just a crazy rollercoaster ride...I'd definitely recommend checking this one out! It's a fantastic book and I wholly enjoyed it.

Big thanks to Entangled Teen via NetGalley for providing an e-arc for me to read and honestly review! ( )
