Summary
Summary
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...

Horn Book Review
Having passed her gift/curse of premonitory visions (first seen in Crash) to her boyfriend Sawyer, Jules must help him prevent a school shooting while processing the trauma of the visions. McMann crafts a refreshingly down-to-earth tale of supernaturally aided sleuthing, with richly nuanced family drama and warm sibling bonding rounding out the central star-crossed romance and race against time.

Booklist Review
At the end of Crash (2013), 16-year-old Jules Demarco saved many people's lives, including that of her now boyfriend Sawyer Agotti. Unfortunately, she also transferred her visions to him, and so a scene is playing on repeat in his mind: there's a gun and 11 bangs. The visions quickly grow in intensity, and Sawyer and Jules don't have much time to intervene and prevent a grisly school shooting (which, sadly, feels all too topical). In between, there's drama with Jules' family she is supposed to steer clear of Sawyer, son of her father's rival and her sexual awakening (although no actual sex). The stakes seem higher this time around: there are more lives at risk, less information to go on, and the pace moves at a faster clip. Fans of the first novel, by the popular author of the Wake trilogy, will, alongside Jules, Sawyer, and Jules' brother, Trey, race against the clock. This readable mystery contains romance and suspense, and the ending ensures there are more visions to come. But who is next to see unimaginable things?--Kelley, Ann Copyright 2010 Booklist
Kirkus Review
Captivating in its own right, McMann's second installment in the Visions trilogy is more than a bridge novel. It's been just over a week since Jules saved new boyfriend Sawyer and his family's rival pizza parlor, and Sawyer has begun seeing his own visions of tragedy. The author ratchets up the intensity, as Sawyer's visions appear in even more unusual venues and include sound--"[e]leven fucking gunshots" to be exact. Enlisting the help of Jules' gay, older brother, Trey, the teens set out to solve the mystery of where the shooting takes place and who may be involved--on both sides of the gun. They deduce that the gunshots take place at a school, but talking and writing about a school shooting may get them into trouble. Playing sleuth rather than receiving the visions this time, Jules has more time to focus on the ethics of the visions, such as what purpose the visions fulfill and whether the recipients have a moral obligation to save the lives they see in their visions. It's not just visions but Jules and Sawyer's relationship that grows bolder, with both new emotional and physical feelings (though sex is not an issue yet). Who will receive the visions next? McMann gives fewer hints this time, but another dramatic, quick-paced thriller is certain. (Supernatural thriller. 14 up)]] Copyright Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
