What's the Story?
Scions of warring pizza dynasties in the Chicago suburbs, Jules DeMarco and Sawyer Angotti would like to be normal teens in love, but they know the "vision curse" that struck them with vivid previews of deadly disasters has moved to one of the survivors of their last adventure, and they have to be there to help. So do Jules' siblings, Trey and Rowan, along with Trey's new love interest, Ben. As they try to save the next round of unknown victims, the teens face other challenges, from a house fire to lifelong personal terrors.
Is It Any Good?
The looming peril, well-paced revelations, lively plot, problem-solving challenges, race against the clock -- and Jules' appealing sense of humor -- will keep readers riveted.
We'd strongly recommend reading the first two books in the Visions series before GASP so you're familiar with the characters and issues. In various plot threads, the characters come into their own, in romantic relationships and in crucial decision-making. As in the previous books, they use a fair amount of crude language; a couple of make-out scenes don't use explicit language but are still pretty vivid.
