***I received the eBook free as a review copy from the publisher through Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review***Sophie McKenzie has an amazing talent for writing action packed YA thrillers that are simply impossible to put down. Split Second was no exception.
I tried so hard to love this book. This one really reminded me of a book called BlackOut by Robinson Wells but where that one had some yummy plot twists and well a paranormal aspect.
Told in alternating voices, this thriller focuses on two teens caught up in a series of terrorist plots. Charlie's mother dies during an explosion in an open-air market while Nat was in that very same market when the explosion occurred.
I thought this book was really interesting because it was more than your typical love story. The aspects of the decline of the society and the troubles that were going on along with the youth trying to revolt was all intriguing and made for a really good story!.
I couldn't really get into this book, which was disappointing. I had watched a documentary similar to the idea behind this novel, and that was engaging, gritty, and honest.
