Jules got the guy... but she also gave him her visions. Once she saved Sawyer and his family from the snow plow disaster, Jules thought everything would go back to normal. But that didn't happen. Soon after the big save, Sawyer comes to her and tells her that he's now seeing a vision. And it's not as simple as stopping a crash. This vision involves eleven loud bangs... gunshots. Sawyer doesn't know where this shooting is going to take place and he doesn't recognize any of the people either. In order to get Sawyer's sanity back and save innocent lives, they're going to have to decipher the clues AGAIN and try to find a way to stop it without getting themselves killed.

My Thoughts:
Ok so I just finished this book and I'm so happy to say that I loved it. Most of the time when I read a sequel to a book I really really liked, I'm disappointed by it. This was SO not the case here. Bang is an awesome continuation of Crash with all the same characters and even more intensity.

Jules and Sawyer are trying to have a relationship and figure out this whole crazy vision thing. The vision that Sawyer is seeing is some kind of school shooting. What school and when it's going down is the big mystery. He also can't see what the shooter looks like, so there's no clues there either. Jules is destroyed that Sawyer is seeing this stuff, and she can't help but feel responsible. After all he did "catch" it from her. She starts doing everything she can think of to help him, but it's hard when she can't see the vision. She's also dealing with her parents who are trying to keep her on a short leash after all her antics and the whole canoodling with an Agnotti issue.

What I liked about this book was that I felt like we got to know Sawyer better... and find out why Jules was so into him. I also liked that the family drama was still there, but the scary vision was much more the main focus, unlike Crash where the two feuding families had a much bigger role. Trey and Rowan were still awesome and Jules is definitely still Jules, but she's more toned down and focused.

If you liked [b:Crash|13146312|Crash (Visions, #1)|Lisa McMann|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1338831965s/13146312.jpg|18323806] or were even a little ehhh about it, you should definitely try this one. In my opinion this second book was even better than the first. It doesn't have as many cute little moments that the first book had, and I missed those parts, but it's much more intense and I think I liked that even better. Now I just have to wait for book 3 (Gasp June 3rd) to find out why all this stuff is happening!!!

OVERALL: YES!!! Loved this sequel to Crash even more than I loved Crash. The intensity in this book is much higher, but the cuteness of the characters is still there. It's definitely a series worth reading!

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.
Book two in the series Visions.

Somehow, Jules found she could see the future and in the process of saving the life of the boy she loved, she passed that ability to him. Now he is seeing a future disaster which she can no longer view. She tries to help him figure out what his visions mean with the help of her brother and sister. ( )

"Bang" continues where "Crash" ended only this time, although Jules is still the narrator, it is Sawyer who is having the visions. I didn't enjoy this quite as much as the first book as the wonderful sibling banter wasn't as prolific and there was a greater emphasis on the romance between Jules and Sawyer. However, still a worthy sequel and I'm interested in discovering who has the visions in the third book. ( )

This is the second book in the Visions series. This one is about how the boy Jules saved in book one, Sawyer, has started having visions too, of a school shooting. This book is just as good as the first and just as intense and romantic. I don't want to talk much about what happens because I don't to spoil the first book in case anyone hasn't read it.

Jules believes she somehow gave this vision power to Sawyer and so they go around figuring out how to stop it like in the first book and she helps teach him her techniques about how she figured out when her vision was. They also have a lot of problems because the families still hate each other a lot and forbid Jules and Sawyer from seeing each other so they have to sneak around a lot. But this book is just as amazing as the first Lisa McMann is an amazing author and I'm thrilled to read the third book next. ( )
