Pivot Point Books in Order

The Pivot Point books follow Addison Coleman, a girl who lives inside a hidden compound where everyone has advanced mental abilities. Addie is a Searcher, which means she can push her mind forward in time and live through the consequences of different choices before she ever makes them. On paper it sounds like the perfect way to avoid disaster.

Inside the Compound, Addie has a tight circle of friends, a football team powered by telekinesis, and rules meant to keep their talents secret from the outside world. Her best friend Laila can erase or alter memories, which makes her fun, dangerous, and central to almost every mess Addie gets into. Their world feels like a normal high school turned up a notch, full of cafeteria drama and crushes layered over a quietly unsettling leadership.

Everything tilts when Addie's parents announce they are divorcing and she has to choose which one to live with.

In Pivot Point, she Searches the next six weeks of both paths. One future shows her leaving the Compound to start over at a regular high school in Texas, where she falls for Trevor, a kind, artistic boy who has no idea powers exist. The other future keeps her at home, dating the charismatic quarterback Duke and sinking deeper into the politics of their gifted community. The story alternates between these timelines, so you watch both romances unfold alongside a slow building mystery that ties them together.

As Addie digs into the strange deaths and disappearances linked to her father's investigation, she realizes how easily mind powers can be used to manipulate memories, cover up crimes, and even rewrite love. Her friendship with Laila becomes as important as any romance, especially when memory loss and second chances are suddenly part of the cost of survival. The ending forces her to decide not just which future she can live with, but what she is willing to give up to protect the people she loves.

The sequel, Split Second, widens the lens. Part of the story follows Addie in the aftermath of her choice, visiting her dad in the Norm world and crossing paths with Trevor again under very different circumstances. The other part follows Laila, whose own ability is changing in unnerving ways as she tries to restore what Addie has lost and keep her family safe. Together, the two books blend paranormal suspense with Kasie West's signature humor and romance, making this a great pick if you like speculative stories that still feel grounded in everyday teenage life.
