Collide Kindle Edition

by Michelle Madow (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 470 ratings
From USA Today bestselling author Michelle Madow, experience an epic journey of self-discovery, romance, and sacrifice as one girl races against time to prevent a tragedy that threatens to unravel her reality.

Annabelle should have died when she was shot at the Halloween dance.

Instead she wakes up—one week earlier, in a parallel universe where her mom's fatal car accident six months ago never happened.

A world with her mom still in it was all she ever wanted. But in this timeline, everything's different—her grades, her friends, and even her boyfriend. She's a stranger in her own body, and she doesn't like who she's become.

But one thing is the same—that shooting will still happen at the end of the week.

She's the only one who knows. Which means she's the only one who can stop it.

But with no one to trust and everything she knows turned upside down, can she do it in time?

Step into an addicting young adult adventure where every wish comes true, but at a deadly price. With a unique fantasy twist, enough mysteries to keep you guessing until the last page, and a paranormal romance that will leave you more torn than ever before, Collide is a must-read for anyone looking for a thrilling standalone story full of suspense and heart.

From the Back Cover

"Jake." I cupped a hand around his cheek, keeping the other held against the wound. "Look at me. Help's on the way. You have to keep fighting. You have to pull through this."

He stared at the ceiling, and I kept trying to force him to look at me. But it was hopeless. His eyes were unfocused--lifeless--and his head was a dead weight in my hand.

"No!" I pounded on his chest, my body heaving as I collapsed on top of him. He couldn't be gone. This couldn't happen to someone I loved.

Not again.

"Come on, Jake," I cried. "We need to get out of here. I love you... you can't leave me. You have to wake up. Please. Wake up."

Then another shot cracked through the air, my head seared with blinding pain, and everything went dark.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Collide
    Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2017
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Collide introduces us to Anna who has lost her mother recently and gone through a rough time recovering from the loss. Now she is focused on school and has her boyfriend Jake that she's really close with and the promise of the upcoming Halloween dance. We follow Anna through the week leading up to the dance but during the actual event things go horribly wrong when a shooter appears and Anna is the target.

    Rewind a week and Anna awakens in what seems to be a parallel universe after her horrid night. In this world though Anna finds that her mother is still alive and the friends she had abandoned in the world she knew are still close to her but her boyfriend Jake is now with someone else. Unfortunately for Anna it seems as events begin to play out in this world the timeline is still leading to the dance and that horrific night so will she be able to stop it this time?

    As usual with a Michelle Madow book Collide immediately grabbed my attention right from the start with it's fast paced action and a unique story line mixing time travel and parallel universes along with a young adult romance filled with plenty of action. There is a bit of a love triangle involved in the story while switching universes for those that don't enjoy those but for me this was one that was easily understandable and not a distraction from the overall story.

    Now, for the couple of things I didn't quite like with this one bringing my rating down a tad bit. First, as much as I enjoyed the fast pace and plot in here there are a few questions left at the end that I would love to see continued. Originally this was meant as a standalone but Michelle has expressed a possibility for a sequel so maybe those will be answered. Also, I would have liked the chapters to be better sorted... they were titled by the date and that would sometimes mean several in a row with the same title which could be a tad confusing.

    Overall, Even with a couple of complaints this was still another great read from Michelle Madow, fast paced and action packed.

    I received an advance copy from the author.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Teen Girl Travels Back in Time to Save Boyfriend
    Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2017
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    The last day of spring break Anna (aka Annabelle) and younger brother Eric have the opportunity to go out for dinner with their parents. Eric wants Italian and Anna craves sushi. Mom tosses a coin, Anna picks heads, and pizza wins. Lucky for them! The following morning the news reported an outbreak of food poisoning at the Japanese restaurant.

    Or were they lucky? If Anna had called tails instead, her mother would have eaten sushi and be too sick to go to the hospital where she worked as a doctor. She would have avoided being struck by a truck driver that ran a red light and killed her instantly. And Anna’s life wouldn’t have crumbled.

    Unfortunately, Anna couldn’t change her past and she’s trying to survive without her mother in her present. Six months later she’s finally bouncing back and excited about the upcoming Halloween dance at school and her date with boyfriend Jake. However, at the party, when the couple is dancing the first slow dance of the evening, a shot rings out in the gym causing panic. Anna’s dress turns crimson as Jake keels over in her arms. Another shot rams into Anna’s skull and all goes dark.

    When Anna wakes up she soon realizes she’s reliving the week before the Halloween Dance providing her the opportunity to save Jake’s life. In this parallel universe Anna goes by the name of Annabelle and her mother ate sushi.

    Michelle Madow creates a very exciting time travel YA love story through the eyes of Anna/Annabelle. The attractive teenager tries to convince her friends in this new universe who she really is and the dangers they face.

    The plot of Madow’s novel, Collide, and her efforts at character development are extremely creative as Anna expertly works her friends in believing her story. But will her efforts be in vain to stop the unknown assassin?

    5.0 out of 5 stars I wish I had made myself wait longer
    Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2017

    Me: How do you write a review for a book you are mad at yourself for reading?

    Review reader: "Mad at yourself for reading?", but you gave it 5 stars.

    Me: Let me explain:

    I had a feeling I would enjoy this book from reading the blurb so I signed up for an ARC. I received the ARC in my email and was anxious to get started, to the point where I wanted to put down what I was reading and start "Collide". I made myself wait.

    I wish I had made myself wait longer.

    Collide was an amazing rollercoaster of emotions.

    'I should have died when I was shot at the Halloween dance.'

    Imagine finding a way to live your life after your mother is killed in a car accident. Imagine finding yourself in the ashes of the biggest disaster of your life, finding new friends, obtaining a new perspective on life, going through each day with more appreciation than you ever thought you could have...to have it ripped away. Imagine knowing you should have died, but wake up only to repeat the last week but everything, and I mean EVERYTHING is different. Would you have the strength to go through what the characters in Collide go through? Would you find the Courage to try to make everything different?

    I loved every minute of "Collide". It's one you will want to read from start to finish and then read again once you are done. It will leave you frustrated at yourself for reading it as quickly as you will as that means you will have to wait that much longer for more.

    Please tell me there will be more

    One of Us is Lying meets Pretty in Pink. You literally have to read to the last chapter in this novel to appreciate the selfless journey teen girl Anna/Annabelle is on.

    To think it’s a story about a girl choosing between two “great guys” is to cut short all that Author Michelle Madow has to offer in this YA Mystery / RomCom novel.

    For anyone who has lost a parent they were close to, the novel resonates with relatable feelings.

    Madow provides us with solid characters, a realistic background and concise storytelling. The author moves the story forward in plausible ways to solve both the internal and external mysteries.

    This was my first reading of a stand alone novel by the author and it certainly won’t be my last.
