This story is a twisty ya thrillers about a girl who has visions and uses it to help her kidnapped classmates. The premise is good. I love the stereotypical high school rich popular kids. The Nancy Drew twist was refreshing. I gave it a three star because of the plot points that felt unrelated.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for giving me access to this digital advanced copy to read and review.

It was a bit different than I expected for a ya thriller genre. It kept me interested than I rather am. But it's a good thing cause they were a few twists and turns in this book. Expect a bit messiness but thrilling parts as you read.

Stars: 5/5
Overview:
Hayden sees the past. Just touching an object will occasionally give her flashes of the previous owner's memories. And if that memory happens to be a deeply hidden secret, then she has no problem making you pay for your crime, in cash.

Cassie sees the future, and it sucks. She will randomly wake up from dreams filled with disasters that she feels compelled to stop, and she would really like to stop watching her boyfriend fall in love with someone else!

But when Cassie tries to warn Hayden that her latest blackmailing scheme is a trap, she knows she's really in trouble. All her visions warn her of the upcoming kidnapping, nothing she does stops it. And it's all Hayden's fault!

Can Hayden's gift help her find Cassie before it's too late?
Review:
**I received a free advanced copy from the publisher and have chosen to leave a review**

I really liked this one! This is probably one of the first YA fantasy/supernatural mystery books that I have read and actually liked, and it was done SO well. This book is told in a dual POV, with about 75% of the book in Hayden's POV and the other 25% in Cassie's POV (as you may have expected since she is kidnapped pretty early on). YSHSTC reminded me a lot of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder but with a great magic system and supernatural elements thrown in.

This book was a super fast read for me; I think I was about halfway through in only a few hours because of all the twists and turns. Both of the MCs were equally interesting and especially fun to see in this form, especially because they were complete opposites. I highly recommend you go read this book RIGHT NOW!

Thank you to the publisher and Net Galley for the advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest, personal review. Hayden and Cassie both have the ability to see events, Hayden of the past, Cassie of the future. While Hayden uses these visions to blackmail her fellow students, Cassie tries to help others with hers. Two opposite girls who will eventually need each other when Cassie is kidnapped. Includes some mystery as well as teen angst, the story moves quickly which is a plus. I would recommend to YA readers!

Great book and enjoyed the characters . loved the slight romance and the how well the group worked together. Overall a great book . I would read this author again.

DNF @ 40%. It was just moving so so slow. I kept finding myself putting it down more often than not. The boyfriend breaking up with her "in the future" was super weird to me.

This was a good book and I loved the different twists! having a character with the ability to see the past added a completely different take to most YA myteries. It reminded me a bit of the show The Medium. While I did wish there was a bit more to the whole "seeing the past" ability, overall this book was an enjoyable read.

This book is a mix bag for me where as I enjoy the ending and I like the idea of this book, but it took so much set up at the start of the book to get to the action that I lost interest in this book at points so it took longer to read with that said I can't give it more then a 3 star rating but if you like a slow burn kidnapping book with a little twist then this book is for you.

This was a good one! I really enjoyed reading it, and I would definitely recommend for fans of YA suspense.

You Should Have Seen This Coming by Shani Michelle is a young adult thriller book. The book is dual POV and follows the missing daughter of the sheriff and the girl who is trying to find her. The book was engaging but I didn't care about any of the characters. Overall the book was just alright. I gave it 3.5 stars but I am rounding it up to 4 stars. Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Children's Publishing Group, in exchange for an honest review.

This was a fun YA read about teen psychics. Enjoyed the pacing of the story and the connections between characters. Was able to identify the protagonist about half way through, but still made for a fun read.

I really enjoy YA thrillers and I thought this one sounded particularly fun because of its supernatural twist. This one tells the story of a teenage girl, Hayden, who has visions of the past, and she uses these powers to exploit her rich classmates. However, when another girl (Cassie), who can see the future, is kidnapped after trying to help Hayden, Hayden has to use her powers to solve the mystery..

I would recommend this to younger readers who want a fun mystery and love witchy vibes! I feel like a lot of this book was things I would have loved as a young teen or pre-teen - friendly drama, cool powers, and trying to solve a mystery. The book leaned quite a bit on high school stereotypes, which I didn't love, but I did find the characters to be pretty well developed despite this. I also felt that the mystery was really well done instead of leaning on the supernatural aspects, and it kept me guessing the whole time. I read this really fast because it was so much fun!

I'd recommend to anyone looking for a fun mystery, especially a younger reader.

DNF.

I struggled with the whole “boyfriend breaking up in the future” and essentially having her see visions of him—well, what felt like cheating—was a bit triggering for me.

Thank you NetGalley and Macmillan Children's Publishing Group, Swoon Reads for providing me a copy of this ARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions and views expressed are purely my own and not affiliated with any brand.

This was a fun, fast paced read that kept me guessing up to the very end. Shani Michelle wrote a fantastic and compelling story that I really enjoyed. I would recommend this book.

You Should Have Seen This Coming is a fun YA novel. It keeps a quick pace. The psychic teens have to contend with more than they plan - particularly since they can see the past and future. There is a touch of romance and a great ending.

Notes: Includes mentions of drug use.

The story is engaging and made more so with a few chapters from Cassie’s point of view. As Hayden searches for clues to finding her, we get glimpses of what Cassie is going through. It heightened the suspense, keeping me guessing as to whether Hayden would find her and if Cassie would survive the ordeal. I couldn’t stop swiping to the next page, binge-reading it until morning because I couldn’t put it down.

There are stereotypes with Hayden as the resident outcast, Cassie as the nice girl, and then a longer list of minor characters, including mean girls and jocks, to round up the high school experience. While the characters are stereotypical, there is depth to Hayden and Cassie as the story progresses. Hayden provides the main point of view, but the book starts with one of Cassie’s visions. Hayden is my type of hero: tenacious, toes the line between right and wrong, and has a hidden heart of gold. Hayden is one part Veronica Mars and one part Eleanor Shellstrop from The Good Place (the after-Chidi begrudgingly better version of herself).

There is a potential for more books in the series. The evidence or the hints that there is a deeper story are present throughout. I would be willing to pick up the next book to figure out what is going on. I enjoyed this more than I expected. If you’re a fan of Veronica Mars or like amateur sleuths with a paranormal twist, this book is one you will enjoy.

You Should Have Seen This Coming grabbed my attention from the get go and I couldn't stop reading! This book was fast paced and kept me guessing until the end.
