Summary: How far would you go to get revenge?

When Chelsea Givens discovered that her ex-boyfriend Drew dumped her to be with her former best friend Lizzie, she'd never felt so betrayed in her life. Then her new friend Shannon tells her she can help set things right. Chelsea's willing to listen, but what Shannon wants her to believe -- that she shared a past life with Drew -- is impossible. And what she wants her to do to get him back … well, it's downright crazy. 

Could Shannon be telling the truth? And if she is, what lengths will Chelsea go if it means making Lizzie pay? 

Find out in Vengeance, the second part of the Transcend Time Saga.

Cover Talk: Again, I love the cover. The girl is very Chelsea. But I wish a more different, interesting font would have been used. But since the theme had to be continued from the first book, this cover had to be the same so it's ok.

My Thoughts: Loved it! Seriously, Transcend Time Saga is now one of my favorite series/trilogy! This short story was amazing!

Unlike the first book, which was written in Lizzie's POV, this was written in Chelsea's POV. I like how Michelle gave Chelsea her own voice. If you read a part of Remembrance and then a part of Vengeance you would know instantly that both have different narrators. 

I love Michelle's writing! It's detailed without being boring. It's captivating and I definitely liked her writing better in Vengeance, even if it is a short story. Not that I didn't like it before, I just think it is better in the second book.

I was kind of angry at Drew. I mean what he did to Chelsea was wrong and all and I get why he had to do it but why did he have to be so nice to her? I mean he did all these sweet things for her even when he knew he loved Lizzie and the only reason he dated Chelsea was to be close to her. Maybe he thought why not be a good boyfriend if I'm already a boyfriend. Or maybe he's the nice and sweet kind of guy. But I can't help but think that he liked Chelsea too. Maybe not loved her, but liked her.

This was a short story, yes, but still a lot happened! I'm not going to give out any spoilers but seriously, I did not see this coming! And boy do I hate cliffhangers! Yes, this book/story has a cliffhanger. And a pretty good one! Oh I can't wait for the next book!!
