Cipher #2
Rift
Summer Davis is a Cipher, a person chosen to help people resolve problems with their loved ones before they die. She’s just gotten her second job when weirder-than-usual things start happening. There seems to be a rift between her and the afterlife, and she’s seeing things she shouldn’t, including people who have already passed on. As she struggles to help her new assignment, Liam, make amends with his incarcerated father, she finds it hard to balance being a high school student, Cipher, and girlfriend.
Troy’s been nothing but supportive, but Summer can see her secret weighs on him, and she worries the more she tells him, the sooner he’ll decide he can’t deal with her freaky life. But when a murderer is thrown into the mix, and the girl he killed keeps asking Summer for help, she’ll risk everything to make sure the guy gets what he deserves.

Review originally posted on www.fictitiousdelicious.com 10/14/13:
I'd like to start this review with a disclaimer: Cindi Madsen wrote Troy specifically for me. I know you'll all fall in love with him after reading CIPHER and then have that love solidified in RIFT, but please remember he was written for me. No one else. (This is, of course, a lie. I am finding that the more I repeat it to myself, the more I believe it is true, though.)
RIFT has many layers and brings a new depth to Summer's story. First, there's Liam, her next assignment as a cipher. I just KNEW going into this book that having a good looking, college aged hottie taking up her time would cause issues with her relationship with Troy. And it did. And it SUCKED. There's just really no other way to put that. Sorry.
Then there's a new cipher "side effect" that presents itself. While there are some benefits to this new gift, (OMG I TEARED UP WHEN [BEEEEEEEEEEP] AND [BEEEEEEEEEEEEP] HAPPENED!) the downfall and it's resulting creepiness brings our dear Summer to both physical and emotional exhaustion. There was one chapter that ended with such a creepy factor that I had to count to ten twice before I flipped the page. I was scared, yo!
I found my patience with Summer wearing thin at one point of this book. I know she knows Troy is, like, the best boyfriend ever and I want her to just let go of her fears and TRUST HIM. He's proven over and over and over and over and over again that he loves and accepts all of her, yet she keeps holding on to secrets. C'mon Summer! Let him in!
Oh, one more thing to LOVE. Present parents! I have a soft spot for John and Tiffany and was cheering at the rules they set for Summer. That's a rarity in YA and I always want to jump up and clap when I see it happen. (Which is an awkward thing to see at midnight in my bedroom. Just sayin.)
I might go as far as saying that CIPHER and now RIFT are my favorite Cindi Madsen books. I love the main characters (especially while shirtless and wet), I love the world and I love the people that come into Summer's life because of her job as a cipher. I finished RIFT with a genuine "feel good" feeling. For now. Here's hoping that RESOLUTION, book 3 in the series, proves that LA is a-ok.
