Synopsis...
Eleven minutes passed before Delaney Maxwell was pulled from the icy waters of a Maine lake by her best friend Decker Phillips. By then her heart had stopped beating. Her brain had stopped working. She was dead. And yet she somehow defied medical precedent to come back seemingly fine. Everyone wants Delaney to be all right, but she knows she's far from normal. Pulled by strange sensations she can't control or explain, Delaney finds herself drawn to the dying. Is her altered brain now predicting death, or causing it?
Then Delaney meets Troy Varga, who recently emerged from a coma with similar abilities. At first she's reassured to find someone who understands the strangeness of her new existence, but Delaney soon discovers that Troy's motives aren't quite what she thought. Is their gift a miracle, a freak of nature-or something much more frightening?

Review....
I snapped up this book due to a review, by Pebbles730, on youtube and read it so quickly to start with then I got bored slightly towards the middle but then continued really fast for 2 days and read the other half. Basically, this book has 2 parts: 1- Delaney in hospital, 2- Delaney's life with Decker and Troy. I'm completely Team Decker in this book because he is such a loyal, trustworthy friend to Delaney and she is unable to realise what she has in front of her. Troy on the other hand, he somehow manages to frustrate me because he is such a stalker! Troy and Delaney's relationship as friends confuses me because sometimes they are so close to each other and they don't care what anyone perceives of them, but other times they are at each others necks. I have so much empathy for Delaney's character due to what she's been through and the struggle with the falling relationship between her parents, her character is described and introduced very well and better than the other characters in the book. Overall, Megan Miranda's writing style never fails to please me and Fracture is no exception, I score this book 3.5/5, B+
