#full tilt

I only remember one scene and very little else, which really really sucks, but i remember this scene so vividly that I hope if you’ve read the book you should hopefully know what I’m talking about. The scene involves the protagonist using a computer when something else takes it over and the words “what goes around comes around” fill up the screen, repeating over and over.

I would’ve read this in 2008-2014, and found it in my school library. It was definitely for a younger audience, probably for tweens, had chapters and was not illustrated. I believe the genre was mystery with paranormal elements but I could be wrong.

Ive literally been searching for years. I’ve asked friends and family. I’ve posted on Reddit multiple times, on Discord servers, in private reading groups, I’ve been looking so long I was asking on Yahoo Answers. I feel like I’m going crazy, I remember this so vividly, I don’t think it’s a false memory but nobody else seems to remember

I don’t want to clog up any tags with an irrelevant post but I’m going to tag this with a few other books/authors I remember reading at the time. I can’t say if they’re anything alike but hopefully appeal to the same demographic and can put this on the right person’s feed. This is the only time I’ll do this promise.

No pressure but please reblog if you are willing so I can reach more people and finally solve this mystery.

Ooh, I hadn't actually, but I'll def add that to the maybe pile! ☺️

I do really want to write some reunion sex, so that could be a good opportunity for that unless something else occurs to me!

Bet sid starts looking forward to those reunion interactions the second he puts geno on his summer flight to Russia 🤭

I shall ponder... 🥰

Dark Horizons (Jenny T. Colgan) Synopsis: "Now, you may or may not have noticed, but we appear to be on fire…"

On a windswept Northern shore, at the very tip of what will one day become Scotland, the islanders believe the worst they have to fear is a Viking attack. Then the burning comes. They cannot run from it. Water will not stop it. It consumes everything in its path — yet the burned still speak.

The Doctor is just looking for a game on the famous Lewis chess set. Instead he encounters a people under attack from a power they cannot possibly understand. They have no weapons, no strategy and no protection against a fire sent to engulf them all.

Add in some marauding Vikings with very bad timing, a kidnapped princess with a secret of her own and a TARDIS that seems to have developed an inexplicable fear of water, and they all have a battle on their hands. The islanders must take on a ruthless alien force in a world without technology; without communications; without tea that isn't made out of bark. Still at least they have the Doctor on their side… Don't they?"

Why it's Desolation: Living fire that kills people to turn them into fire zombies! Illusions of their dead loved ones to lure them into the fire's embrace! PAIN!

Full Tilt (Neal Shusterman) "Sixteen-year-old Blake and his younger brother, Quinn, are exact opposites. Blake is the responsible member of the family. He constantly has to keep an eye on the fearless Quinn, whose thrill-seeking sometimes goes too far. But the stakes get higher when Blake has to chase Quinn into a bizarre phantom carnival that traps its customers forever. In order to escape, Blake must survive seven deadly rides by dawn, each of which represents a deep, personal fear -- from a carousel of stampeding animals to a hall of mirrors that changes people into their deformed reflections. Blake ultimately has to face up to a horrible secret from his own past to save himself and his brother -- that is, if the carnival doesn't claim their souls first!"
