![]() ![]() ![]() What did you love best about Pushing the Limits? I would definitely recommend this book to both adults and young adults, as it combined a sufficiently realistic high school feel with mystery (what happened to Echo), heart wrenching drama (Noah's need for his family) and flashes of humor as the story unfolded.Īn Emotional Rollercoaster Ride - Great Story! ![]() The soothing, yet angsty timbre of his voice was a perfect complement to Tara Sand's Echo. MacLeod Andrews never disappoints when voicing young, male characters and his portrayal of Noah was sufficiently sexy yet vulnerable and even had me wiping away a tear at the end. She sounded a lot like Kat Denning to me. There were times I found Tara Sand's voice a bit grating at times, but her pacing and emotion would soon sink me back into the story. The back and forth narration format allowed me to connect strongly with both Echo and Noah, and watching them help and heal each other in the context of their family issues was satisfying. Touching teen romance with suspenseful dramaĪs a mother of teenagers I like to read young adult novels, and Pushing the Limits kept me riveted and I thoroughly enjoyed the entire book, couldn't put it down. ![]()

The Recoil settings include Spread, Recoil settings, and an activation button. (Tip: set the Aimkey to "Left Mouse Button") On the whole, I find this Aimbot perfect. The Aimbot works with Smooth and includes as many settings that are very clear, from Crircle (the area in which the Aimbot is triggered visualized), distance setting and the Smoothness settings themselves, as well as Hitbox settings. So for a legitimate application, the ESP is perfect and there are no objections. The ESP includes many settings that are very helpful from the name to distance settings and life ads. ![]() |
