Wheel of Fate by A.K. Faulkner (Inheritance #10)

The wheel turns. Laurence figured he'd be planning his wedding as soon as he got home from the desert; instead he's pulled away from his fiancĂ© to track down Rufus' missing mom. Worse, the last person he'd ever want help from is on his side, and Laurence can't afford to say no. Surrounded by strands of fate that rapidly became a web, Laurence's only hope is to aim for the spider at its heart, but Vincent Harrow has been weaving it since before Laurence was born. ​​​​​​​Trapped between two evils, neither of which are lesser, Laurence is about to discover that there really are fates worse than death.

Animorphs Book 41: The Familiar by K. A. Applegate

Jake sees what happens to the future if he gets sloppy and/or gives up. It’s heart-wrenching, combining a grim visage with a small moment in a hidden garden. We also meet the Orr, an alien species I was looking forward to.

The interactions with each of the Animorphs are different blends of depressing, where this future glimpse shows Jake how completely he can fail if he messes up. The precarious nature of this scenario means its hard to know whether the stories he was told which then conflicted with his observations were because he was lied to for some reason or if some meddling occurred within the event.

There have been a lot of time-shenanigans recently, with this one feeling like a counterpoint to Megamorphs 4 (which looked at an alternate past instead of a possible future). I like them, I just had forgotten that they ramped up for a bit.
