Mind Games by Kiersten White


Mind Games (Mind Games, #1)Mind Games

Fia was born with flawless instincts. Her first impulse, her gut feeling, is always exactly right. Her sister, Annie, is blind to the world around her—except when her mind is gripped by strange visions of the future.

Trapped in a school that uses girls with extraordinary powers as tools for corporate espionage, Annie and Fia are forced to choose over and over between using their abilities in twisted, unthinkable ways…or risking each other’s lives by refusing to obey.

In a stunning departure from her New York Times bestselling Paranormalcy trilogy, Kiersten White delivers a slick, edgy, heartstoppingly intense psychological thriller about two sisters determined to protect each other—no matter the cost.

Gripping! Fabulous! Heart rending! I loved White's last series and was fascinated to discover how different this one was. I think I prefer the lightness of Paranormalcy, etc., this one was much grittier but still a speed-through-to-the-end kind of book. Fia is a completely different person than Evie - much darker and damaged by her past. The ending was superb and I look forward to the next one.

fairly violent, the kind of book that has some but skimming through later I didn't see any - so maybe? I know, so helpful. Pretty racy but no sex

Mom note: As a mother of readers, I also want to make a note to myself (and others if they care) why I would or would not have my children read this book, because honestly, sometimes I forget. This is a YA book, so everything is within YA strictures. Violence: moderately heavy; Profanity: I wouldn't be surprised, but I didn't notice any and a later skim through didn't find any. So, maybe not? I know, so helpful. dont' think so? Sex: pretty racy but no sex
