Book Review: Mind Games

I recently read a new series by Kiersten White, called Mind Games...check it out!

Mind Games

Kiersten White

Goodreads summery:   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.

This was an interesting read--not quite what I expected, but not bad by any means.  The story switches back and forth between Annie and Fia, and jump back and forth in time to tell the story and fill in gaps.  At first, I thought this would bother me, that the timeline is all screwed up, but White uses this technique so you only find out parts of the story when you need to.  This may make the story confusing, but it adds to the plot line.

Of course there is a love story.  No surprise there, but at least you see James as the jerk he really is, and the relationship with Adam is subdued, subtle, not in your face make out sessions and declarations of love that no teen could understand in the first place.

This story messes with your brain, and you gotta keep up, but it's well worth the read!
