Review: great book! - I loved this book! I randomly started reading it, and then I got completely sucked in and wouldn't stop talking about it :) I definitely plan on reading the sequel. It reminded me a lot of the movie Push, which I love - gritty, supernatural powers, trying to stay a step ahead of Seers on the other side. I'm not always a fan of alternating POV with each chapter, often because the different voices sound too similar so you can't easily tell who it is - definitely not the case in Mind Games. Each sister had a very unique voice, and I actually loved Fia's stream of consciousness, though I can understand some people could find it annoying. I believe it was a perfect way to exemplify her ability - not thinking ahead, simply reacting, a glimpse of her raw power and why she behaves in certain ways. In comparison, Annie, who being blind and a Seer is mostly stuck in her thoughts, was much calmer and planned ahead. Both sisters were interesting, and both flawed which makes for good characters. Most of the side characters were not very fleshed out though, very one-dimensional. The plot was fairly predictable, with a couple small twists. The chapters alternated between each sister as well and the present and past. Often chapter flashbacks like that can be irritating, distracting from the current events. In this story, it really worked. Just like each sister could only see part of what was going on, and each new event made their visions or decisions clearer, so the flashbacks worked for the reader. The flashbacks slowly revealed how each sister, especially Fia, got to where she did, and explained their behaviors. I enjoyed both past and present thoroughly. Also, to note, no spelling issues. Yay! (Some grammar oddities were on purpose for Fia's stream of consciousness narration.)
Review: Very exciting, very good, will want the next one - ~4(4.5)/5 [Also available on my blog.] A lot of people (at least, a lot of my friends/follows on Goodreads) have not really enjoyed this book. At first, that made me a little wary, even if I was still sure I would enjoy it at least somewhat. But then I realized that most of the people who didn’t like this book, also didn’t like the Paranormalcy series, and thus just wasn't a fan of Kiersten White, and that reassured me a whole lot, because I really liked that series and I love White. I’d had this book on my list, but wasn’t sure if I was going to get it soon, but then found out than White was going to be having a book signing near me, and thus I had to get it. And I’m really glad that I not only pre-ordered it, but I also read it before going to the signing. Because I really liked this book. Like, a lot. Sofia (also known as Fia) has perfect instincts and Annie is blind but can see the future. After their parents’ death, they moved into this boarding school, where Annie is learning how to control her power, and Fia is being used to kill people. Then there’s Adam, the good, genius boy who doesn’t quite understand, and James, who’s trying to secretly get a hold on things while his father is trying to use him. This story is told in alternating points of view, from Fia to Annie, as well as going back and forth from the present to the past. I love it when stories do both of these things—have flashbacks and alternating points of view—so I was excited about this, and I thought it was done really well. I’ve also heard people online say that it was hard to follow, which I didn’t quite understand, because every chapter is clearly labeled. Did they read an ARC of the book, and it wasn’t clearly labeled in those? I think that both characters had a definite voice, a different pattern of thinking, and I liked that. Annie is rather clear headed, while Fia is fast and repetitive and run-on sentence-like, and the styles work really well for their character. Annie is somewhat labeled as the good girl, which she was in the past, but I didn’t really think of her like that in the present. I honestly think that she could get quite underhanded and devious, in a mastermind kind of way, even if she’s not quite there yet. Fia, on the other hand, is damaged and broken and impulsive and wants to take down the people that are making her do this. I preferred Fia, all the way. Her chapters had more action, was more interesting, and I just liked her personality more. I didn’t enjoy Annie’s as much, but they always ended up being very interesting, and they gave the inside information that was needed at times. The reader needed to see what was happening on both sides, and that was done really well. The love interests: Adam and James. I like Adam, and I’m wary of James, but I kind of like James more. Adam is the naïve one, new to what is happening, and he’s tall and a genius. He’s sweet. And usually the one that I’d prefer. But James is the one that’s working in the system, that’s trying to underhand his father, and while I think that he should have done something more by now, and I do think he has the potential to turn really bad, I like him. I find him more interesting and I’m looking forward to finding out more about him. At the beginning of the book, I was all set to really dislike him, too, but then we saw him in a flashback and my feelings changed. Don't get me wrong, though, I do like Adam as well. Just, not as much, I don't think. It seems like they’re both liking Fia, but I feel like Adam might develop feelings for Annie. I’m not sure how I feel about Adam and Annie being together, mostly because I feel like Annie’s going to turn darker, but I am really leaning toward the side of Fia and James. I can see the potential of Fia and Adam, but at the moment I like her and James more. Now, the bad guy. We didn’t get to see much of him in this book, just glimpses and hints, and while I know I’m not going to like him, I’m looking forward to finding out more about him. There are a lot of other people within the system that are not-very-good as well, and I’m interested to see what side each of them is going to be on, and what they’re going to do. There were several moments in this book that I didn’t really see happening, including a couple of deaths, and that really helped excite the book. One of those moments included the ending. It wasn’t expected, and confused me, but now I see what’s happening, and I’m really excited for the next book. It seems like the story is just getting started, and I really want to know what happens next. This was a really fast read, especially since it’s rather short, and it’s really exciting. At this point, I just really want the next book, and am upset that I have to wait about a year for it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by S***M on May 24, 2013*

I really enjoyed reading "Mind Games" and I'm really looking forward to the next installmente in the series. I really like Fia because she is a strong character and she can handle herself in various occasions. On the contrary I kind of dislike Annie for his meddling in other people's life. The love story is a bit confusing to tell the truth and at the end of the book I was left a bit disappointed by the way the story end abruptly because I think that the it's a bit weak to stand by itself. I know it seems that I'm contradicting myself by saying this, but the book is really slim and so fast to read that really it shouldn't have been divided in installments. Anyway, really looking forward to see how it ends.
