Mind Games Kiersten White Books

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.)

Mind Games Kiersten White Books Reviews

I really liked Kiersten's Paranormalcy series, so I had high expectations for Mind Games. I was so glad that this did not disappoint. I read it in one night. It did help that it was a shorter read, at least compared to all the 500 plus paged books out there these days.

The whole premise was very creative and I thought well executed. I've read some books that had individuals who could see the future, read the cards, or dream events, but never a story like this one. The opening scene immediately drew me in and basically from that point forward I was hooked. It was definitely intense and I just never knew when all the cards were going to fall down.

I really liked the characters. Annie did annoy me at some points because I just wanted her to open her eyes and notice what was going on. To me she felt so selfish in the beginning, but she was still a great character and I could see why she acted as she did. Fia is amazing! She was so young when they were taken in by the "school," yet she survived and turned out to be very smart and fierce. I really felt for her situation and her desire to protect her sister at all costs. Then there are the two men in Fia's life. I liked each in their own ways, but one of them I don't know if Fia can really trust.

This book really upset me in parts! Poor Fia is so abused and does some really tough things that eat away at her that she didn't even know she was doing or meant to do. I mean how could the head of the "school" abuse children like this and how could some of these people not see how wrong things were when they grew up. The effects are just terrible. I'm hoping that Fia does some serious damage in the next book.

If you're looking for an intense SciFi with some great characters and writing, I would definitely pick this up.

Content Some violence and innuendo.
After their parents’ death, Fia and Annie were first taken in by their aunt, until a school came with a very tempting offer to Annie. Blind, Annie could only see when she had visions, and the first she had was of their parents crashing their car and dying. This is how the mysterious school found out about her, but they are soon even more interested by Fia, who is adamant Annie shouldn’t move in and start her education. The atmosphere was no good, and Fia’s instincts make her valuable in ways she cannot begin to imagine. Mind Games is chilling from the start, and the fact that they are being played with is apparent straight away.

When they have been in school for a while, Annie, too realizes this is not a good place to be, especially when Fia has to start training in ways neither of them can completely comprehend. One day when their class is on a field trip, Fia is told to leave a little package in a woman’s bag and then leave. Mind Games ups the ante from there on, as the package contains a bomb, and Fia understands that she is a part of something very ominous.

Mind Games continues with Fia wanting to escape, but because she has been sent to kill a young man, everything has to be put on hold. She also doesn’t want to leave her sister behind, but she finds she is unable to kill Adam, and thinks that everything will be lost. She has to continue her life with her no planning policy, so that the mind readers and the future seers cannot see what she is up to, ever. And to save her sister, she is willing to go very far.

Never knowing whom they can trust, Annie and Fia can rely only on each other. Mind Games depicts a complicated world, with a very mean man in power of the school where children with different talents end up to further his very personal agenda for more power, more money, and more children. The writing is mostly in Fia’s point of view, both in the present and in the past, and she is a very intricate character to follow. We also get some parts from Annie’s point of view, and this is when we realize how much guilt she is dealing with for getting Fia into this school she thought would save them both – when in reality they are only pawns in Keane’s game.

If you enjoy paranormal with a dystopian twist, you should pick up Mind Games and delve into this dark world where the adults have no qualms at using children and teenagers to have power, and keep their own family and loved ones safe.
