Readers, Feelers and Seers oh my. Mind Games by Kiersten White kind of just starts in the middle and keeps on going. We see Sophia, Fia for short, on a mission to kill Adam. She doesn't know why but she knows that if she doesn't then 'they' will kill Annie, her sister, and Fia must protect her sister.
The book alternates between the present and the past. We find out slowly and in pieces how Annie and her sister have come to this point in their lives. The school that they attend "isn't a school so much as a testing ground for psychic talent. Only girls, too... for whatever reason, boys can't do any of these things." We learn how Fia has been trained to steal bank account information from CEOs and to blackmail judges. Their mysterious boss is well mysterious and is paranoid but that "probably comes with the territory when you have US senators killed."
At first, I thought that Fia was an attempt by White to reinvent Evie from the Paranormalcy trilogy but 30 pages in and you realize that the two are very different. Yet both are very strong female characters that kick butt. :) Although, Fia is a whole lot of crazy but a kind of crazy that I like.
I am a slow reader, so when I say that this was a quick and easy read, it really was. This book was not life changing but it was fun and entertaining. The plot moves quickly and normally I don't like the back and forth between present and past but it works here. A good lazy Sunday read.
