Enjoyed the concept, but had a really hard time with the writing and how it was delivered. Mind Games is told in both Annie and Fia's pov and we are connected to both the past and the present, but it didn't quite work in it's favor since it felt scattered and erratic. String of repetitive words and the tap-tap-tapping was also very distracting and frustrating. The characters were intriguing in their own ways, but Annie and Fia felt, at times, like they had the same voice and inner-dialog and were hard to distinguish one from the other.
Kiersten White's Paranormalcy trilogy was bright and entertaining as hell, while this book took on a more dark and dire feel overall.
This has a wonderful story that has so much potential to be amazing, but the way it was written felt like it was from a completely different author and sadly I couldn't love this the way I wanted to.

This does sound very interesting:)
Yup, I'm almost done actually. It's not a very long book. I wish I could say I'm liking it, but I'm struggling:(
Hmmmm Crystal gave this five stars, and you gave it two. Repetition is a peeve of mine, so now I'm not sure. :/
lol I'm not sure what to tell ya but I think this may have just been me. The concept and the characters I liked, it was just the writing that felt off.Good luck if you end up reading it hun:)
Okay, I just came from Crystal's review with five stars to your two. I think I will leave this one alone. I already have too many books to read. :)
LOL Me and Crystal seem to be confusing everyone with our stars. We usually agree lol so it's very strange o.o
