Review: Mind Games by Nancy Mehl


Hey all, I am alive (barely, but you knowww)!

And I am here with the review I told you about.


Book synopsis  (from goodreads):

 Kaely Quinn's talents as an FBI behavior analyst are impossible to ignore, no matter how unorthodox her methods. But when a reporter outs her as the daughter of an infamous serial killer, she's demoted to field agent and transferred to St. Louis.

When the same reporter who ruined her career claims to have received an anonymous poem predicting a string of murders, ending with Kaely's, the reporter's ulterior motives bring his claim into question. But when a body is found that fits the poem's predictions, the threat is undeniable, and the FBI sends Special Agent Noah Hunter to St. Louis.

Initially resentful of the assignment, Noah is surprised at how quickly his respect for Kaely grows, despite her oddities. But with a brazen serial killer who breaks all the normal patterns on the loose, Noah and Kaely are tested to their limits to catch the murderer before anyone else--including Kaely herself--is killed.

When I started Mind Games I expected it to be another cliche romance/crime book, I was wrong.

There is barely any romance, which made me really happy.

This book started out a bit slow, but towards the middle it really sped up, and I felt like it never quite found the happy medium?? Don't get me wrong, it was good, I probably will re-read it in the future, but I felt like I never got to know the characters like I wanted to. Kaely remained mysterious even towards the end and I wish the book had focused a bit more on her *highlight to view slight spolier*imaginary friends/was she schizophrenic?*spoiler*

Otherwise, this book was a rollercoaster and I highly enjoyed it!


Rating: four and a half stars

Have you read this book?
Thank you, Bethany House for sending me this book!


Sorry for being even more inactive, guys.
I've been dealing with a lot of muck recently in a very personal place, a place I've considered a second home has recently become very toxic, and I haven't been doing well. But I'll be okay.

Happy writing, Merry Christmas and happy holidays,

We Need Ratings for Books

Image
Guys, I wish books had ratings like movies did. Now, I can see someone commenting down below something along the lines of, " But Graayyyyy , they do have ratings!! You have jfict books written for twelve and below, YA written for teens, and NA written for a more college-aged audience, and then just Adult fiction written for, well, either advanced readers or older readerssssssssssss!!!!" But the thing is, one can go to blockbuster (okay, maybe not anymore, but I have to bring back that nostalgia *sighs* the good old days that weren't actually that good but I remember them in a golden filter for some reason), ANYWAYS , people could go to a certain section of the genre of the type of movie they wanted to see, but every movie in that genre also has a  s e p a r a t e   rating. For example, if I go to the horror section and pick up Signs , I can turn it to the back and see that it is rated PG-13 for some more intense moments. Then if I pick up let's say Along Came a...

Review: The Girl Who Could See by Kara Swanson

    This is actually my second book review done on this blog, and unlike my review of The Hate U Give, it’s not controversial! Yay!!   Note: All photos in this post are mine, please ask before using them. <3                                                 (from goodreads): All her life Fern has been told she is blind to reality—but what if she is the only one who can truly see? Fern Johnson is crazy. At least, that’s what the doctors have claimed since her childhood. Now nineteen, and one step away from a psych ward, Fern struggles to survive in bustling Los Angeles. Desperate to appear “normal,” she represses the young man flickering at the edge of her awareness—a blond warrior only she can see. Tristan was Fern’s childhood imaginary hero, s...
