After years of being manipulated and controlled by the Keane Foundation, Annie has joined a group plotting to destroy the foundation from the outside, while Fia works with James Keane to bring his father down from within.

Review Quotes

"White offers readers many strong female characters to idolize or with whom to identify." - Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)

"Mind Games is a thriller of the best sort, one with many characters vying to have things their way, who will go as far as they need to get what they want--and a protagonist who will go even further. A brutal, exciting gem of a book." - Holly Black, New York Times bestselling author

"A visceral thriller. White effectively captures Fia's unpredictable, moment-to-moment existence, while Annie's narrative is grounded but emotionally complex. White's world building is as intriguing as her characters, making this a must-read series opener." - Booklist

"From the high-impact opening, White hurdles her story forward. A fast-paced, gripping plot, and genuinely interesting characters. White's many fans will not be disappointed, and she is sure to gain many more." - Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)

"White makes skillful use of temporal shifts in constructing her suspenseful plot." - Kirkus Reviews

"Suspenseful and smart." - Booklist

"You might think you know Kiersten White, but here is a darker, more dangerous Kiersten White. Mind Games is a sharp, heart-wrenching, lightning-fast, and fabulously fun read in which twining narratives weave a trap around two extraordinary sisters. Take notes from Fia on how to deal with eavesdropping mind-readers; she may be the angriest narrator I've ever loved. I bet you will too." - Laini Taylor, author of Daughter of Smoke & Bone and National Book Award finalist Lips Touch: Three Times

PRAISE FOR MIND GAMES: "A tour de force of perspective and unreliability. The combination of supernatural abilities, clandestine organizations, sharply witty dialogue, and a supremely skilled heroine will be familiar to readers of White's Paranormalcy books, but this story is very much its own." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Brilliant in both character development and narrative structure, this is a psychological thriller that will challenge readers even as it speeds them through the pages." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review)
