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)
