This week I'm reading Nora Roberts' latest book, Mind Games. It's so good. The excerpts are from the E-ARC.
Book Beginnings
For Thea, the very best part of summer started the second week of June.
From 56% on my e-reader
Tonight wasn't for quiet sleep, but for action.
Synopsis from Goodreads:
The #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Identity presents a suspenseful new novel of tragedy and trauma, love and family, and the evil that awaits.
As they do each June, the Foxes have driven the winding roads of Appalachia to drop off their children for a two-week stay at their grandmother’s. Here, twelve-year-old Thea can run free and breathe in the smells of pine and fresh bread and Grammie’s handmade candles. But as her parents head back to suburban Virginia, they have no idea they’re about to cross paths with a ticking time bomb.
Back in Kentucky, Thea and her grandmother Lucy both awaken from the same nightmare. And though the two have never discussed the special kind of sight they share, they know as soon as their tearful eyes meet that something terrible has happened.
The kids will be staying with Grammie now in Redbud Hollow, and thanks to Thea’s vision, their parents’ killer will spend his life in supermax. Over time, Thea will make friends, build a career, find love. But that ability to see into minds and souls still lurks within her, and though Grammie calls it a gift, it feels more like a curse―because the inmate who shattered her childhood has the same ability. Thea can hear his twisted thoughts and witness his evil acts from miles away. He knows it, and hungers for vengeance. A long, silent battle will be waged between them―and eventually bring them face to face, and head to head…
What do you think? What are you sharing today?
I am also loving this book!
ReplyDeleteI'm tired and should be in bed. I think tonight is a night for sleep. ;)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good book.
It sounds crazy but though I am a huge reader, I've never read a book by Nora Roberts!
ReplyDeleteI noticed that Mind Reader showed up on two different blogs for this Friday's Book Beginnings, and then I opened my Goodreads and there was an ad for it at the top of the page! Thriller isn't my favorite genre, but this sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteThat looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteThis one is popular right now! I am glad you are enjoying it so far, Yvonne! I haven't tried her books under her Nora Roberts name, but I do enjoy her J.D. Robb books. I will have to check this one out. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThese don't sound quite like games, but it does sound like a fascinating thriller.
ReplyDeleteI really loved this one! One of my favorite standalones from her.
