Isn’t life a mind game? Give and take, ups and downs, doubts and beliefs, tides and rifts. With a twist of fate and destiny taking your hand, what we do with the given is entirely up to us. 

A happy and content family, the Foxes lead a successful life with their children and like every year, their annual trip to visit Grammie Lucy is the highlight of their lives. But this year, fate has other plans for this happy  family, gripping them in a turmoil of “Mind Games” that forever will change their lives. 

I don’t even know where to start with a review, because this is one of those stories that is a compulsory read, to journey with Thea and her brother Rem, as they learn to navigate a life without their parents, for Thea to come to terms with her vision, and build a future for themselves along with their Grammie Lucy.

The entire time I was reading the story, I was waiting for the other shoe to fall. I forget for a second that this is Nora Robert’s plot and never does she give us the ordinary, and there’s a reason she’s a topnotch writer! The characters are created with extreme care and thought, their characters developed with great thought as they age through life, and the ancillary characters were well placed with care. The antagonist of the story is a masterful creation and giving him the vision made him a worthy adversary when the time comes for Thea to put an end to his mind games.

To understand the relationship of the Foxes, Grammie Lucy and the aftermath of the tragedy, the consequences of having a special gift, and the courage to accept and live  a full life, “Mind Games” will give the readers an insight into these wonderful characters. A must read book!!
