In short, there is no one like Nora Roberts. Her books are filled with characters that take on a life of their own. And in MIND GAMES Nora Roberts outdoes herself. From start to finish this story has you hooked. It’s the little aside references that get me every time. A song, an event, a link between characters. MIND GAMES is just a masterpiece.

One of the lead characters Thea and her brother Rem tragically lost their parents. The event is written concisely and detailed at the start of this story. It is life-altering for many folks and that is just the beginning of a saga of life, challenges, and revenge. Thea is a software genius, her forte is gaming. Her ideas come from dreams but her life itself is ripe with ongoing nightmares that she fights to keep in the background. Thea shares an inborn talent of sorts with Grandma Lucy. They see things, they are sensitive. A curse and a blessing you might say.

Lucy has brought up both Thea and Rem. This trio is tight. And the love between them is palatable. Another nod toward Nora Roberts.

MIND GAMES is a sort of adventure tale much like Thea’s games. In this case, we are the audience to their lives which are filled with wonders and worries. In the end, it’s how you manage these passages in your life. Kind of like the challenges inserted in a game. Watch out for pitfalls. Make good decisions. And most importantly never back down, remain strong.

Oh so very clever. That is what will surely pop into your mind frequently while reading MIND GAMES. Nora Roberts pulled out all the stops and dug deep into her creative mind to come up with this larger-than-life tale about games and life and love and trust. Well, the list goes on never-ending which is how you will feel when you get to the last page. More, more I want more. That’s Nora Roberts for you.

This is a difficult review to write since I would be terribly remiss giving away much of the plot. It’s for the reader to unfold. Suffice it to say, MIND GAMES is a true page-turning gem penned by the awesome Nora Roberts. Put this one on your must-read list.
