Özet

Justine knows she's going to die. Any second now.

Justine Jones has a secret. A hardcore hypochondriac, she’s convinced a blood vessel is about to burst in her brain. Then, out of the blue, a startlingly handsome man named Packard peers into Justine’s soul and invites her to join his private crime-fighting team. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime deal.

With a little of Packard’s hands-on training, Justine can weaponize her neurosis, turning it outward on Midcity’s worst criminals, and finally get the freedom from fear she’s always craved. End of problem. Or is it?

In Midcity, a dashing police chief is fighting a unique breed of outlaw with more than human powers. And while Justine’s first missions, including one against a nymphomaniac husband-killer, are thrilling successes, there is more to Packard than meets the eye. Soon, while battling her attraction to two very different men, Justine is plunging deeper into a world of wizardry, eroticism, and cosmic secrets. With Packard’s help, Justine has freed herself from her madness - only to discover a reality more frightening than anyone’s worst fears.

Eleştirmen yorumları

"Mind Games is a violent U-Turn in a fresh direction, signaling the dynamic and welcome arrival of both Carolyn Crane and the most unique urban fantasy heroine I’ve seen on page in a long while, Justine Jones. And like Justine, Midcity is brightly imagined, beautifully dangerous, and perfectly flawed. Flashy and stylish, this is urban fantasy’s new shot-in-the-arm." (Vicki Pettersson, The New York Times)

I don’t think I have read a book like this before & it was such a brilliant change of pace for me, I loved the insight into Justine’s head & learning about the other people & near the end was great as well, but I will not say more as I would give to much information if I did.
A great listen/read

predictable but great fun. Had no idea it was a 'steamy' novel though lol... beware where you listen, it gets pretty raunchy!

Good fun

Loved all three of these books. The story was a bit slow to start in Book One - Mind Games, but then as the story evolved I became hooked and couldn't stop listening. Each of the books build on one another but are entire stories in their own right so can be treated as stand alone stories too. The premise is original and brought the listener into the confusion experienced by the main character.
The four stars for performance are because I found the voice used to narrate one of the characters a bit grating. However, that is only personal preference and it didn't detract from the story as a whole. I recommend all three books.

Excellent three book series

I adored this trilogy, my favourite fantasy of its type.



The premise is tenuous, but unusual enough that I didn't mind. A woman with massive, crippling health anxiety is recruited to join a band of vigilantes (or, "reverse emotional vampires" according to Simon) who, taught by their enigmatic leader, channel their destructive emotions into criminals, working as a team to disillusion the target. Essentially, they are hired as a psychological hit squad, to mentally break a target. In reality, this would probably just cause massive longterm psychological damage, but in Mind Games this process causes the target to 'reboot' back to factory settings, filled with newfound empathy for their victims and remorse for their criminal behaviour. That's the tenuous part.



It's more superhero fantasy than magic fantasy, as the other fantasy element is "highcap" high capacity humans; humans with mutated mental powers beyond the norm. Telepaths, telekinetics, dream-invaders, and the like. There are some new ideas I haven't seen before in the genre, unusual powers which have some fun, inventive applications.



I think the reason I liked this it so much, though, was because I identified so strongly with the heroine. I suffer from social anxiety rather than health anxiety, but I felt that the subject was treated seriously and handled sensitively, and I found myself really liking the heroine.



She really struck me as a realistic person, instead of the kicking-ass-and-taking-names alpha-bitch type heroine in so many books of this genre. It's written in 1st person and Justine has a very strong voice in the prose, and her wry sense of humour as well as mad panic is conveyed absolutely perfectly by Wisocky, who captures the voice and keeps up with the book's fast pace.



The whole trilogy is a perfect meeting of great book and great audio performance. Absolutely worth five stars.

Wonderfully entertaining, original & witty.

Really enjoyed this reading - great narration, fun characters and plot line. Not too frothy either… I enjoyed the narrator’s v evident sense of humour and I’m looking forward to the sequels. An easy, light-hearted and entertaining book.

Loved it!
