About this book

Book Summary

Two sisters, bound by impossible choices, are determined to protect each other—no matter the cost.

James's frozen face melts into a smile. "Do you want to know the trick to getting in trouble under the watchful eye of a psychic?"

I think of the nailed-shut windows. I think of Clarice. I think of the two, the two, the two who are now zero. Tap tap. "Yes, I absolutely do."

"Don't plan it. Don't even think about it. The second you get an inkling of what you could do, do it then. Never plan anything ahead of time. Always go on pure instinct."

I smile. "I think I can do that."

Media Reviews

"Starred Review. Fans who love Evie's signature style of butt-kicking, wise-cracking, headlong rushing into trouble, neatly mixed with her addiction to all things romantic and girly, will embrace every nerve-wracking moment. A sparkly gift tied-up with a pretty pink bow." - VOYA

"A visceral thriller...White's world building is as intriguing as her characters, making this a must-read series opener." - Booklist

"An effective paranormal thriller, even in this crowded market." - Kirkus Reviews

Mind Games
So thrilling. I love that you get to hear the story from both sisters point of views and the end is so unexpected and a shock. Don't however read if the idea, or thought, of death scares you. Otherwise 1 million stars!!!
