It was fast paced and interesting ( ) I had actually been looking forward to reading a book about mind-reading (if you know any good ones, let me know!) but sadly I was disappointed. The writing style wasn't descriptive enough for me to immerse myself in the story, and the main character just felt kind of annoying. It is a good idea though, I just wish it was executed better. This was my first read by Lori Brighton. I have mixed feelings on the book, but I believe most of my issues will resolve as the author finds her footing. She has amazing ideas and a lot of talent. Her first chapter hooked me right away and had me turning the pages. There were a few problems with character development. It wasn't terrible, but I would've liked to know more about these people outside of their mind reading abilities. It was difficult to connect with them and really become invested in their lives and feelings when I knew so little about them. The relationship between the main characters moved a little too quickly, but I'm going to contribute that to the YA genre and Cameron's inexperience. Despite her unique gift, she was a teenager with the typical "boomerang" emotions. I really loved the idea of mind reading and telekinesis. There were scenes that had me falling through the pages and other scenes that seemed to drag on and on. I'm still intrigued by the story and the closing chapter was another fantastic "hook" that convinced me to stick with the series. The author has grabbed onto a fantastic idea that I can see The Mind Readers expanding into a wonderfully entertaining series. As she hones her craft I'm sure we'll see improvement. The story is worth giving the book a chance. no reviews | add a review
