Book description
Mind Games: Where Psychic Powers Meet Boarding School Drama
Kiersten White takes the tired old formula of "special teens with special powers" and injects it with enough caffeine to make it dance. Mind Games follows Fia and Annie, sisters so close they'd probably share a toothbrush if society allowed it. Annie sees the future but can't see her lunch tray, while Fia's intuition is so spot-on she could probably pick winning lottery tickets in her sleep.
Things get delightfully sinister when these psychic siblings enroll at the Keane Institute, which sounds about as trustworthy as a used car salesman in a three-piece suit. Turns out this isn't your typical boarding school experience - more like a crash course in corporate espionage with homework. Fia becomes the school's human cheat sheet, using her supernatural instincts to predict stock markets and presumably win at poker against unsuspecting faculty members.
The real fun begins when Fia realizes she's less student, more indentured servant. The school's got her sister's life as collateral, which adds just the right amount of moral complexity to what could have been another teenage power fantasy. Throw in a mysterious boy with his own bag of dark secrets, and you've got yourself a recipe for teenage rebellion that doesn't rely entirely on slamming doors and angsty monologues.
White's writing crackles with the kind of energy that makes you forget you're listening to someone else's voice in your earbuds. The audiobook format actually works perfectly here - you get to experience Fia's intuitive flashes and Annie's prophetic visions through the intimate medium of spoken word, which somehow makes the whole psychic thing feel less like fantasy and more like you're in on the secret.
This isn't just another YA novel wearing sunglasses indoors. It's got genuine stakes, characters who make you care whether they live or die, and enough plot twists to keep your commute interesting. The best part? No vampires, werewolves, or love triangles involving supernatural creatures. Just good old-fashioned mind powers and moral dilemmas, served with a side of teenage attitude.
