Mind Games heroine Justine Jones isn't your typical kick-ass type - she’s a hopeless hypochondriac whose life is run by fear.
She's lured into a restaurant, Mongolian Delites, by tortured mastermind Sterling Packard, who promises he can teach her to channel her fears. In exchange, she must join his team of disillusionists - vigilantes hired by crime victims to zing their anxieties into criminals, resulting in collapse and transformation.
Justine isn't interested in Packard's troupe until she gets a taste of the peace he can promise. Soon she enters the thrilling world of neurotic crime fighters who battle Midcity’s depraved and paranormal criminals.
Eventually, though, she starts wondering why Packard hasn’t set foot outside the Mongolian Delites restaurant for eight years. And about the true nature of the disillusionists
And check out the contest she has running on her blog You can win a fancy dinner
I have this one sitting on my couch, but I'm afraid to start it until Friday, because I've heard it'll keep me up past my bedtime!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of this one but I love the title and summary, thank you.
ReplyDeleteLOL @ Chris's comment!
ReplyDeleteYayayay it is finally out!
Wanted to pop over ~ Hi hon!
Been hearing a lot about this book, gonna have to get it soon!
ReplyDeleteChris
ReplyDeleteOh no, danger danger! Books that keep you up past your bedtime are just pure evil, they should all be sent to ME, so I can keep my eye on them ;)
MarceJ
There are some great reviews out there for it
Cecile,

Must pop on over to your place again
Hej Hilda

A little Swedish for my fav Swedish learning blogger.

ReplyDeleteChris
ReplyDeleteIt is for your own good, it's a wicked little book, the stealer of sleep.
VFG
I know, it sounds great :D
Brizmus
I am so very curious about it
This sounds really good!! I will have to get my hands on it! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteKeeping my fingers corssed and throws some lucky stars in the air...perhaps I will win this book in a contest, otherwise it will be ordered next month :) Everybody is telling via their review it's such a fresh and original UF...you know I have to find this out for myself now :)
ReplyDeleteHmm. I think you're being sneaky.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome krista! Gotta spread the good word.
ReplyDeleteLeontine
I so want to try it cos of that, fresh and original, so tempting.
Yes contests, you and me both *fingers crossed*
Chris
*gasps in utter horror*
I take offense that you imply that I somehow would try to "trick" you into giving me this book. I never!
I am only thinking of you, yes you
*coughs*
Hm why are my pants on fire
I rest my case.
ReplyDeleteThis one sounds very interesting!!
ReplyDeleteChris
ReplyDeleteYes, I might have tried to trick you. I am shameless ;)
Staci
It sure does :)
Psssst! Um Chris, do not listen to Blodeuedd over there but send the book to me. I can stay up all night and read it and do not mind feeling like a drunk the next day or so!!!! I will not even try to "keep" it but will send it right back via magic fairy flying carpet... Wait, that really did not get typed, pay no attention think I already stayed up reading Sins Of The FLesh too late last night and am already drunk from lack of sleep!!!
ReplyDeleteOn a serious note though, the book has gotten such wonderful reviews it is going to be in my hands as soon as the weekend rolls around because the nearest bookstore to me that will have it on a shelf is a 100 mile round trip!

*clutches book to chest*
ReplyDeleteJackie
ReplyDeleteOh no are you trying to trick Chris too, noooooooooooooo ;)
I knwo those reviews are drawing me in. But yikes that would be one long trip for me...hm I wonder which country I would have to visit to get it ;)
Chris
ReplyDeleteHm so weird, this showed up first now...
Better hide that book ;)
I still may trick her, Blodeuedd. All have to do is wait till she falls asleep and that book clutched to her chest will be vanished by my genie in a puff of smoke and carted on the flying carpet over to my waiting hands!!
ReplyDeleteOf course on the way it is going to get rained on, snowed on and who knows what else!!! :-)
Chris consider yourself under seige, sweetie we want you to hand over the book peacefully!!!
jackie b central texas
D'oh! I commented on the wrong window - delete the comment I just left.... I'll leave an appropriate comment in a moment.
ReplyDeleteThe kitties would get any old genie before it could do anything. Ha!
ReplyDeleteChris the genie would bring catnip and dangly toys and fish and exchange them for the book, you can bet the kitties would never be able to resist that....
ReplyDeletejackie b central texas
Chaos could! He hates anyone other than me and won't take treats or toys from them.
ReplyDelete*sneaks into her house while she is arguing with Jackie*
ReplyDeleteBook, where are you? I am here to save you. I worked hard on my astral projection
Oh, Blodeuedd, watch out for Chaos!! He's a guard kitty. I believe that it was Ms Crane who asked if he was going to rip off her face if she made a misstep...
ReplyDeleteOkay now that was just bad karma, sneaking into the house while Chris is occupied with me and stealing the book from under both our noses. You win Blodeuedd, you are sneakier than me and my genie... (Hey Chaos sic em) :-)
ReplyDeletejackie b central texas
What, rip my face off?! Oh no! back in to my body astral self!!
ReplyDeleteIf I can't read then the book will not be worth it.
jackie
Hehe I am a sneaky little devil, but I fear we both loose. Chaos is too clever for us
On that note we gracefully admit defeat, foiled by a mere kitty cat with razor sharp claws and an attitude!! :) Been fun chickies but am off to play another day!!
ReplyDeletejackie b central texas
Lol, thanks for playing Jackie :)
ReplyDeleteI bow down before Chaos the Mighty
LOL! What is happening here!! A genie and astral projection will not defeat Chaos, who is very fierce.
ReplyDeleteJackie: Nearest bookstore 100 miles! Yikes!
And Ms Crane would know, yes, yes, she would, as she has been personally menaced by Chaos. Fifteen pounds of crabby black kitty - intimidating!
ReplyDeleteAlso, Blodeuedd!!! Thanks for making this post! And, I loved your OCD idea over at BkSmug! I do wish I'd used it!!
ReplyDeleteI better just stay away, Chaos is one dangerous kitty! There are people still alive to tell the tall.
ReplyDeleteCarolyn,
You're welcome :D
Lol, glad you liked the idea I had over there
