REVIEW: Mind Games by Kiersten White

Fia and Annie are as close as two sisters can be. They look out for each other. Protect each other. And most importantly, they keep each other's secrets, even the most dangerous ones: Annie is blind, but can see visions of the future; Fia was born with flawless intuition—her first impulse is always exactly right.

When the sisters are offered a place at an elite boarding school, Fia realizes that something is wrong . . . but she doesn't grasp just how wrong. The Keane Institute is no ordinary school, and Fia is soon used for everything from picking stocks to planting bombs. If she tries to refuse, they threaten her with Annie's life.

Now Fia's falling in love with a boy who has dark secrets of his own. And with his help, she's ready to fight back. They stole her past. They control her present. But she won't let them take her future.

While I LOVED Paranormalcy, I didn't quite like this book as much.
My first problem, is how serious this book is. I realize that Paranormalcy has some serious aspects but Paranormalcy has some comic relief which helps. This book had no comic relief.

The 2nd thing is that it could get confusing. 
Not only are the chapters alternating between sisters but you also get flashbacks.
I liked knowing how the sisters got to be where they are but the flashbacks make it difficult to tell where you are in the story.

Now onto the things I liked.
The voice of the sisters. 
While I didn't exactly like the sisters, you can definitely tell whose voice is whose when you start a chapter (without reading the name at the top). And this is a great thing in the book! You get bored if you can't distinguish whose voice is whose!
I also loved how the sisters still love each other even after what they might have done and that they have basically been living through hell.
And finally, I liked the idea of the story.
While it might sound controversial for me to say that I liked that this book was about assassins (since I didn't like the seriuosness), this was a major reason to why I picked the book up in the first place.


In Conclusion: 
My feelings for this book is kind of in the middle.
There were things I liked and things I didn't like.
But if you don't mind the things I didn't like about this book, you might as well pick it up and read it.

I hereby give this book

3 Wheels

Meaning: I liked it but it's one Wheel away from being amazing.

Waiting on Wednesday: Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, where you talk about whatever book you are IMPATIENTLY WAITING for!

This week I am waiting for...

Goodreads Description:

Danger intensifies for the Shadowhunters as the New York Timesbestselling Infernal Devices trilogy comes to a close.

If the only way to save the world was to destroy what you loved most, would you do it?

The clock is ticking. Everyone must choose.

Passion. Power. Secrets. Enchantment.

Danger closes in around the Shadowhunters in the final installment of the bestselling Infernal Devices trilogy.

I am really surprised that I have not mentioned Clockwork Princess yet!

This is the book that I have been obsessing over for more than a year!!

AND IT COMES OUT IN 13 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Top Ten Tuesday-Top Ten Series I'd Like To Start But Haven't Yet

Hosted each week by The Broke and the Bookish, it's a meme for basically listing the top ten for everything bookish.

Since my Unknown blog seems to be abandoned, i'm filling it up!

This is one way! (This meme seems fun AND it fills up my blog!)

So here's my Top Ten (in no order):

1. White Cat by Holly Black

2.Hereafter by Tara Hudson

3.Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini

4. Eve by Anna Carey

5. Wake by Amanda Hocking

6.Whispers in Autumn by Trisha Leigh

7. Thirst by Christopher Pike

8.The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan

9. The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan

10.Ashes by Ilsa J. Bick

These aren't really HIGH on my TBR list but I seem to hear a lot of people talking about them...

To tell the truth, it was hard discovering books to put on this list.

I've read MOST of the popular books and most of my TBR list is made up of "next-in-the-series-books"

Any books that I should put on the top of my TBR Pile?
