Happy Friday! Let's start my first blog of the new year off with a review and a giveaway! But first, have you thought about how many books you plan to read this year? I've signed up at the Goodreads Challenge for 52 books. Same amount as last year. And now onto my review.
Over the Christmas holidays, I read MIND GAMES by our very own Nancy Mehl. I am so excited about this new series. Before I tell you what I think about it, here's the back cover copy:
Kaely Quinn's talents as an FBI behavior analyst are impossible to ignore, no matter how unorthodox her methods. But when a reporter outs her as the daughter of an infamous serial killer, she's demoted to field agent and transferred to St. Louis.
When the same reporter who ruined her career claims to have received an anonymous poem predicting a string of murders, ending with Kaely's, the reporter's ulterior motives bring his claim into question. But when a body is found that fits the poem's predictions, the threat is undeniable, and the FBI sends Special Agent Noah Hunter to St. Louis.
Initially resentful of the assignment, Noah is surprised at how quickly his respect for Kaely grows, despite her oddities. But with a brazen serial killer who breaks all the normal patterns on the loose, Noah and Kaely are tested to their limits to catch the murderer before anyone else--including Kaely herself--is killed.
Now for my thoughts:
Nancy had me on the edge of my chair from the get-go. I loved the way she opened the book with Kaley Quinn interviewing a fantasy but very real serial killer. There are so many twists and turns to the story that will keep you glued to the page.
Kaley is likable and so competent that I want to be Kaley Quinn! And Special Agent Noah Hunter. The name alone is enough to make a girl’s heart speed up. And it does make Kaley’s heart beat faster, but she’s so determined not to fall in love…you know she will…eventually. But will it be with Hunter? Guess I’ll have to wait for the next book to find out. Or maybe the next one. Hurry up, Nancy, and get that next book out!
