Short Summary

My Review of Mind Games

Why I picked up Mind Games

It was a Nora Roberts book, and I love this author.

I have been in dilemma over which book I ought to review first on this new blog of mine. And when this book landed in my hands, and I loved it, I knew this was the One. And here I am, absolutely delighted that this book called out to me. A story that had a gamut of emotions that broke me into pieces, then joined me back once again, filling my heart with love and hope.

Themes

Family and relationships. Good vs evil. Strength of heart vs mind games.

Plot of Mind Games

I liked the balance the author maintained between her characters and the plot in Mind Games. There was never a feeling of being overwhelmed with one. The beginning was tragic, made me cry, but the author captured the spirit and resilience of the people living in the mountains. Even the introduction of supporting characters was done in such a poignant manner that I felt I knew them all as my family.

The main characters grandmother Lucy, granddaughter Thea, and grandson Rem were the ones who carefully took me on this multi-generational saga where I could see the strings of love between all three of them. Even when the kids grew up and lived their lives, but always considered Lucy home. Each one thrived under the loving care of Lucy, including the family not of the blood but of the heart.

Do you have a person in your life who you would call your home?

I do. My mother and my sister.

Strengths

Detailed and strongly paced, the book had the evil playing mind games in the outer realms. That made it further suspenseful and made me root for Thea as she continued to hold off the enemy. I loved the idea of a home being a sanctuary against the evil. This was a family that opened their hearts to all those deserving while standing in support of those who needed it.

Thea’s supernatural sight along with Lucy’s knowledge of living life extraordinarily gave it an added layer. Romance for Thea was weaved in well, even where there were bumps and issues of trust peppered in it. The whole book had a sense of impending confrontation between the good and evil. And when it came, it tied everything and made it a journey that I would continue to make again and again.

Weaknesses

For me, there were none since I relished every moment I spent in this book.

Conclusion

Pages turned easily when every page showed me the rich tapestry of life and family and loving relationships, even when faced with the unimaginable along with evil mind games. There could never be an author who could capture my heart so easily than Nora Roberts.

Recommendation

This is a book I would completely recommend to everyone who loved the themes of Good vs Evil. Family and Friendship. To readers who wanted to wrap themselves in the cocoon of love and beautiful relationships.
