Cameron has always been different, always been an outsider. That kinda comes with the territory when you can read minds. She has integrated herself into the “cool” crowd in high school by befriending Emily, the most popular of them all. All Cam has to do is say the right thing at the right time…and when you know what someone wants to hear, well, it’s not that hard to do.
When a classmates body washes up on shore and Cam hears the thoughts of the killer in the crowd she knows she must stop him. Going against her grandmother’s teachings about flying under the radar she sets out to find the killer. What she finds is Lewis, the new mysterious kid that seems to know what she is thinking. Could it be true? Could there be more like her?
Solving the murder mystery was one thing, but falling for Lewis is a complete other. Cam finds a confidant in him, something she has never had. Being raised by her grandmother after her dad died and her mom abandoned her has forced Cam to grow up completely isolated. Always scared, always hiding…always running.
Lewis offers her an escape. Come with him to a place where more mind readers exist. Leave with him and never come back. Cam follows, never once thinking of the reasoning or ramifications of her actions. Meeting the owner of her new home, Aaron is like a dream come true. He is willing to teach her how to control the voices, learn to build her strength. But like some dreams, it quickly turns into a nightmare. Things don’t add up, people are lying…Aaron, Lewis, the guy chained in the basement being tortured for the “greater good”.
Escaping isn’t a option..at least not in her current state. You see….once you’re in, there’s no getting back out…at least not completely.
I want to cuddle up to this book and never let go! Ok, that sounds strange…eh….I love this book! It was so good! The mystery, the intrigue….THE ENDING *sigh*.
From the very beginning you’re treated to a murder mystery. One that quickly morphs into a dark community in which the lines of right and wrong are blurry. Each side pulling at an arm, wanting you to believe only them. Who do you pick? How do you make the decision who to choose when each side is sprinkling in lies along with the truth?
I loved Cam and Lewis together. Even though I don’t think they are meant to be together for the long haul. Lewis is strong, gorgeous, and WAY to young for me…but he made my nearly 30-year-old heart skip a beat. Lori wrote him so vividly, that I could see him, feel the heat from his body that Cam always felt. See the deep blue pools of his eyes.
Cam is young, she is confused..but I still liked her. Her experiencing love for the first time…the kiss, the emotions. It felt totally real to me. The jealousy, confusion and ultimately, the betrayal. I could see through her eyes, it was all so fresh and new… Cam is a strong mind reader, apparently one of the strongest in existence and Lori’s portrayal of her does my image justice.That generally doesn’t happen to me. I’m often let down in the portrayal of a character I’ve built up in my mind. Can doesn’t come across as whiney or weak. I was often struck by the fact that she seemed older than her years.
I have no clue what to make of Aaron. Whether he honestly thinks he is doing things for the right reason or not. I haven’t a clue if the guy being tortured in the basement, Maddox, is telling the truth either. The organization Maddox works for (SPI) is shadowy and cloaked in their own secrets. All we know is that Cam’s father worked for them at one point. Was it the SPI that murdered him or someone closer? Did I mention that Maddox has beautiful steel-gray eyes and a rock hard body? No? *le sigh*. Plus he’s closer to my age at somewhere around 21…would that make me a cougar? There was a definite connection between him and Cam from the instant he locks his scowling eyes onto her.
I have so many questions at the end of the book that I want to scream in frustration that I don’t have the second one in my hands RIGHT NOW. The knowledge that I have to wait for however long before book two is done…shoot I don’t even know if she’s started writing it yet. See me shaking my fists toward the heavens in frustration.
Lori Brighton is an author not to be missed! The Mind Readers will send you warp speed into a world where your thoughts and darkest secrets are on display for all. Things are not always what they seem and the evil may lie in the shades of gray.
The Mind Readers gets 4.50 stars from me!

Just interesting enough to finish, way too much high school crush drama that took the focus away from what could have been an decent plot.
Better than expected
I actually enjoyed this one far better than I expected. Besides the teenage angst and emotional back and forth, it was a pretty solid plot. I can even make exceptions to that considering her past. Etc.

This is more of a 2.5. I had a lot of problems with this book. The character were obnoxious and immediately fell in love for no reasons I could understand. I think the story could have been good but the author spent so much time repeating the same phrases that I wanted to scream. The characters were flat and didn't make me root for them at all, except maybe Maddox, only because I think he wasn't evil. I hate not finishing a series, but I'm not sure I can on this one, unless I cash borrow these from the library. I got this free from amazon for my kindle.
I really wanted to like this book, but I found myself so confused in the middle of the book I started reading a different book! This book was very well written but at times it just left me so confused I sometimes had to go back and re-read a part that I had already read about 6 times.
Loved the MC Cameron but I honestly am not really too keen on Lewis. And after I read the part about his ability I instantly did not like him even more. He seemed to be the type of guy that you would want to stay away from.
I just overall only semi liked the book.

This is the second time I’ve read this book. And I really did enjoy it. Sometimes I have a hard time keeping interested in a book that it takes me a few days longer to finish it. But I read this in about days worth and I was hooked the entire time. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because sometimes Cameron really irked me. I literally said what are you doing out loud several times. But overall, it is a great read and I can’t wait for the second one to arrive in the mail.
It was fine. Heavy romance focus. Cool idea, okay execution. Her ability to learn new mind tricks instantly was boring. She didn't have to work for anything, nothing was a struggle, only if her love for whats his face was real or not. The end put a little twist on her situation, as much as it felt like going back to square one. It sets up for it's sequels, but I won't be reading the next volume. All in all, the beginning caught me enough to keep reading casually over my lunch breaks at work.
I love how the book immediately jumps into it. It has a good fast pace that doesn't leave you reeling or asking too many questions that won't be answered. It's a quick and easy read which in itself is a good and bad thing, but for a YA book, it's expected. I actually love the way it's written and how easy it is to follow, it allows me to just swim in its world for a while.
Like many YA books, don't expect many things to be realistic. She's a teenager who can read minds, come on :)
Overall a nice enjoyable read with an interesting plot.

This book was too full of contradictions. One minute, the MC is scared of everything, then she's brave and confident, then she's back to being terrified. She's angry at Lewis for using her/lying to her/betraying her, then she's just SO taken aback by how gorgeous he is she no longer cares that he's the second worst person in this whole book, then she acts like she's a ~strong independent woman~ who won't cry or appear weak in front of him and this is their "last kiss", but then she's all weepy again and dying to have his arms around her and kissing him again. It's so sickening. MC is horrible, Lewis is 200% horrible (literally there's nothing about him MC should like, she's just shallow and into his looks), and the book is 400% horrible.
While I'm curious to see how she gets her memories back, to find out what's been going on with her not-so-dead father, and to see Lewis & Aaron get what's coming to them, I'm NOT curious enough to spend money on the second book.
