The Mind Readers
by Lori Brighton
"The Mind Readers" held me tightly from the moment I started reading the first lines. The protagonist, a girl named Cameron, can read minds, an ability that labels her as a freak in her own mind. She is thrilled-terrified when she meets another one of these mind readers outside of her own family. Lewis introduces her to the world that her grandmother tried so desperately to keep from her, and falls quickly into it, in a way similar to how "The Mind Readers" kept me interested from start to finish.
Although this has a touch of romance, it is not the focus of the novel. The author presents multiple realities as the truth throughout the novel, many of which clash as Cameron's own view shifts. Like Cameron, the reader has to struggle with what to believe as truth and what is right and wrong. The author did a wonderful job capturing the individual voices of the characters, their realness making you love and hate them in turn. Cameron's own emotions throughout the novel were very precise and realistic.
A paranormal, light coming-of-age / coming into your own power novel, "The Mind Readers" is a well written and incredibly exciting read. Unlike many of the new-ish young adult series I've read lately where the first book has had me rolling my eyes in disgust (and subsequently avoiding the next), I will read the next books in the series and very much look forward to it.
