Congratulations to Susan on a great Release Day for Open Minds!

I’m a little late with my post. We don’t have any power here in Massachusetts.  Twelve inches of wet, heavy snow on trees that still have their leaves causes a bit of havoc with the power lines. We’re on day 3 without power and hotel hopping until it comes back on.  The power company says it could be another few days.  But we’re all safe and that’s what matters.

Now onto something much more fun!

OPEN MINDS!  I was lucky enough to get an early copy to review.  I have to say, I’m very happy to write this review for Susan, her book was brilliant.  OPEN MINDS reminded me of a Scott Westerfeld book, Uglies came to mind when I started reading.  Kira’s world is wonderfully detailed and her story pulls you in without even trying.  I couldn’t put the book down.  Every chapter pulled me deeper into the conflict of having a secret in a world where secrets are the hardest things to keep.  I had to force myself to put the book down to get some sleep each night.  When I got to the last page I was so upset that there wasn’t a link to book #2 so I could buy it that night and continue living Kira’s story!

Great job Susan, you wrote a book that has made me a fan and I’m sure you’ll have a following after today’s release.  I know I’m not the only one anxiously awaiting your next Mindjack novel!

When everyone reads minds, a secret is a dangerous thing to keep.

Sixteen-year-old Kira Moore is a zero, someone who can’t read thoughts or be read by others. Zeros are outcasts who can’t be trusted, leaving her no chance with Raf, a regular mindreader and the best friend she secretly loves. When she accidentally controls Raf’s mind and nearly kills him, Kira tries to hide her frightening new ability from her family and an increasingly suspicious Raf. But lies tangle around her, and she’s dragged deep into a hidden world of mindjackers, where having to mind control everyone she loves is just the beginning of the deadly choices before her.

Open Minds (Book One of the Mindjack Trilogy) by Susan Kaye Quinn is available in e-book (Amazon US (also UK, France and Germany), Barnes & Noble, Smashwords) and print (Amazon, Createspace, also autographed copies available from the author).
