The Mind Thieves by Lori Brighton

2.5 stars

Well, hmm what to say about the second book in The Mind Readers series.  No, it was not as good as the first.  Why?  Well, my theory is that we already know the characters and the premise of the story so the surprises aren’t as frequent.  There are still a few surprises in this book.  Cameron, like any teenager I’ve ever met, won’t listen and seems to think she is smarter than her elders.  Others have reviewed that Cameron’s reactions are dramatic.  I think anyone with a teenage daughter will attest that frustration and drama goes with the territory.

There is more to the book than Cameron’s ability to read minds.  It has the changing familial relationship difficulties.  Teenagers growing up without mothers and fathers.  The tension between parents that are unmarried along with step-siblings.  The predicament of the children having to take sides at times and feeling disloyal.

I still liked the book and will read the third book when it is released.  I have to find out what happens.
