The Mind Readers by Lori Brighton

Cameron Winters has always been different-she has a secret. She has the ability to read minds. Who doesn't at one point-wish they would be able to read the thoughts of others, be it out of curiosity or selfish needs? It isn't that way for Cameron. She has never wished for it and to her, it is not a gift, but a disability; something that causes her feelings of exclusion and not being able to belong-there will never be anyone who truly understand her, and be able to accept her for what she's capable of ... and who she really is. It wasn't until she met Lucas-the handsome new student in her class-who she feels an unexplainable attraction towards and who shares the same secret as her, did she felt a sense for belonging for the first time. And so Cameron allows Lucas to show her the world of mind reading-a new place, and an escape from those who labeled her as a "freak". But what she was not expecting was another prison, obstinate love, and betrayal.

Although I found the synopsis attracting, I honestly have to say that I was not expecting too much from a FREE kindle book. But this YA, was like a hidden gem in a pile of rocks. I went through many kindle Young Adult novels-searching for a good book and most of the time end up disappointed. That isn't the case for The Mind Readers; the saying "you get what you pay for", does not work for this piece.

The pace of the book was okay. It was also a very quick read-207 pages or so-as I stated above it may vary, depending on the device.

Ending wise, to some people it may seem as an erupt closure, because some of how the secondary characters were left without a conclusion; I however view it as one of those captivating ending or "cliff hangers" that is meant to keep the readers wanting to know more and purchase the second book. Though unlike many other books, where this kind of strategy may end up being a downfall ... it works well for me here.

I was charmed by this read and would definitely recommend it!
