Mind Games by Nancy MehlMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Kaelly Quinn is a behavioral analyst with the FBI. Her father was a famous serial killer which, along with her rather unique method for profiling monsters, makes it difficult for her to fit in. A journalist bent on revealing all her secrets has made her life even more difficult, but that's nothing compared to the fact that she is now the target of one of the monsters she spends so much time hunting. Working alongside fellow FBI agent Noah Hunter they race to figure out just who has a vendetta against Kaelly before anyone else is killed.
I'll admit that I wasn't too sure about this book at the beginning. Dialogue seemed awkward and there seemed to be more telling than showing, but things got much better as the book progressed, and I found myself not wanting to put it down. I had a hunch of who I thought the killer was at the beginning, but author Nancy Mehl did a good job of throwing out possibilities and red herrings. I found the character of Kaelly Quinn especially interesting. I wish she had progressed a bit more as the book went on, but as this is the first of a series, I'm not too surprised at where it ended. I'll be interested to know more about Noah as the series continues as well. I'm definitely invested enough that I'll have to read the next book in the series.
If you can get past the rough beginning I think you'll really enjoy this suspense novel by Nancy Mehl. You may be a little frustrated in the end, but in a good way. I'm looking forward to the next book!
I received a free copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for my honest review.
