Annie lives in a world of darkness. Blinded as a young child, the only time she can see is when her mind is gripped by strange visions of the future. When the Keane Institute learns of her ability, they offer Annie a full scholarship. They tell her she’ll have indescribable opportunities. And they promise to take her younger sister, Fia, as well.
Born with flawless intuition, Fia has always relied on her instincts to tell her what’s right—and she immediately realizes that everything at the Keane Institute is wrong. But not before Mr. Keane himself discovers Fia’s ability and realizes that she, not Annie, is the perfect tool—the perfect weapon—to carry out all of his plans…from picking stocks to planting a bomb on an unsuspecting family.
Now Fia’s trapped. Because no matter how much it hurts, no matter how much it tears her apart, Fia will do everything Keane demands in order to keep her sister safe.

Industry Reviews
"You might think you know Kiersten White, but here is a darker, more dangerous Kiersten White. A sharp, heart-wrenching, lightning-fast, and fabulously fun read in which twining narratives weave a trap around two extraordinary sisters. Fia may be the angriest narrator I've ever loved. I bet you will too."--Laini Taylor, author of Daughter of Smoke & Bone and National Book Award finalist Lips Touch, Three Times "A visceral thriller. White effectively captures Fia's unpredictable, moment-to-moment existence, while Annie's narrative is grounded but emotionally complex. White's world building is as intriguing as her characters, making this a must-read series opener."--Booklist "Mind Games is a thriller of the best sort, one with many characters vying to have things their way, who will go as far as they need to get what they want--and a protagonist who will go even further. A brutal, exciting gem of a book."--Holly Black, New York Times bestselling author "From the high-impact opening, White hurdles her story forward. A fast-paced, gripping plot, and genuinely interesting characters. White's many fans will not be disappointed, and she is sure to gain many more."--Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) A tour de force of perspective and unreliability. The combination of supernatural abilities, clandestine organizations, sharply witty dialogue, and a supremely skilled heroine will be familiar to readers of White s Paranormalcy books, but this story is very much its own. --Publishers Weekly (starred review)" Brilliant in both character development and narrative structure, this is a psychological thriller that will challenge readers even as it speeds them through the pages. --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review)" A visceral thriller.
