"Strong characters, a clever premise, and a hilarious voice all
team up to make Paranormalcy the most refreshing paranormal debut
of the year." - Lisa McMann, New York Times bestselling author of
the Wake trilogy
"Paranormalcy seduced me. The two sexy paranormals who vie for
Evie's affections each had their own victory; one won Evie's heart
and the other won mine." - Aprilynne Pike, #1 New York Times
bestselling author of the Wings series
"A fast, flirty roller coaster of a ride. This story was everything
I hoped for--sassy, light-hearted and downright scary. Oh, bleep!
I'm in love!" - Becca Fitzpatrick, New York Times bestselling
author of Hush, Hush
"The perfect blend of light and dark. I can't wait for more!" -
Carrie Ryan, New York Times bestselling author of The Forest of
Hands and Teeth
"The most imaginative vampire/werewolf/supernatural series going."
- Newsday
Praise for the Paranormalcy trilogy: "White shows the technique and
polish of a pro in this absorbing romance, which comes closer than
most to hitting the Buffy mark." - Publishers Weekly (starred
review)
"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
"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
"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
"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)
"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)
"Fans who love Evie's signature style of butt-kicking,
wise-cracking, headlong rushing into trouble, neatly mixed with her
addiction to all things romantic and girly, will embrace every
nerve-wracking moment. A sparkly gift tied-up with a pretty pink
bow." - Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) (starred review)
"A delicious, dangerous treat!" - Kirsten Miller, New York Times
bestselling author of The Eternal Ones and Kiki Strike
"Endessly had me in its clutches from the first hilarious page to
the last breathtaking sentence." - Cynthia Hand, New York Times
bestselling author of Unearthly
"You might think you know Kiersten White, but here is a darker,
more dangerous Kiersten White. Mind Games is a sharp,
heart-wrenching, lightning-fast, and fabulously fun read in which
twining narratives weave a trap around two extraordinary sisters.
Take notes from Fia on how to deal with eavesdropping mind-readers;
she 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
Gr 7 Up-Fia, 17, has unerringly good instincts, but sometimes they are not good enough. They didn't prevent her parents from dying in a car crash when she was a child. They didn't keep her and her sister, Annie, out of a school administered by the sinister Keane Foundation, which has more than educational interests at its core. And they have not gotten the girls out of the hands of the organization that is now exploiting Annie's psychic abilities and training Fia to be the perfect assassin. When Fia is sent to kill a young man named Adam, her senses tell her that his death is the wrong outcome, but if she defies her employers, the consequences could be dire. Adam is linked to a group that could be major opposition for the foundation. Fia wants nothing more than to see Keane ruined-as long as the consequences of its downfall do not include Annie's death, or her own. This gripping, intense story is told from alternating perspectives, flashing back to key moments in the siblings' pasts. The plot moves quickly from the start, throwing readers right into the story. While some background is provided later in the book, full explanations of the nature of the Keane Foundation remain elusive. This book is sure to be popular with teens who enjoy fast-paced thrillers with paranormal elements.-Misti Tidman, Licking County Library, Newark, OH (c) Copyright 2013.
