Wow, this has some great reviews and the synopsis really got me interested... It started out great, I thought i was in for a great story, then its started to slow down and I thought maybe its just a quiet part of the book then it really came to halt and turned into a full blown cringey romance, with mostly unlikeable characters. Dont get me wrong I don't mind romance in a story , my last listen was "All the colours of the dark" which I would consider has elements of romance. But Mind Games is a full blown romance, dont let the synopsis fool you in thinking its something else. I have an hour left and I cant bring myself to finish this, I really dont like this book. The narrator does a good job switching between the various voices .

This could have been a great dark Thriller where Thea uses her gift in solving crimes, throw in Riggs as a nemesis taking control of killers ( or something) First and last Nora Roberts for me.

sorry but, I just find this really boring. very linear which is fine but not enough meat to really get you hooked. could be a good 24 episode/season. narrator was fine.

The first 30% really got me interested, then it kind of dragged... I love some good descriptive writing, but there is such a thing as too much detail and this is what dragged this book down. Too much not relevant detail made me start to lose focus. Apart from that,I thought it was pretty decent I enjoyed most of the story I liked the ending and I thought the narrator was pretty decent too. Would I recommend it?... Maybe, it's a bit different which can be a good thing.

Not bad , definitely not great... Drawn out and a little boring didn't help to have unlikeable characters which made it harder to enjoy. Decisions that I couldn't relate to hence why this book and I didn't click. Narrator was good. Some twists were good some were predictable. I couldn't recommend this book.

if you like time travel/parallel universes then you'll probably enjoy this. This scratched my itch for those genres, thoroughly enjoyed.

overall I quite enjoyed this story, held together well, hooks you in and keeps you interested. The pay off is where it fell a little bit otherwise I'd recommend it to someone who enjoys a decent thriller/twisty story. Well done on the narrator's effort.

Narrator Tim is phenomenal. The story is very interesting, a little slow but it needs to be too be able to build the world, the lore and the characters. I've just started the second and will see how that goes but so far I'm enjoying this series

This has good reviews so obviously plenty of people have enjoyed this, this is also the hard work of Freida and Leslie so I will not be too harsh.
I found Leslie's voice reminded of what an erotica narrator would sound like, it seemed like she was whispering and trying to be sultry the whole way though which I found very off putting.

I get the "twists" but overall it just wasn't well done ( in my opinion) why bother having inner dialogue for the main character and then we find out what we find out? I did not enjoy this book or the narrator.

I really got into this up until about 75% through, when you start to see what's unfolding. could have been really good, just wasn't a fan of the ending . could be a good movie/show
