Annabelle and
Sofia were orphaned when their parents died in a car accident. Blind, Annie had
her first vision that night of the crash. Hysterical, the babysitter calls
their parents to come home. They never made it. Left with an uncaring aunt,
their lives change dramatically two years later when Annie is offered a full
scholarship to attend an elite private school by the Keane Foundation. Thrilled
by the promise of a customized one-on-one education and career preparation,
Annie will also receive medical help in an attempt to reverse her blindness. Fia
realizes that something about the situation isn’t right. Fia is allowed to stay
at the school with Annie. Annie sees visions of the future but Fia has perfect
intuition and both girls are about to be used by the Keane Foundation.
Five years
have passed and Fia has been sent out on a hit. Fia knows that Annie’s life is
on the line. When she first sees her mark, he is helping a puppy and her
resolve to kill him is immediately shattered. Looking at him, Fia knows she has
put all three of their lives in jeopardy. The mark introduces himself as Adam
and is pleased to learn that Fia is only seventeen. He is nineteen and studying
to be a doctor. Trying to get him to safety, Fia realizes that they are being
followed by three men. Leading Adam into an alley, they follow and Fia quickly
assesses the situation. She is able to subdue them but not before getting shot
in the arm.
Making a call
to James, the son of Mr. Keane, she lets him know that the mark is dead but
that she ran into trouble. The men are incapacitated and to cover their tracks,
they will dispose of the body. She was shot in the arm but is fine. She can get
back home by herself. Fia lets Adam bandage her arm and she stuns the driver of
the men’s getaway car. Thinking through plans for Adam while she is driving,
the pain in her arm becomes too much. She pulls over to let Adam drive and he
gives her something for the pain. She falls asleep.
Waking up,
the past several hours come rushing back. Adam apologizes for giving her too
much pain medication but lets her know that he now believes her story. Between
rifling through her purse and asking her questions that she mumbled answers to,
he figures out what is going on. Both feeling slightly embarrassed, Adam lets
her know that he is actually a doctor, not studying to become one. He finished
school early and really is only nineteen. Adam is currently working in a
research project studying brain scans. His aunt claimed to be psychic and her
MRI results showed differences from a “normal” scan. He wants to expand his
study and Fia and Annie sound like the perfect subjects. Fia tells him she has
no special abilities.
Heading into
Chicago, Fia makes plans for Adam to disappear. Throwing away his phone and
wallet, she gives him all of her cash. She tells him to find a motel room and
get an email account that they both can access to communicate with one another.
Stay hidden. Fia heads back to school and hopes that she can keep her thoughts
to herself so no one will learn of her deception.
Who or what
is the Keane Foundation? What is their purpose? Why do they want Adam dead? What
are they using Fia and Annie for? Who were the three men looking for; Fia or
Adam? Will Fia be able to keep her secrets hidden? What happens when someone
discovers that Adam isn’t dead? Will Fia and Annie ever be able to escape from
the Keane Foundation?
Told in both
Annie and Fia’s points of view, alternating between the present and the past,
Fia slowly discovers that Annie hasn’t been completely truthful with her. The
second book in the Mind Games series comes out in 2014.
