JUSTINE KNOWS SHE’S GOING TO DIE. ANY SECOND NOW. Justine Jones has a secret. A hardcore hypochondriac, she’s convinced a blood vessel is about to burst in her brain. Then, out of the blue, a startlingly handsome man named Packard peers into Justine’s soul and invites her to join his private crime-fighting team. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime deal. With a little of Packard’s hands-on training, Justine can weaponize her neurosis, turning it outward on Midcity’s worst criminals, and finally get the freedom from fear she’s always craved. End of problem. Or is it? In Midcity, a dashing police chief is fighting a unique breed of outlaw with more than human powers. And while Justine’s first missions, including one against a nymphomaniac husband-killer, are thrilling successes, there is more to Packard than meets the eye. Soon, while battling her attraction to two very different men, Justine is plunging deeper into a world of wizardry, eroticism, and cosmic secrets. With Packard’s help, Justine has freed herself from her madness—only to discover a reality more frightening than anyone’s worst fears.

A hypochondriac as a heroine?! Interesting, yes! Not to mention different. Justine was recruited to help "disillusion" people who are not-so-good. When one is "disillusioned," their old self is broken down and when they rebuild, they are good. This was interesting and I'm glad I read it, but J...
Once again, I'm going to make things easier for myself, by using a blurb: Justine knows she's going to die. Any second now. Justine Jones has a secret. A hardcore hypochondriac, she's convinced a blood vessel is about to burst in her brain. Then, out of the blue, a startlingly handsome man named P...
I liked the concept of this... but I can't say that I felt comfortable with really any of the sex in the book. Not b/c I have any problem with smutty text, but b/c of the setting and what was going on. Too much mindfuckery and I found most of the people involved in the scenes of heightened sexuali...
Kennt ihr das Gefühl, in der Urban Fantasy schon alles gelesen zu haben? Vampire, Werwölfe, Magier, Dämonen – ich kenne sie alle. Trotzdem lese ich dieses Genre noch immer gern. Obwohl ich mit den Grundzutaten bestens vertraut bin, bin ich stets gespannt, wie der Autor oder die Autorin versucht, sie...
Mind Games is unlike any urban-fantasy I've read so far. It doesn't feature shape shifters nor vampires or witches. You won't find your 'typically' kick-ass heroine or at least someone who desperately tries to act as a badass in this book either. It also doesn't have any intricate love triangles, in...
