Book Blurb:
When everyone reads minds, a secret is a dangerous thing to keep.
Sixteen-year-old Kira Moore is a zero, someone who can’t read thoughts or be read by others. Zeros are outcasts who can’t be trusted, leaving her no chance with Raf, a regular mindreader and the best friend she secretly loves. When she accidentally controls Raf’s mind and nearly kills him, Kira tries to hide her frightening new ability from her family and an increasingly suspicious Raf. But lies tangle around her, and she’s dragged deep into a hidden world of mindjackers, where having to mind control everyone she loves is just the beginning of the deadly choices before her.
The Review:
After reading the synopsis for Open Minds, I knew I had to read this. I really liked the idea of people being able to read minds (but thankfully it’s not possible in real life!) and a world where everyone is able to do that but a certain few is the opposite of how most YA stories I’ve come across are told.
Right from the beginning I was hooked with the story. Kira the main character is a zero. In a world where everyone is an open book, a zero is looked down upon as untrustworthy and others give them a wide berth. As if it is their fault that they didn’t change. I think I identified with her right then and there, as the underdog always wins my heart over more often than not.Read the rest of the review.

Yes, I do celebrate St. Nicholas day, Sinterklaas in Holland, which is officially on December 5. But this year I celebrated on Saterday, as my stepdaughter was with us that afternoon. I love spoiling her a little.
Thanks for the giveaway, this sounds like an original YA.

No, I don’t celebrate St. Nicholas Day. If I did my 23 (as of right now) yr old would be Nicholas instead of Andrew ;).

When I was a good Catholic girl I celebrated all the Saint’s Days. We had a big to-do at school and everything.
Now that I’ve fallen off the religious wagon (so to speak) I barely even acknowledge the big holidays.
Do not celebrate it.

I didn’t know there was such a holiday, but then again, I’m not religious, so I don’t celebrate Xmas either.
