ASMR Book Review: "Mind Games" by Nora Roberts

Hello everyone! It's Jeie, and I'm excited to share a first for me – reviewing a book as part of our official ASMR book club. This initiative was started by Kim from Angel on My Shoulder. If you haven't checked her channel out yet, do so – she's fantastic!

Kim suggested that our ASMR artist community read and review the same book by the end of each month. This month's selection is Mind Games by Nora Roberts. As someone who already loves reading, I thought, why not give it a shot?

Joining the ASMR Book Club

For any ASMR artists interested in joining this book club, feel free to reach out to either Kim or me. No extensive formalities are required. While I joked about collecting dues and paperwork, it's really straightforward to join.

Next month, we’ll be reading The Women by Kristin Hannah. I'm a fan of hers, so I’m looking forward to it.

My Experience with "Mind Games"

Now, let’s dive into Mind Games. First, a little about my background with Nora Roberts – I had actually stopped reading her books because I'm not particularly drawn to love stories. I prefer something more substantial. This book, however, pleasantly surprised me.

While it did have a love story, "Mind Games" is also filled with suspense and thrills, which made it more interesting for me. Please note, there will be spoilers ahead. If you don’t want the plot revealed, you might want to skip to the end for my candy review.

Plot Summary

The story begins with a young sister and brother, Thea and Rim, being dropped off at their grandmother Lucy’s house in Kentucky. The parents are murdered while the children are away, and it turns out Thea has a psychic ability that allows her to project and see things from afar, which is how she witnesses the murder. Lucy, their grandmother, also possesses this ability and understands Thea’s visions.

With detailed insight from Thea, the detectives find the murderer named Riggs. He has a similar psychic ability and starts harassing Thea mentally while he is imprisoned.

Growing Up and Facing Evil

As Thea grows up, she refines her psychic abilities with her grandmother’s help. She becomes a successful game designer and later forms a romantic relationship with Ty, a rock star who moves into the farm next to hers.

Riggs remains a constant threat as he tries to penetrate her mental defenses. Thea eventually becomes strong enough to face him directly. She visits him in prison and mentally breaks him using her psychic abilities, ensuring he will never pose a threat again.

Final Thoughts

Overall, "Mind Games" combines a thrilling plot with elements of romance and supernatural abilities. It’s a compelling read that I would recommend to others looking for a mix of suspense and emotional depth. Thanks to Kim for suggesting this book—it was a refreshing take on Nora Roberts' writing for me.

Candy Taste Test

While reviewing the book, I also indulged in a little taste test of Smarties candies. Here’s a breakdown:

  • Original Smarties: Classic and slightly tart – just as good as I remembered.
  • Extreme Sour Smarties: These had an extra kick but were very enjoyable.
  • Tropical Smarties: Disappointing and lacking genuine tropical flavor.
