Mind Games

Summary
Fia and Annie are as close as two sisters can be. They look out for each other. Protect each other. And most importantly, they keep each other's secrets, even the most dangerous ones: Annie is blind, but can see visions of the future; Fia was born with flawless intuition—her first impulse is always exactly right. When the sisters are offered a place at an elite boarding school, Fia realizes that something is wrong . . . but she doesn't grasp just how wrong. The Keane Institute is no ordinary school, and Fia is soon used for everything from picking stocks to planting bombs. If she tries to refuse, they threaten her with Annie's life. Now Fia's falling in love with a boy who has dark secrets of his own. And with his help, she's ready to fight back. They stole her past. They control her present. But she won't let them take her future.

Afterthoughts
I really liked this book and the way it was written. The chapters flip between past and present, moving the story along while slowly revealing the sisters' backstory. The characters were quite complex, making me unsure who to support until the end, and relatable, which is always important to a good story.
The plot was intriguing and ends in a huge twist, one that I never saw coming. Fia and Annie are great POVs, dropping clues about their past without actually revealing anything until the end, which kept me hanging on!
The worst part of the book was the ending, because I was pretty sure that the book was a stand-alone and I wanted to know what would happen! Thankfully, I was wrong and I am eagerly anticipating the sequel.

Warnings
Some underage drinking, violence.
