It seemed to literally end right in the middle of a paragraph. Too much mystery, too much suspense, too many unanswered questions, all appearing at the last chapter not to mention the actual ending was so abrupt, I turned the page expecting another sentence and there was none. What I found most upsetting was this book had so much potential to have an incredible ending instead, the ending was cheesy, predictable, and let’s just say, CLIFFHANGER! It seemed to me like the author was trying to end the book on a slightly mysterious note: with a little bit unknown to keep the reader guessing, but yet with still enough satisfaction to feel good coming out of the read. I find myself judging books by their endings, and though this one wasn’t the worst I have seen, it wasn’t exactly amazing. The storyline approaching the ending was all well and fine, and I would have probably liked it well enough had I actually found the ending decent. In fact, he’s made a vow: Christopher Lane will die. Chris can’t get over himself for such a fatal mistake, but what’s even worse is that Ernest can’t get over it, either.

The issue? Chris is being haunted by Ernest, the brother of the boy he accidentally killed. Despite the fact I loved the first book and yes, this book definitely lived up to my expectations coming off of The Ability, I did not like this one as much as the first.Ī sequel to The Ability, Mindscape follows Chris and all his friends as they journey through the last few months they have their Ability, helping the police solve crimes and learning to control their powers even further. While the storyline as a whole was well developed, action-paced, and complete with fun characters, the ending completely threw off everything. For, if nothing else, Dulcia Genever did teach her son one valuable lesson: Revenge is a dish best served cold. Yes, he will keep his promise-Christopher Lane will die-but not until he has watched Chris lose his mind waiting for Ernest to appear. Meanwhile, alone in Darkwhisper Manor, Ernest Genever is enjoying watching Chris’s torment. Chris’s teachers are already concerned enough about him, especially when Chris starts to wonder if the boy may not be a figment of his imagination after all. There is no escape from the guilt, not even on his return to Myers Holt-the secret London academy where he and five others are being trained to use their mental powers, their Ability.īut now that the threat of Dulcia Genever has been dealt with, his friends are too busy working for the police, entering the minds of some of the country’s most dangerous criminals, to sympathize. Synopsis: Everywhere that Christopher Lane turns, he sees the face of the boy he killed. ** This post contains affiliate links for your convenience.**
