Title: Mindbreaker

Pages: 267
My Rating: ❤❤❤❤

Revenge. After my first taste, I find I like it. But as I maneuver my way through danger, my idea of revenge is turned on its head.

My name is Cassidy. Cassidy Edwards. And I'm the first of my kind.

The Job
Finding just who broke Dorian Ramsey's puppet curse and set the powerful vampire free. Only I've got a personal conflict of interest this time--it was me.

The Team
A Drake itching for any excuse to pin the crime on me--guilty or not. A Keeper wanting to pitch me in a Nether Reach prison--just for existing. A Warlock I barely recognize.

The Curve Ball
Dancing my way through the evidence, I uncover an avalanche of answers regarding my past and discover nothing is truly what it seems.


The previous installment in the Cassidy Edwards series left our MC in a bit of a predicament. Eager to find out how she was going to escape being found out by the fire drake, I immediately dove into Mindbreaker.

Although I did find the storyline intriguing, I actually had a hard time getting through it quickly. I wanted so badly for some major action to happen! It wasn’t until later on in the last third of the book or so that things started to go haywire and secrets were revealed. At this point in the book, I was completely enthralled in Cassidy’s story! This was the action I had been waiting for!! The shocking, action-packed ending of the book made reading the slower beginning of the book so worth it! It felt good to finally get a few answers!

In addition to the revelations, I enjoyed the puzzle that the author created. Once certain things were revealed I figured out that I could have seen this coming all along and figured out the mystery, if only I had picked up on the little bread crumbs along the way. As an avid watcher of crime shows and mysteries, I was very disappointed in my dismal mystery solving skills while reading this book. At the same time, however, not having things already figured out made the events that unfolded that much more shocking. I can’t wait to get started on book four and learn even more about Cassidy, Lucian, the Mindbreaker, and of course Ricky!!
