Nora Roberts’ latest novel is “Mind Games.” Her parents had taken them to their grandmother in Kentucky for a two-week stay, but that first night both 12-year-old Thea and her Grammie, Lucy, had the same terrible dream. The two never discussed the special kind of sight they share, but as soon as their tearful eyes met the next morning they both knew something terrible had happened. Thanks to Thea’s vision their parents’ killer will spend his life in a supermax prison. The only thing is that inmate has the same ability Thea does – and she can hear his twisted thoughts and witness his evil acts from miles away. “Mind Games” is also available on CD and in Libby.
