FBI Behavioral Analyst Kaely Quinn's methods may be highly unorthodox, but her talent is undeniable.  She's done her best to establish a new life for herself after being demoted and transferred to St. Louis when a reporter revealed she's the daughter of an infamous serial killer.  But when that same reporter claims to have received an anonymous poem predicting a string of murders, ending with Kaely's, it seems her old life has followed her.
When a body is found that fits the poem's morbid predictions, Kaely and her new partner, Special Agent Noah Hunter, are forced to move past his skepticism of her approach and work together to unravel the deadly riddle.
With a brazen serial killer who breaks all the normal patterns on the loose, Noah and Kaely must race to catch the murderer before anyone else, including Kaely, is killed.

My Thoughts:
I became a huge fan of Mehl's writing after reading her Mennonite themed books in her Finding Sanctuary and Road to Kingdom series.  I was really excited to see Mehl branch off into a different genre and tackle Romantic Suspense.  Mehl has started off her latest series, Kaely Quinn Profiler, with a bang in the first book, Mind Games.
Mehl drew me in with the very first few lines of the prologue and I had a really hard time putting the book down until I turned the last page.  The story moves at a crisp pace with an eerie atmosphere and suspense that keeps the reader guessing until the very end, an end that you don't see coming and will take your breath away. Mehl's protagonist, Kaely Quinn, is a well-developed and complex character.  All the while I'm trying to figure out "whodunit", I'm at the same time trying to figure out Kaely.  
Mehl has garnered a spot on my suspense keeper shelf with Mind Games!  And the last line of the book...well let's just say, I can not wait to see what comes next for Kaely.

*I received a complimentary copy of the book from the publisher.  All opinions here are my own.

Happy Reading Ya'll,
