Free Audiobook : Mind Games, By Nora Roberts

As is their tradition each June, the Foxes have navigated the serpentine roads of Appalachia to leave their children for a fortnight at their grandmother’s. Here, twelve-year-old Thea can roam freely and inhale the scents of pine, fresh bread, and Grammie’s homemade candles. But as her parents return to suburban Virginia, they are oblivious to the imminent danger they are about to encounter.

Back in Kentucky, Thea and her grandmother Lucy both wake from the same terrifying dream. And although they have never spoken about the unique vision they share, they know instantly from their tear-streaked faces that something dreadful has occurred.

The children will now be staying with Grammie in Redbud Hollow, and due to Thea’s vision, their parents’ murderer will spend his life in maximum security. Over time, Thea will form friendships, establish a career, find love. But that ability to peer into minds and souls still resides within her, and although Grammie refers to it as a gift, it feels more like a curse—because the prisoner who ruined her childhood possesses the same ability. Thea can hear his warped thoughts and witness his wicked deeds from miles away. He is aware of it and craves revenge. A lengthy, silent battle will ensue between them—and eventually lead to a face-to-face, head-to-head confrontation.
