Minder A Ganzfield Novel Kate Kaynak Books

3.5 stars

Full of heart pounding moments, and surprising twists, Adversary is a fantastic sequel. I was really blown away at how much more I liked it than Minder, and I'll admit I was a little hesitant to pick it up for that reason. Kate really surprised me, and I love how more in depth her characters are and I really enjoyed her detailed world building. I not only enjoyed the story, but I felt like I connected with more.

I enjoyed all the twists and surprises that Kate threw into her story. It's definitely a darker story and one full of action. When Maddie and a group of students goes away for the night, the come back to find that Ganfield wasn't only attacked but many of their classmates have died. I'm not sure who was more shocked at this turn of events, me or Maddie and her friends. I'll admit I admire an author who's not afraid to kill off some of her characters. Kate totally surprised me by so. During this time she not only showed more emotion from her characters, but she allowed me to become emotionally connected to the story. Not saying that I'm emotionally connected when a character dies, but this is the first time I felt I was able to relate to her characters.

Things definitely heat up a bit with the introduction of a new character, Zach. I not only enjoyed meeting him, but I like how his character shook things up a bit between Maddie and Trevor. I was really surprised at how much I ended up liking Trevor. I felt like his character grew the most and I was able to understand him more. Even though his relationship with Maddie is deepening and heating up, I for whatever reason am still having a hard time with it, which may seem wrong to say since the series revolves around them. I think it's because I feel like I'm being told at how intense it is vs being shown. That doesn't mean I don't like reading about some of their moments together, because I do, I just feel like I missing something with their chemistry.

Overall I felt like this is a great sequel. There is a lot more action, a lot more suspense, and I loved the surprises Kate throws into this story. With it's more sensual context & mild violence, this is a book I'd recommend to older teens and to fans of Minder.

Minder A Ganzfield Novel Kate Kaynak Books Reviews

After getting attacked one night, Maddie Dunn does the impossible. She fights back with her mind. Her life is turned upside down, told she is a "Minder", a person who possesses telepathic powers, she is transported to Ganzfield, a secret training facility with people just like her, but they're not. The majority of kids here possess pyrokinetic (fire) powers and mind control, she is the only minder.

Here, she meets Trevor, a person who she instantly connects with. It could be the fact that he is also a loner at the facility. He is telekinetic, someone who can control objects with his mind. He also feels he is dangerous to be around, just like Maddie. They fall hard and fast in love as if nothing can tear them apart. But, there are some secrets bout this facility that are kept hidden and some enemies that want it destroyed.

Kate Kaynak has created an interesting world that is similar to X-men in many aspects, but also resembles an ordinary high school. There's the popular kids/bullies (mind controllers) and the lovable geeks (pyros). All characters a very well-rounded and it was good to see all the flaws and weaknesses that teenagers with such powers have.

Even though the relationship between Maddie and Trevor happens too quickly, and it felt a bit unrealistic at times, I felt they were the perfect couple. Both of them were outsiders at school. Maddie was the only Minder and Trevor was the only telekinetic, and both of them were dangerous to be around when they were asleep. It can easily be seen why both would turn to each other.

Minder is the fantastic introduction to the world of Ganzfield, and the perfect start to this series. The book was a quick read, packed full of emotion and turmoil. I look forward to picking up Adversary and the rest of the books in this series to see where Maddie and Trevor go next.
