I was given a copy of this collection of books for an honest review. So far I have only read Open Minds, so the review is for that book only.Open Minds contains a well thought out future society where almost everyone can hear each others thoughts. Somehow, in the midst of this frightening scenario, they are not at each others throats in response to all the dirty/negative/derogatory thoughts they surely must be having towards each other. Perhaps they've learned to live more at peace with each other? The main character, Kira, is a zero, as in she cannot hear other's thoughts. At least, that's what she and everyone else thought until she almost killed her friend when he tried to touch her.From there the book becomes more interesting as Kira is drawn into a hidden world of other mindjackers such as herself, taking up with a somewhat shady character, Simon. The story took off in an unexpected direction, and pleasantly surprised me by doing that several more times.The conclusion is well constructed and brings the book to a satisfying end, although there are obviously more books in the series.Quite a good read, with Kira, Raf and Simon, being engaging characters of some depth.
