I don't know what it is about second books, but they almost never live up to the greatness of the first.  Maybe the reader's expectations are too high, but it seems like middle books lack the luster of the first.  The Mind Thieves, while good, was not as great as the first book.  But I can definitely say, if you liked The Mind Readers, you will not want to miss this story.Could be spoilers:Cameron is back living with her grandmother and believes she was in a coma for the two missing months of her life.  They have lived in Caribbean for six months and she does not remember anything but two beautiful blue eyes she sees in her dreams.  Then Maddox shows up to take her to "safety" and her father and her memory starts returning in bits and pieces.  She is told that her father is alive and taken to his house, but the reunion is not everything she hoped for.  Her father wants to know what she is capable of, just like Aaron did, and soon she is breaking into people's minds and hurting them like she did to Maddox.  Maddox is also trying to confuse her feelings by kissing her and making her feel disloyal to Lewis.  Her father wants her on "his side" but she can't see how his side was any different than Aaron's side was.  She feels imprisoned again, and needs to flee...The plot and storyline were almost identical to the first book except for the missing romance.  Cameron went from Aaron who had hurt her with deception to her father her had hurt her emotionally and mentally all her life and was now wanting to do experiments on her - to see what she was capable of .  Both men wanted her for her abilities, not for who she was.  All the men in her life seem to put the "cause" first.  Maddox, who had a girlfriend in book 1, seems romantically interested in Cameron, but he treats her just as indifferently as Lewis did while putting the "cause" first. Lewis only shows up briefly in the last couple of chapters, and he is not the same.So while the stories were similar, it was great to be in Cameron's life again.  I do love Cameron's inner voice and she makes the story both entertaining and interesting.  She has a great personality that is not bitter or too sarcastic, but funny and snarky.  I like it!  I really enjoyed the characters and Lori Brighton's writing. There was action and tense moments that made this definitely worth reading.I really believe/hope book three will be great as Lewis is back in the picture and we have established who Cameron is and a lot of what she can do.  Hopefully, it will come out soon!Would I/Did I buy it? Yes (2.99)Would I read it again? Maybe for reviewWould I recommend it to friends? Yes
