An entertaining read. The book features Kylie Bates, a teen who can suddenly read minds and that isn't as much fun as it sounds. Kylie finds that she ends up with many more questions and the mind reading doesn't give her all the answers, or even some. Somehow there is a whole world she didn't know about and a whole host of super-powered relatives, not all of them friendly. Well- written adventure from the start with an interestingly attractive love interest for Kylie.

This book was a great read! Awesome, humorous story-telling made me chuckle not a few times, delighting in the main character's witty thoughts and conversations with the other participants in the story. The author excellently, effortlessly told the tale from the viewpoint of a teenager with all the usual character traits found in such age group: defiance, disobedience, realization of wrong, forgiveness. The plot is solid, although a few questions are deliberately left unanswered to give way to the next book in the series, but at least the foundation of the story is clear and coherent. I love Kylie and Trip and I hate the best friend. This is one enjoyable, light read you would like to indulge in during life's bleak days when you're looking for something to make you smile.

Many thanks to Netgalley and Hatco Publishing for providing me a copy of this book.

This was a YA PNR.  Totally was not what I expected from this author.  So I had to get it. It was a good book.

I liked the pacing and writing of this book. The main character, Kylie was not obnoxious or irritating. I liked that she remained true to her high school, crush having, sixteen year old character with teenager worries of pop quizzes, guys, best friends, etc. I like a book even more when it keeps me guessing, and I'm wrong! This happened a few times as I tried to piece the story together. 

I also liked that the story was fairly clean. There were a few images that I would not want my middle schooler to read (flashes of making out with clear intent), but others may not find these parts a problem. I liked that Kylie felt guilty about making wrong choices though blaming someone else was not acceptable. I thought the other characters brought more mystery to the story. I was left with a few unanswered questions. I don't know if they will be answered in the next book or not. Here's hoping, though. Very quick, fairly clean read. I loved that there was NO bad language! Thank you for a great story that had me on edge hoping that all would end well.

This about a young girl waking up one day and realising that the life she knew would no longer be the same. While helping to find a kidnapped girl, she not only find love interest but also puts herself on the kidnappers radar. This book s ending was a cliffhanger and I will be reading the next book.

SHAKEN a young adult, the first in "Mind Read " series by Susan Hatler.
Her books are always good, funny, enjoyable plots. This starts with Kylie 16 year old girl, answering the door, before going off to school. A salesman, Mark, hands her his card before leaving. She is Shaken, by the touch and the thoughts that are coming to her. Goes to school, touches her friends, nothing happens, oh, she didn't touch their hand. Introduced to her substitute science teacher, he shakes her hand and her comes those peek a boo thoughts again. Her Dad is a Psychologist, tells hers that nothing she tells him, he hasn't heard before. So she does, he doesn't believe her. She shakes his hand, and her comes those peek a boo thoughts. Then a friend of her Dads come to the door, a police officer. Dad wants Kylie to help find a missing girl, to trust him. Why,what's going on .This is a delightful book, that keeps you laughing and turning the pages, to the end. Looking forward to more in this series. Given ARC by Net Galley for my voluntary review and my honest opinion.

This is a really fast read that I found entertaining.  I liked the theme and think young adults would enjoy this idea.

This book is one of the best thriller/romance books I have had the pleasure of reviewing! It brings together everything from gripping the edge of your chair to praying that she gets the guy she has fallen for!

I have found this Book to be review on NetGalley, Synopsis was very interesting and appealing to me.
Young Adult is not my usual but something I was really happy I took upon me to read it.
Full of Mystery and intrigue, Kylie discover very soon in the book that she got a special ability. All throughout she realized that people close to her have been lying and hiding thing from her. 

The Books end whit a happy ending but with lots of questions still unanswered.  
I do hope there will be more books coming along I will surely get them 

This was a refreshing story, very different then my usual but very worth it
Congrats to the Author, you did an amazing Job

I liked the story, I liked Trip and how he tries to focus on helping Kylie instead for acting on how he feels for her. In the begin I had difficulties to connect with Kylie, to even like her. She is so insecure and always doubting herself. I wanted to yell at her to get over it and do what needs to be done, not to listen to obvious lies. Towards the end it did get better and there was some fighting spirit in her, but then the book ended and there are so many unanswered questions left. I hope that some day there will be a second book out to find out what happens to Kylie, Drew, Lynn and the rest of her family. I recommend it to everyone liking some good mystery and is not getting annoyed with too much teenage angst.....and who can accept that there is no book to get your questions answered.
I chose to read this book and all opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased. Thank you, NetGalley and Hatco Publishing!

I liked this! The main character walked the snarky edge of unlikable, but she never went too far. This story had some interesting twists, some of which I was totally wrong on which is always a pleasant surprise. I'm left with more questions though so I'm looking forward to the sequel!
