There will be spoilers for the first book in this series Mind Games. Proceed with caution if you do not wish to be spoiled!
The Mind Games series is a duology! I repeat, Mind Games is a duology. I am ashamed to admit that I did not know this while reading Perfect Lies. As I was nearing the last 30 pages of Perfect Lies, I had noticed that it started to wind down. Then once I got to the end, I set the book down and went, "Wait a minute. Is this the ending? Is there no more for this series?" I immediately went to the internet, and found out that sure enough Perfect Lies is the final book and the series is a duology. I immediately was a bit sad, because I love this series! It's such a quick and fast read. It's the perfect series to curl up with on a day off from work or school.
I am ashamed to admit that this is not the first time I have read the final book in a series and while reading not known that it was the last book. Back in 2008, when I read the Twilight books, I had no clue that Breaking Dawn was the last book. I believe I've mentioned before in reviews that I hate spoilers. And since I didn't want to be spoiled, I didn't look anything up about the series. I just ordered the four books that were available. And when I got to the ending of Breaking Dawn, I had the same reaction as Perfect Lies. This got me thinking. I never realized it before, but you read the final book in a series differently. You may not subconsciously realize it, but it's true. You go into a different mind set. And I am not so sure if that's a good or a bad thing. I think while reading the last book in a series, you have expectations. It's not that reading the last book isn't as enjoyable, but your feelings are also different.
Fia is so beautifully broken. While everyone seems to think she's insane, I'm honestly surprised she's held it together as well as she has. To have her talent while amazing, is undeniably a curse when misused. She feels horribly sick and wrong when she's making the "wrong" choice. And considering what her life has been like since the Foundation took over her and her sister's lives. She's learned to function as best she can with all that wrongness, but when you add those terrible feelings to the immense guilt she feels from what the Foundation has forced her to do, she's constantly teetering the edge of sanity. My heart broke so many times for her, and where others saw anger and abrasiveness, I saw emotional devastation and a girl pushed too far. That being said, I was really happy to see her finally start to make decisions based on her own needs and wants rather than allowing herself to be completely manipulated. Sure there still was more than plenty manipulation placed on her, but in PERFECT LIES, she started to throw off a little of her chains one link at a time, and I was cheering for her every step of the way.
So much of this series involved relationship dynamics and secrets. I loved getting to see how each side of the story interwove with the other, and how I was always left guessing at everyone's motives, even Fia and Annie themselves. One relationship that really stood out to me was the one between Fia and James. It was powerful, yet completely confusing at the same time. I'm still honestly not sure whether or not his motives were pure towards her or not even after finishing this final book in the duology. Honestly I think it's a mix of both as while he may genuinely care for her, it didn't seem to stop him from using her for his own gain.
