Mind Fuck (The Administration, #1) - Manna Francis Mind Fuck indeed!

It proved a difficult start, as I didn't read much about the series before commencing it (for fear of spoilers) so it took a while for me to understand the background and familiarise myself with the setting and cast. And I admit I was expecting a bit more sci-fi in terms of mind alteration or perception changes, conniving tricks meant to set me in the wrong direction.

But once it became apparent that was not the case and I got to know Toreth and Warrick better, I was hooked. Plenty of suspence, thrilling action scenes, clever writing and a complex plot with numerous surprises, passionate sex encounters and characters carefully balanced on the boderline between good and bad.

I'd give it 5 stars just for keeping my attention so thoroughly despite the day's interruptions. But having such overwhelming characters and devious plot to keep me guessing was icing on the cake. Looking forward to the next installment.
