Neither suspect their dangerous enemy has a larger motive, and David may be Grace's only chance for survival.

ENTERTAINING & ORIGINAL

I wasn't sure what to expect, but once I started listening to this book I didn't want to stop. It's a scary thought to know that someone is poking around in your mind and can maybe kill you. This book has great characters and an original plot. There's great chemistry between David and Grace, but the sexy times are not detailed. This doesn't take away from this being an awesome story. Can't wait for the next book.The Amanda Uhl did a good job with narration as well.

Fascinating plot

I was caught up in Mind Waves from the first page. The unusual premise is uber scary for me. And yet I thought the author brought out the humanity of the heroine and grounded this sci-fi story in reality. Which made it more scary. Kudos to the author for that.
I liked the use of the beach glass as art and talisman and without giving the story away it’s use in every way appealed.
Good strong narration brought the characters to life.

Chilling!

A new and unique take on fantasy. Suspense with a budding romance.
As both writer and narrator she shows a very promising future.

Live it.

The story was a very good and very interesting, it had me holding on and wanting to listen more. And Amanda did a wonderful job narrating her book. I feel it gives it a bit of a person touch to it as well. Love it can’t wait to read more by her.

Physic connection

I'll start by saying I met this author at a Holiday Craft show in Ohio a year ago. She had recently published this book and was selling this and another book at the show. I purchased both for a gift for my daughter. When I found the audible version available and was able to get a free book in exchange for a review, I took the chance. This type of book is different from my normal reading, and at first I wasn't sure if I would like it. As I read more, I became more invested in the characters. The authors reading style is good - unlike some authors who attempt to read their own books!

There is a connection between the "hero" and "heroine", and at first the Grace is unaware of that David can read her thoughts. In a world of physic connections, this can be a good thing - or a bad one.

Excellent listen!

Loved this book! Intriguing and unique story and complex characters, this book grabbed me from the start and kept me hooked. The author read this and did a fantastic job. Highly recommend giving this book a listen. I received a free review copy of this audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

Loved the characters chemistry!

I have been dabbling in Romance novel quite a lot recently to a point where they kind of all blends in together. Mind Wave was a breeze of fresh air into the often repetitive supernatural genre. It was great to know all along that David could read her mind and she had no idea! It was funny at some points.

I was afraid the book was going toward the chosen one trope that I am glad it did not go there.

If you want sex this book might not be for you. It's quite tame yet it doesn't suffer one bit. I would actually recommend you give it a try for something more about relationship and trust.

It pulls you in

This was a fascinating and intense book. The mind is an amazing thing and to listen to or read about someone coming in, searching around in it and messing with your thoughts and memories is scary. One man wanting to control not only her mind but all of her and another man risking everything to save her. I enjoyed it!

Loved this suspenseful paranormal romance!

This is a unique story different than anything I’ve read. The story sucked me in from the beginning all the way to the conclusion. I was not sure what to expect because I’m not familiar with this author but it definitely surpassed my expectations!

Narration was fairly good and brought the story to life.

The plot was excellent and the story progressed at a great pace! There is a good amount of suspense to keep you on your toes. Overall a great listen with just the right touch of romance to keep me happy.

This is a fairly clean suspenseful paranormal romance. I’m looking forward to reading more books from this talented writer.

Exciting romantic suspense!

Amanda Uhl is a new to me author, and this book is amazing. If you like romantic suspense, this is for you. David is part of a governmental agency that is able to infiltrate minds. When he is with Grace, their connection is so strong, and their love growing. Now she is the target of a madman, and David needs to do whatever it takes to protect her. Even if it means erasing him from her mind. Is he strong enough to ward off the attacker and take the mind hacker down? How interesting and scary this book is all at the same time! Grace is amazing. I love her strength and trust. When things are not as they seem, and she has no memory of David, she still puts her trust in him. David is like superman. He knows exactly what he needs to do, and is there when he is has to be. And the craziness of a madman, all for power is just insane. It's that thrilling suspense feel, wondering what is going to happen, will they catch him, the intricacy of the chase and the power of love. It's a fantastic listen.

Amanda Uhl narrates her own book with a powerful performance. She is talented, with an array of voices and her acting ability is spot on. Able to tell the story as intended, I think the book truly comes alive.

Interesting story and concept

3.5 stars
This story fascinated me and really got me thinking about what could happen if people could read minds and influence them.
The story takes us on a journey of espionage. The US government have agents who can read and influence minds, and David is their best agent. When his interest in Grace pulls her into an ongoing investigation, David is determined to keep her safe, but he doesn't know who the rouge hacker is and he doesn't know if he is strong enough to win.

The process behind the 'Mind reading/influencing' was explained well, and although I didn't understand everything, I understood enjoy to enjoy the story. Some of the 'mind battles' were a little confusing, but I got the gist.

Grace was the FMC, but I felt she was a push-over, I constantly wished that she would stand up to people more. It just seemed that she went along with everyone else and tried not to rock the boat.

For me David was hard to like, there were moments when I could see his love/devotion for Grace, but most of the time he just seemed stalkerish and domineering. His constant disregard for Grace's wishes and requests was a huge red flag, and he came across as a bit of a bully, always pushing to get his own way.

I can't make my mind up about the ending. It wasn't unexpected, but it was also just a touch disappointing because it was so predictable - I also wanted Grace to stand up for herself for once.

The narration was good, easy to listen to and clear. There are no different voices/accents further characters but you know exactly who is talking and when.

Loved

I did enjoy listening to Amanda Uhl

Loved this book. Mysterious circumstances bringing David and Grace together. Grace trying to find work as she has bills to pay since after divorce. She got a chance to bid for a big project that would get her through several months. Meeting David adds relief with a job offer and at the same time tension to her life.
This book has suspense, romance, action and humour.

Mind blowing!

I loved this book, right from the beginning I was sucked into the story and was on the the edge of my seat, this was action packed, full of suspense and romance. I loved the romance between Grace and David, and the stalking mind hacker was super creepy, I was kept guessing all the way through as to who else was involved, would it be someone close to them both betraying them. This was a gripping, addictive book and as soon as I'd finished I was checking to see if there was a sequel, I'm extremely disappointed that there isn't, maybe later on? This book was also narrated by the author Amanda Uhl it was professional an expressive, a pleasant surprise.

great book

Government operative David Jenkins is skilled at controlling his emotions. Feelings are lethal when your job is to infiltrate minds,
great love story

Interesting paranormal romance

This is an unusual and interesting paranormal romance. Amanda Uhl has explored the mysteries of the mind to create this story. The result is a very interesting start to a series.

David is a mind hacker. He is part of a special unit of the FBI that uses their abilities to extract secrets and so on from the minds of suspects, etc. David has attracted the interest of a rogue mind hacker. And civilian Grace has attracted David's attention. Needless to say, the rogue hacker has an interest in Grace too.

Grace is a recently divorced artist who is on the brink of loosing everything. She needs a job and she needs it yesterday. She has an interview that has the potential to pull her back from the edge but David appears to block her. She does not get that commission but David redeems himself by giving her another project working for him.

Their chemistry is pretty potent but I like the fact that Grace has her issues, concerns and insecurities. It makes her real. As their relationship develops, so does the rogue hacker's efforts.

Not all wars happen in a battle field. Sometimes they happen in the recesses of the mind.

I am looking forward in this series. It has a lot of potential!
