Books like Mind Games by Carolyn Crane
Justine Jones, a hard‑driven hypochondriac, believes a brain blood vessel will burst at any moment. When the striking detective Packard invites her into his clandestine crime‑fighting squad, she discovers her anxiety can be turned into a weapon against Midcity’s most dangerous criminals. The missions begin thrillingly—ranging from a violent murder to a nymphomaniac husband—and quickly grow darker as Packard’s true motives unfold. Justine is drawn into a world where ordinary police work collides with wizardry, eroticism and hidden cosmic powers, forcing her to confront fears beyond any human threat.
