Kate Kaynak is a genius. I'm really not sure what I can say beyond that, she just is. When it comes to YA works (or any written work, for that matter) the author either has the ability to capture the attention of the reader, or they don't. Kaynak has it IN SPADES. I could not put down this book.

Accused takes us back to Ganzfield where all the students have "extra" abilities (at the beginning of the book, Kaynak gives a nice little synopsis of these abilities and an overview of what has happened...more

I swear, these books get better and better every single time. I loved Minder, here's my Review, I really loved Adversary, here's my Review, I really loved Legacy, here's my Review, and I really really loved Accused, and so will you.

I loved Minder because it introduced me to a world that was different from any I'd seen before. I loved Adversary because it built on the characters and story that I already adored. I loved Legacy because it was even more surprising and exciting than I could have ima...more

This is the fourth book in the Ganzfield series, so if you haven't read the first three you should stop and go read them now. I don't know where to begin, I was hooked from the beginning as government agents took Maddie into custody. Maddie faces alot of challenges in this book and you can feel her emotions vividly through the words. We also get to see other favorite characters such as Trevor (of course), Rachel, Drew, Seth, etc. There are many surprising turn of events throughout the novel that...more

Kate did it again! Accused was thrilling and I never wanted to put it down. If you haven't read this series yet, you are seriously missing out, and I'm telling you--this is the good stuff, and you are missing one of the best series ever.
I'm already attached to Maddie, but I felt so much for her in this book. As if she hasn't gone through enough, she's taken on another rollercoaster ride, and Kate thinks up whole new ways to torture her. ;)

This review was originally posted on my blog, Darkest Sins.

After three books you're supposed to find a leak in a series, right? Wrong! I'm thinking how it is possible to give a rating of five when I gave it at the previous book and this one is even better! When I reviewed "Legacy" I knew I had to wait before announcing my fave book of the series...

Ok, now I can really say I have a favourite book. And that book is Accused. In all the reviews I made I said that every book was better than the previous one, and once again my statement is true. This book was passionate, exciting, emotional and scary (a bit). I keep feeling so much for Maddie as she's the one who's been tortured, damaged, broken. Take one for the team, Maddie.

Accused, being the fourth book in the Ganzfield series, is definitely the most emotional. There were moments of great sadness, awwww moments, and moments of joy, frustration and anger. Yep, Accused was definitely an emotional minefield. The beginning of the book had me going from happy to scared to sick to hopeful so fast.

There were moments of great sadness, awwww moments, and moments of joy, frustration and anger. Yep, Accused was definitely an emotional minefield. The beginning of the book had me going from happy to scared to sick to hopeful so fast. Needless to say, with Accused Kate Kaynak had my emotions flaring and I loved every minute of it.
From the absolute beginning of the book I was hooked. There was so much going on and I just really wanted things to turn out for the best. There were so many events in Accused, none of them I want to mention because they would definitely be spoilers, but they were all really awesome in their own ways an each event just adds a little bit to the book and makes it that much more great.
With every book I read in the series I’m getting more and more scared to continue reading, mostly because I’m scared that something big is going to happen and that one of my favourite characters is going to get hurt or killed, or someone is going to break up with someone. Yet I know I will continue to read the series to the very end because I absolutely must know what happens next. I just have to know.
When I started the Ganzfield series I wasn’t a fan of Trevor but now after four books, I am really starting to find he’s growing on me. I mean he still does things that annoy me from time to time but I wouldn’t want him any other way, because he’s Trevor and he is a pretty cool guy.
Things have definitely taken an interesting turn in Accused. I’m not so sure what to make of it to be honest. However, I know that I am definitely intrigued and Kate has piqued my interest as to what is going to happen in the next book and in fact, the rest of the series. I’m really hoping that certain things work themselves out.
Overall, I absolutely loved Accused and I am so annoyed that I have to wait for ages to read the next book. The Ganzfield series is just a truly amazing series and I am constantly blown away by the depth and creativity that Kate Kaynak adds in each book. Definitely worth a read!(less)

I am a fan of Kate Kaynak’s Ganzfield series, I loved Minder and Adversary, but the 3rd book Legacy left me disappointed. I expected more, I expected that thrill and elation the first 2 books made me feel and Legacy left me lukewarm. So I started Accused, the 4th book in the series with a bit of trepidation: I wanted it to be just as awesome as the first two books were but feared to be left down. Thankfully my fears were for naught, because Kate Kaynak is back and Accused was just as mindblowing...more

If you have not picked up these books yet you are totally missing out on the awesomeness of the Ganzfield gang. ACCUSED is emotional, action packed, fast paced and all around awesome addition to the Ganzfield novels. My one and only complaint is a message to Kate:

Kate,

Reading the Ganzfield series, is a bit like being in a mentally abusive relationship with someone you can't help but love anyway. And Kate, I do love you, but I'm so emotionally drained after reading these books and I love every freaking minute of it! And each one just keeps getting better and better. With Ms. Kaynak the grand puppet master of it all sitting high on her lofty perch. I swear I have a bit of minder in me because I can hear her now:

Before I sit down to read the newest book in the Ganzfield series, I always get butterflies in my stomach. So much anticipation! I keep expecting (not that I want this to happen) for Kaynac to have an off book, because it’s so hard to keep a long series going without having one. But she never fails to amaze me. With each new book, there’s even more action, tension, and passion. She always finds a way to bring something new to the series and keep me guessing.

This is the 4th in the Ganzfield series and I truly do love these books. Accused continues the story of Maddie and Trevor and the cast of characters at Ganzfield. I thought the development of the story was great and Maddie faces some pretty serious stuff in this installment, which adds a lot of depth to her character. Without giving too much away, I'd say that the scenes where Maddie is being held by Hunter are very powerful and her reactions to that situation very real.

The Ganzfield series is an addicting, fast-paced, sexy, and hilarious YA series that I can’t get enough of. Accused is the fourth book in the series and it’s just as entertaining as the last three. This one focuses a lot more on relationships and less on a big bad guy – though there’s still a bad guy, it’s not so much a he, as it is a them (and a she).

As the title alludes, Accused starts with Maddie in the midst of some legal drama. As the story progresses, there are the occasional minder gather...more

I met Kate Kaynak at BEA and she was awesome enough to send me home with an ARC of Accused. I went back to the rental house that night and read it. Seriously. I just had to know what happened next with Maddy and Trevor. It was an insane ride and the end had me going back to Kate the next morning to let her know how much I hated the ending and her for writing it. (Seriously, I love Kate to bits. She is awesome but that cliffhanger ending KILLED ME!!)

Now, before I get ahead of myself, let's start at the beginning. Trevor and Maddy are trying to board a plane to Aruba when the Feds detain them. That is NEVER a good way to start your vacation. Maddy is taken in for "questioning" with Trevor but Maddy works out a way for Trevor to go for help. Trevor, of course, doesn't want to leave her there alone but Maddy insists that they need help. The next bit covers her "interrogation" by Hunter, a government man who is sick and twisted. He treats Maddy abominably while she is being kept locked up. When she is finally released, she's malnourished and has been mentally abused. Trevor can't stand to see her so mistreated. As Maddy is nursed back to health at Ganzfield, Ann approaches her about learning how to kill with her mind like Maddy can. Can sweet Ann REALLY learn that nasty trick that Maddy almost wishes that she didn't know? Will the government leave Ganzfield in peace or in pieces? What about Rachel's baby?

I loved this book- right up until the end, of course. I'm all about Trevor and while he wasn't in the part of the book where Maddy is held captive, he is still sweet, loving, and just... Trevor in this book. My husband actually likes Trevor after reading this one. So, it must be good, right?! I also liked that we got to see more of Seth not completely acting like a jerk in this one. Who knew Seth was so darn interesting?! I'd LOVE to see more Seth. (I already put in my order for MORE SETH with Kate.) We also see more from the other kids at Ganzfield. Ann, Zack, Rachel, Rachel's Super Baby, Drew and Harrison.... we get a lot of good scenes with all of them. I like Drew better every time he comes up in the books. Harrison, well, he gives Rachel some spot on baby naming advice. Ann is not so sweet and timid now that she's with Zack. She can be a pretty tough chick! But by far, Seth was the most unexpected part of the book. Now, before I slip up and accidentally get all spoilery (or more spoilery) I'll leave you with one of my favorite quotes from Accused. I won't tell you who says it, when or why. Hope it leaves you chomping at the bit for Accused!

Shortly after using my secret remote ability on Kate Kaynak, I was thrilled to receive an ARC of Ganzfield Series book 4 Accused .What a fabulous way to spend the 4th - fireworks before the fireworks! Accused is incredibly intense, mind-boggling, romance filled and action-packed. Kate Kaynak left no small detail without a unique connection. Abilities abounded, relationships deepened and Rachel and her baby made me want to don a tinfoil suit and become her honorary auntie!

It's extremely challenging to discuss anything from Accused without spoiling it, but here goes. Just looking at the cover lets you in on Maddie's imprisonment. Colonel Hunter is one sick,evil officer-gone-rogue keeping her in a secret facility. His intentions are to "break" and control Maddie and his efforts make you want to pour all you inner strength into her so she can survive and be reunited with Trevor and everyone at Ganzfield. My heart broke for Maddie!

Ah, but the rest of the book is loaded with fascinating mixtures of abilities and combinations of characters that will keep you glued to Accused.I don't want to spoil the story, but I'll let you in on one secret I think I figured out: Kate Kaynak unknowingly reveals her true identity as an actual member of Ganzfield living her life as an author in a remote location. She uses her reverse RV ability - causing you to seek her book out, minder-projects a vivid, action packed, romantic, thrilling and touching dream into your mind and then charms you into believing you simply read a fabulous novel in your own living room. She's a sneaky one, that Kate!

The only thing I really, really hated was the four words on page 251 "End of book four"!

If you are reading this review and have no idea what I am talking about, then you MUST, MUST read Minder - you will have the advantage of jumping right to books 2-4 after that this summer. You can find these books for sale at Amazon and Accused is expected to be released August 15th
I give Accused 5 firecrackin' stars!(less)
