A fast paced teen sci fy novel. I couldn't put it down. Love Eila the strong independent female character in a world not far from ours. This has left me wanting more.

Read Mindcull! This book is amazing. Action packed and fast moving this is a perfect read. I strongly recommended reading this book it’s AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love YA novels, and this one did not disappoint. The VR genre reminded me of James Dashner (who wrote Maze Runner) “Mortality Doctrine” series. I love the relatable, strong female protagonist, and will recommending this to my younger female friends as there are not enough books with strong, female characters. Hoping to learn more about this in the future, and looking forward to more book by KH Canobi.
Hello Everybody and welcome back! The holidays are over and I spent a lot of time reading! Specifically, rereading many series I like (Fablehaven, The Threshold Series etc, I might tell you the details later 😁), but I did enjoy one new book!
Mindcull is by an awesome new Aussie author I know and this is her first book! It's not my typical genre but by the end I was pumped up and ready for more!
Right from the start I knew that it was really well written, I could see it in each sentence.

So I managed to get an early release of this amazing book and really loved it. Mindcull is a fast moving tension filled thriller which had me in its grip from the first page! The characters are powerful and the plot enthralling. I love action packed YA and this is one to have on your 2019 list when it’s released!
Such an amazing book! I couldn’t put it down! I would especially recommend for people who love technology but it is an amazing read for all! KH Canobi’s futuristic world in the book ties in perfectly with the story!
I loved, loved, loved this book. What a cracking debut novel, KH Canobi. I couldn’t put it down. Whatever you do next, don’t stop writing!
Mindcull sucked me in. This book is a very easy read. The prose is accessible for young readers. Descriptions of people and places are intentionally pared back, and the language and writing style do not make demands of older readers. It took me three or four pages to come to terms with this and to relax into the mood of the book.

Excellent book. Explores some very profound questions of reality and identity which are very relevant to teens. Enjoyed it a lot.
This is a curiously compelling thriller that sets your mind whirling with speculation. After an initial period of accustomization of where and why (and wrapping my head around a slew of acronyms I thought I had to remember), this YA thriller settled into a convincing mystery of deceit and apprehension.

I like reading novels by Aussie authors. This one did not disappoint. It was engaging from the start and in the middle I had one of those "it's midnight & I need to get up early tomorrow" moments! I enjoyed the "not to distant future" VR and ever increasing time spent online-too close to real life for me. The exploration of that theme was the biggest positive from this novel for me (loved the strong female characters too). I will be recommending it to high our school students.

The storyline of this book is very intriguing and keeps you engaged right until the very end. It is well crafted and entwines VR into an exciting adventure. Looking forward to another book by KH Canobi.
A young adult fiction book that is set in a world where today’s technology might have evolved to. It was interesting to think about the virtual world of relationships versus relationships in real life. It got very exciting towards the end. Look forward to reading this author’s next book!
Loved this book. Strong female protagonist with vulnerabilities - she felt very real. Surprising plot twists. Raised interesting questions about the intersection between virtual reality and the real world. I enjoyed the story and it made me think. Win!
I really loved this book, KH Canobi has created a really well rounded protagonist, strong and weak in ways that are so real it took me back to being a teenager myself. Can't wait to read what Canobi writes next.

Refreshingly free of insta-love. An original story with familiar VR aspects and great intrigue. I really liked how it touched on some possible social and mental wellbeing impacts of AR and VR
I really enjoyed this book!
This book was really good I could not put it down it was exhilarating and is a must read.
Eila is short-listed in a Virtual Reality competition to become the Face of Pearl. All she needs to do is go to a luxurious English getaway and enjoy sessions in fully immersive VR SkinSuit technology. After being kidnapped and forced to spy for the law, Eila has to decide who are the right people to trust, and who to save.

Review originally published on my blog here!
A spectacular, fast-paced read! The writing was crisp, yet left me with enough detail!
This book provided me with a quite well-rounded and strong main character, Eila, as well as an interesting villain and side characters. The plot was also clearly well though out, and I just had to keep reading!
As a fan of tech-based stories, this book takes filled that need!

A fabulous debut novel that sets a fast pace to keep the pages turning and doesn't stop until the end! Canobi creates a world that allows the reader to be easily drawn in and follow Eila on her desperate journey to uncover a shocking truth.
