Mindscape is a fiction novel by Indie Author Lynn Taylor with T. A. Books. You can find her on TikTok, YouTube, or on the T. A. Books website.

Mindscape follows Heather, a 23 year old New Yorker. She’s having a really hard time. Life just isn’t going her way. She kind of just goes through the motions of her day. She has a boss who doesn’t like her, and the feeling is mutual. She has a terrible history with guys. She can’t seem to keep over her ex. She refuses to let herself move on.

Lucas, her neighbor, gives her these pill to try in order to escape from her everyday life. They induce lucid dreaming.

At first, Heather really likes it. She enjoys the vivid colors and creative landscapes. She has this incredible creative power that she doesn’t seem to have in her real life.

However, this heaven away from reality takes a turn as she gets stuck in her mind. She has to face these boxes filled with traumatic events from her past in order to get herself out.

For anyone who has done their own shadow work, inner child healing, or who has had regular bouts of therapy sessions to deal with trauma, this is a story you can probably relate to.

Lynn Taylor does an amazing job with putting the reader into the heart of the story. I could visualize everything going on and could feel Heather’s desperation, her fear, her frustration, and her sense of accomplishment when she succeeds. From the descriptions of the action scenes (of which there are quite of few heart-stopping ones), I would honestly love to see this in graphic novel form.

I absolutely love this book. I highly recommend this book.
