I received this book for free. This does not impact my review in any shape or form.
You Are Mine, by Vera Turner, is a dark, romantic novella about the rewards of preserving an obsession, no matter how sick it may be. Matthew is stalking a young woman named Holly. He’s fallen in love with her and dreams of having a family with her, despite her not knowing him. Holly, on the other hand, finds herself at the hands of a gruesome man who manages to corner her into a game of cat-and-mouse. As she struggles to escape his grasp, she gets a sickening feeling that he tempts her more than she realizes.
For all its twists and turns, You Are Mine is more straightforward than I anticipated. The obsession between Matthew and Holly was mutually there, and while the attraction was reminiscent of the marriage between Charles Manson and his followers, it was nonetheless entertaining. I enjoyed how honest Holly was with herself; it made things a lot easier in the end. That being said, I could’ve done without the urine. I also wish there were more survival horror and thriller elements embedded in the plot, but I was satisfied nonetheless.
As such, I would give this book a 3.5 out of 5 stars.
