1.5 StarsDisclaimer I won this book in a First Reads giveawayFORE YOU BEGIN READING THIS REVIEW, PLEASE KNOW THAT IT IS LOADED WITH SPOILERS You should honestly read this review anyway, because I wouldn t recommend this book to anyone anyways.I m finally that person writing a negative review in contrast to all the many positive, glowing reviews When I first read the description of this book and entered the giveaway, I was SO excited I even told a bunch of my friends about it, and created a waiti [...]

This is an absolutely stunning read It is a psychological thriller told from three different points of view, that of Claudia, her nanny Zoe and Lorraine, a detective Claudia and Zoe s stories are told in the first person, and because each character has a very distinct, individual voice, it works from the very first chapters It seems to add to the chilling feel of the book as right from the start you are completely immersed inside the minds of two of the main characters, living the story with the [...]

When I read the awful Close My Eyes last month, I stated my desire to stop reading these chick lit crime thriller things Yet here I am, a few weeks later, reading another one It has practically the same cover as well woman with one eye apparently being the new shorthand for sinister goings on in the upper middle class suburbs , AND it s centred around a character who is desperate for a baby In my defence, I d had Until You re Mine waiting to be read for months, having obtained an advance copy th [...]

This was amazing I thought I had this one all figured out and then the last few chapters blew my mind and theories serpentine to shreds That endings marvellous.This was a very complex mystery thriller crime novel full of twists and turns and surprises I was actually so surprised by the outcome that I had to reread the ending.From the very beginning I was hooked The prologue is so powerful I was still thinking about it on the last page.Speaking of last pages, the epilogue had me trying to turn th [...]

3.7 rating I kept thinking about the movie The Hand That Rocks The Cradle Actress Rebecca De Mornay plays the nanny Zoe Harper , nanny extraordinaire, in Until You re Mine , and Rebecca De Mornay have a few character traits in common Creepy qualities Its a family affair haha , with Zoe watching the young twin boys of James and Claudia Claudia has another child due soon Zoe is hired to help James leaves home for work for long stretches He s a Navy Officer.While the family drama is happening an in [...]

This was a great psychological thriller by Samantha Hayes She is a new author to me and I m eager to read of her books.Claudia is 8 1 2 months pregnant She s married to James, who is in the Navy and step mom to James twin 4 year old sons She is working as a social worker and as her husband will be on a submarine somewhere when she delivers, she is looking for a nanny to help out.Lorraine is an officer of the law Her newest case involves the murder of a pregnant woman and her baby The woman was [...]

WOW What a stunner Now THAT S the way you do it Samantha Hayes has written a masterful tale of questions, suspense, and puzzling characters Nothing quite makes sense until EVERYTHING makes sense This was extremely well written and well developed, impressively so Every base is covered No loose ends And in the end, we had a perfect, completed jigsaw puzzle worthy of shellacking and hanging up on the study wall AND possibly THE BEST last line of my entire reading lifeAVO

2.5 StarsI love a good Psychological thriller and Until You re Mine by Samantha Hayes is one of those books that has you hooked from page one.I loved the plot of this novel You have something that someone else wants at any cost Claudia seems to have the perfect life She s heavily pregnant with a much wanted baby She has a wonderful husband and a home that is the envy of many But then Zoe comes into her home to help Caudia when the baby arrives and Claudia soon realises that Zoe is not all she cl [...]

Was 3.5 4 Good twisty escape read with an escalating sense of menace There were a few character inconsistencies and maybe one too many unnecessary side plots thrown in but they didn t really detract from enjoyment Last sentence made me smile and round up Audio version had v good narrator only caveat story told from alternating POVs and you had to pay attention to know which character you were listening to Not a serious problem, though.Read Melissa s, Kelly and the book boar s, and Maureen s revi [...]

I m joining in again with Throwback Thursday which was created by my good friend Renee at It s Book Talk She started this weekly feature as a way to highlight old favorites and read books that have already been published I have so many older books on my TBR that get ignored in favor of review copies and I figure participating in Throwback Thursday will help me to read at a least one older title a week Until You re Mine has been recommended to me times than I can count and I bought it forever ag [...]

Claudia Morgan Brown was eight and a half months pregnant and ecstatic after many miscarriages and stillbirths in the past Her husband James was a devoted father of four year old twin boys, Noah and Oscar their mother had passed away from cancer while they were still babies, so when James and Claudia fell in love, everything seemed perfect But James was also a submariner in the Navy where he spent months at a time at sea So it seemed like a sensible idea for them to hire a nanny to help Claudia [...]

I have just finished reading UNTIL YOU RE MINE by SAMANTHA HAYES link here on I ve not read any book by this author before, so she has been a really new author to me and one that I will be watching for and reading books she already has out.I don t like giving too much away about the story as it tends to spoils it for the reader, so I am going to say its a psychological thriller I was hooked from beginning to end The writing was free flowing, easy to connect with the characters and so intriguing [...]

Wow, what a great psychological thriller I don t want to give too much away, so I just want to say that this was very well written, the plot was clever with some surprises, and the main female characters were strong and easy to relate to This story felt very real.I found this very hard to put down, especially during the second half of the book The last few chapters had my head in a spin.I really look forward to reading by this author, and would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good realist [...]

Rating 4.0 StarsThis was a great psychological thriller by new author Samantha Hayes This book was really easy to read There are three main characters each of which get a chapter of their own and then it switches back to the first and so on I enjoyed this style of writing as I got to read about the same or similar scenes from than one perspective The PlotClaudia Morgan Brown is pregnant, very pregnant and she needs a nanny to help with her 4 year old twin step sons and soon to arrive new baby g [...]

Once started I couldn t put it down I read it in one day.I found the story line a little unbelievable at times, but otherwise a great read.3 stars plus 1 for the last line.

4.5 starsWhat a great read Every time I pick up a suspense, I m hoping for a story as smartly crafted and unpredictable as this one There s nothing better than thinking you know exactly where a story is headed, only to watch it all unravel into something else entirely By the end, I was shocked, a little creeped out and feeling like I had been completely duped Would you like me to tell you about the others The story is told through the eyes of three very different women Claudia a pregnant woman , [...]

This book is a seriously disturbing novel that probes into the mind of a mentally unstable woman and her longing to have a child of her own In this book, we follow two Detective s, a husband and wife team, who are trying to solve a series of brutal attacks and murder on specific women that have had a history of drug and alcohol abuse, whom are vulnerable and alone, and heavily pregnant Whilst also struggling to hold their marriage together due to infidelity issues, a rebellious teenage daughter [...]

I have previously read a book by Samantha Hayes and I really enjoyed it, I enjoyed this one but not quite as much I won t go into the plot as it would be easy to give spoliers away but this is a psychological thriller which is creepy, suspenceful and keeps you thinking I was quite captivated with the majority of the book but I was disappointed in the end.

I m a little grumpy writing this review, because although this was a fun, twisty, fast paced book, I stayed up much too late finishing it And it wasn t quite good enough to warrant me falling asleep at work and requiring multiple teas because unfortunately, the appeal of coffee escapes me I m giving Until You re Mine 3 stars because although I don t have many complaints, my inner book snob sorry can t justify 4 for this type of book It is exactly the prose you d expect from a slightly silly and [...]

When I read the synopsis of Until You re Mine, I was immediately curious Although not a mother myself, it struck me that a story about a pregnant woman with creepy nanny could be one of those edge of my seat kind of books because the stakes are so very high Until You re Mine is told through three perspectives Claudia who is finally pregnant with her first child after years of trying and heartbreak, Zoe the nanny who seems too good to be true and Lorraine, the police office investigating a rash o [...]

Quando parti para a leitura deste livro nunca pensei que tinha nas m os um dos thrillers que mais gostaria de ler este ano.Com um tema forte, envolvente, aterrador, At que Sejas Minha, prendeu me logo E confesso que foi dif cil conseguir parar de o ler.O leitor vai sendo testemunha da hist ria atrav s do relato do dia a dia de tr s personagens Claudia, Zoe e Lorraine O final, sinceramente, n o me surpreendeu assim muito, porque fui tirando algumas conclus es ao longo do livro, atrav s de algumas [...]

4.5 StarsI can t say much about this book as I wouldn t want to spoil it for anyone BUT if you love a get your teeth stuck in, gripping, hand that rocks the cradle esque, fucked up psychological thriller then you will love this.I had a small problem with it and when I find out how to add a spoiler so you can t see it unless you click on it I ll tell you what it is lol but it didn t ruin the experience I really enjoyed this one.

Mijn 4e read van mijn 2018 to read list, zo gaat ie goed Dit boek stond al eeuwen op mijn to read list en toen ik deze prachtige cover voorbij zag komen op de Deventer boekenmarkt nam ik hem gelijk mee Op kun je het niet zien, maar de cover is zilver en shiny Super mooi Gelukkig is niet enkel de buitenkant mooi, ook de binnenkant is goed, erg goed zelfs In dit boek volgen we Claudia Claudia is hoogzwanger, haar man is een marinier en vaak lang weg en tevens is ze stiefmoeder van een tweeling Leu [...]

Warning this is not a good book to read while you are pregnant If you are pregnant buy it for when you are cradling your baby in your arms during those sleepless nights ahead.This is a book starts with the description of a young girl sprinkling her tiny tears doll with magic dust to bring her to life, when the girl has no live baby in her arms by the time she is twelve, she throws her doll onto the fire in disgust.This book is dominated by mothers mothers to be and women who long to be mothers, [...]

I see the community is divided on their ratings feelings of this book Most don t like it or really like it I m one of those that really liked it It was a twisted thriller with a super creepy epilogue Look forward to Samantha s next book.

Until You re Mine by Samantha Hayes is a 2014 Broadway Books publication I was provided a copy of this by the publisher and Blogging for Books in exchange for an honest review I am a huge fan of psychological thrillers because of the unusual twist and turns and and how tense the atmosphere is This one had me on edge even than usual due to the emotional subject matter Someone is trying to steal babies they are actually born removing them from the womb of the mother, often taking the life of both [...]

A random and fairly quick holiday read Certainly not a bad book though not exactly flawless I did work out some of the plot but not all and I enjoyed it I d read another by this author

Cometi a idiotice de ler a review que aparece em primeiro lugar, aqui no GR, antes de ler o livro A dita review tem os spoilerzinhos todos que se possa imaginar E eu li E depois comecei a ler o livro, j a saber ao que ia Ainda assim, foi uma leitura empolgante Foi muito interessante ver como a autora deu a volta a tudo de maneira a todas as pe as encaixarem no final Foi um bocadinho como ver um corpo de dentro para fora, primeiro o esqueleto, depois o resto Gostei mesmo muito Se gostam de polici [...]
