Six strangers, an art retreat by a lake, a dark history/mystery, and mounting danger! Now You Are Mine is an atmospheric psychological thriller/mystery that kept me on my toes. This book is told through past and present storylines. It is evident that all the characters have secrets but one of the secrets is more dangerous than the others.
Polly has signed up for an art retreat in the Lake District. It will give her the break she needs, and it doesn’t hurt that she will also be able to look into her mother’s family history/past. At the art retreat things begin to get creepy. Someone has painted something sinister onto her painting, the owners are receiving threatening messages, and the guests are on edge. Then one of them goes missing.
Polly is scared that a stalker who terrorized her and her roommate may be back. But maybe there is someone who does not want her to learn about the family she never knew, or are the strange happenings due to another threat???
This was an interesting and intriguing story. I was fully invested in the beginning and for most of the book. There are quite a few characters in both timelines and readers are given multiple character’s POV. There are quite a few creepy moments, lots of tension, suspense, and mounting danger. The setting in the Lake District provided a nice amount of atmosphere which I enjoyed.
This book kept my interest throughout, and I had a good time trying to develop my suspect list.
Atmospheric, mysterious, and suspenseful.
