Today’s post is on You Will Be Mine by Natasha Preston. It is
304 pages long is published by Sourcebooks. The cover is dark with a box in the
center with a flower and note in it. The intended reader is someone young adult
and likes popcorn horror. There is mild foul language, no sex, and mild violence
in this book. The story is told from first person close of the main character.
There Be Spoilers Ahead.
From the back of the book- ROSES ARE RED VIOLETS ARE BLUE WATCH YOUR BACK I'M COMING FOR YOU
Lylah and her friends can't wait to spend a night out together. Partying is the perfect way to let loose from the stress of life and school, and Lylah hopes that hitting the dance floor with Chace, her best friend, will bring them closer together. She's been crushing on him since they met. If only he thought of her the same way... The girls are touching up their makeup and the guys are sliding on their coats when the doorbell rings. No one is there. An envelope sits on the doormat. It's an anonymous note addressed to their friend Sonny. A secret admirer? Maybe. They all laugh it off. Except Sonny never comes home.

Review- This is a fun, popcorn intro horror novel. The
characters are pretty normal for a young adult horror story with the damaged
but brave heroine, the cute want-to-be boyfriend, and the grisly murders that
happen off camera. Preston does not break any molds with this novel but she
does make good intro horror. This is perfect for a person who wants to get into
horror or who likes a little horror but not too scary. It has some intense
moments but nothing that will give the reader nightmares, just a fun little
chills. The killer was a little bit of a surprise but I was just glad it was not
the boyfriend, that would have been to cliché for me. Fun beach read for the
light horror fans.
I give this novel a Three out of Five stars. I get nothing for
my review and I borrowed this book from my local library.
