Narrator

The narrator's voice was so monotone and dry I quit after about 15 mins.

An intriguing thriller with a rushed ending

*I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.*

Heather is a successful woman who seems to have everything. She suddenly starts noticing small unexplainable events that seem to indicate somebody is stalking her and wants her either dead or destroyed.

I found characters other than Heather were underdeveloped, which would not allow the reader to make any assumptions about who might want her dead. The story makes sense until we get to what feels like a rushed ending of the "some time later" type that is made happy with no explanation as to why or how they got there. We also never find out why other characters like her husband were behaving the way they did.

The story was quite intriguing and kept me hanging until the stalker is unveiled.

If you're plot driven and enjoy not knowing who the culprit is, this book may be for you.

For readers of BA Paris

I spent most of the book feeling confused. I couldn't tell if scenes were in the present or flashbacks. But most of my confusion stemmed from the blurb being slightly misleading. I didn't really feel the tension that a suspense novel usually envokes. If you like the domestic thrillers of B.A. Paris then I recommend trying this book
The narrator, Amanda Parrott, did a good job. I had no problem telling characters a part and the story was easy to follow (even with my confusion) with a mild amount of distraction.

Anticlimactic

I waited and waited for something interesting to happen and nothing ever did, right down to the end. I’d save the credit. I did like the narrator though.

Very good!

Wow...This book caught me and held on. I kept going back and forth on who I thought was trying to make her seem crazy, and at one point, I thought maybe she was hallucinating...but...the end. Well, it proved I was wrong on several occasions. lol
The author is very talented and I will be looking for more of her work, for sure.
The narrator was perfect for this story. She made me believe in each character by telling this story, and not reading it to me.
Enjoyed this very much!

Keeps you guessing until the end

Well written, performance was perfect. Through the whole story I kept going back in forth on who could it be? Is she just crazy? Didn't see the ending coming. Well done!

Review: You’re All Mine

My thoughts:
This domestic psychological thriller was engaging and the narrator made it a pleasant listen. I was intrigued by the prologue and had to know more!

I didn’t particularly become attached to any of the characters—especially Heather. I didn’t understand some of her actions and at times I questioned if she was an unreliable narrator. I was happy to see a thoughtful conclusion to Heather’s ordeal in You’re All Mine. While this story wasn’t exactly the “gripping page-turner” I expected, I did want to see who was behind it all and was surprised by the reveal!

I enjoyed Amanda Parrott as the narrator. Her interpretation of the different voices, I thought, were excellent.

3.5 stars
You're All Mine is touted as a psychological thriller, but I would add the word domestic to that. So, a domestic psychological thriller. It definitely has some mess with your mind moments, but it is also very much a domestic thriller. The story relies heavily on the unreliable narrator, and with as many secrets as Heather has, she’s about as unreliable as it gets.
And that brings me to Heather. Now, I’m just gonna say it. Heather nearly drove me to distraction. This woman had all this crazy happening to her, yet she just keeps right on going, and she made some terrible decisions. She’s so caught up in perception, in what people see and think of her, that she reacts rather strangely. I’m sure that was intentional on the author’s part. If it wasn’t, she couldn’t have done it better if she tried. The above-mentioned unreliable narrator has been done a lot, so I’m probably a bit over-critical of it, but it works for this story and this character.
We do get a good selection of characters to be the villain, plus there’s Heather, herself, and every single one of them could’ve very easily been that villain. Now, here’s where I’ll tell you that I did have it figured out pretty early. That said, I still second guessed myself a few times, so Ruth Harrow did a solid job of dangling carrots that led in the wrong direction—something any good psychological thriller should do.
The narrator, Amanda Parrott, was new to me, and I’ll admit that I wasn’t quite sure about her style for this book, but she grew on me. She has a sweet-sounding voice that worked perfectly for a big part of the dialogue. I especially liked it when someone was being sarcastic or contrary because Parrott did it exactly as I’d expect from those characters.
The story does jump back and forth in the timeline, and sometimes those jumps can be a bit jarring, but I finally noticed little differences in past and present, and it all started to fall into place. I will say that the ending for this one wasn’t what I thought it would be, especially with knowing the identity of the villain. I expected part of the reason for it all, but the rest of it was not at all where I expected it to go. Oddly, that wasn’t a dealbreaker for me. I will say that when you find out who the villain is, you can look back at some of the conversations, and it clicks.
Unreliable narrator, predictable villain, timeline jumps—yes, this one has all of those, but what it comes down to whether I kept listening all the way through. I did, and I’m not sure if it was Heather’s bad decisions or the narration or the story itself. Or maybe it was a bit of everything. Whatever it was, I wanted to see if Heather would finally make some good choices. I wanted to see how it would all play out, so it’s certainly worth the listen. These characters are the kind that get under your skin, and even when you want to shake the daylights out of them, you still want to see where things go for them. I’d say this one would appeal to anyone who enjoys domestic thrillers.

Fantastic Voice Artist

Good thriller. Even if you see the end coming, it’s a journey worth taking. Very talented voice artist.
