This was definately a slow burn for me i found it a little predictable and had a hard time connecting with the characters however the presimse of the story was an interesting.

Blanche is the daughter of Chuck Varner the shooter of the Harlow Mall Mass shooting. Blanche had done everything to put Chuck and the shooting in her past. Until she finds out about the death of her mother, Crissy. Blanche knows this wasn't an accidental robbery shooting that it has something to do with her Father. Blanche then goes on to discover skiing with the police what actually happened to her mother.

I would like to thank Simon & Schuster Canada, Simon & Schuster and Netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Nathan Ripley just keeps getting better. I loved his best selling first novel, so I knew I was in a treat when I received a review copy of this second one. I was NOT disappointed.
Ripley has a talent for making really creepy people seem almost normal. In this one, the daughter of a shopping mall mass shooter who thought she'd left his weird cult following behind when she changed her name and walked away from her mother at 16, suddenly finds herself pulled back into his madness as she investigates the murder of her mother years later.
Through Blanche, her best friend, the local police, a reporter and a cast of supporting characters, Ripley relentlessly pokes at the madness and motivations of the now dead Chuck Varney and his wife Chrissy while spinning out a murder story that will keep you riveted to the page, while making you cringe every time you walk into a busy mall or down a crowed street.
A great story, destined to be another best seller.

3 stars for me ! It is not that I didn't like the book overall but I found it slow to get into but once I did then it kept my attention and once Blanche went home when she learned her mother died, the pages started to turn quickly.

Perhaps it was just that I am not a fan of cults but I did love Nathan Ripley's thriller Find You in the Dark.

Having said all that Your Life is Mine is definitely worth the read.

I dont even know where to start with this book. It's so different from any other book I have read but I loved every second of it ! It was super creepy, and weird but in an awesome way ! What a great book and I recommend for sure! Well if you're into cults and weirdness but in a good way !

The first chapter had me hooked! The middle was slow, and it was hard to stay interested. Then the end came and i couldn't put the book down again. Some good twists.

I found that this book was difficult to get into. The blurb promised an interesting story line, with some interesting characters. However, I found the story to be dull and dragged out. The characters were one dimensional and none were really that likable. It was a quick read, although I did skim through some of it as I neared the end and things were being repeated for the third or fourth time.
