Publisher's summary

Insecure misfit Ioni Davis never thinks she’ll find love in her sleepy West Virginia hometown. Then the tall, fascinating stranger Raber Belliveau transfers to her school.

Their attraction is instant and red-hot. And a shared fascination with witchcraft bonds the young lovers even closer.

But while Ioni is responsibly studying her newfound religion of Wicca, Raber has chosen an altogether…different path.

Soon, Raber’s behavior becomes manipulative. Even abusive. And their love story for the ages is turning into a macabre farce. All Ioni wants to do is get out.

But Raber has discovered a dreadful way to control their relationship. A ritual which hasn’t been attempted in over a century. A spell to unleash a bloodthirsty terror which can never be satisfied.

Ioni finds herself trapped in a struggle for her life and even her free will against a once-trusted lover who has assured her…

You’re mine.

Great, fast read. Nostalgic and shocking. Loved it

First off, You’re Mine blasted me right back to high school in the early 2000s. With the Satanic Panic of the 80s and 90s dying down, Wicca in that time was still extremely taboo. But that doesn’t stop witchcraft from appealing to high school couple, Ioni and Raber.
Set in a small town, these two start off on the same path of joining a local coven, until Raber takes a darker turn and befriends Andrew at college. Ioni decides Raber has changed into someone she no longer recognizes, nor wants to associate with as she completes her apprenticeship into her new witchy community.
This story took the biggest twist I never saw coming. This isn’t my first Somer Canon read and definitely won’t be my last. Ioni’s character was so relatable as a high schooler and young adult. Her character arc is just… wow. Raber’s as well. Canon weaves this crazy tale that doesn’t just end when you think it might. There was a chapter that, when it ended, I was still holding my breath and unable to turn the page to read on.
I hate spoilers in reviews. But let me just say, when you think Ioni and Raber’s relationship is going south, it keeps going further south. I’ve never read a relationship that goes nearly as far as what Somer Canon has created here. She has done a great job of setting the bar for dysfunction.
Great, fast read. Nostalgic and shocking. Loved it.

Wow, is all I have to for a moment. . .

This is about a gothic senior in high school that falls in love, finally. Although, her friends don’t care much for him, Ioni loves Raber. She loves their/her new sex life and their shared instrests in Wicca. Until Raber moves off to college, then things.. change.

I almost put this one down. Im glad I didn’t. After a couple things were explained, and I realized it was just how that character was, it QUICKLY drew me in and kept me.

Me spouse would ask me what was wrong, when I would express shock, disgust, and even moments of lust. Yeah, there were some sexual scenes.

Easily, in my top 3 for this years read - so far.

I highly recommend!

Chilling and blood-boiling! SUCH a great tale!

You’re Mine by Somer Canon is a story that everyone needs to visit twice at a minimum. Already a chilling story about jealousy, possessiveness, and the quest for control, I was so pleased to find that it is even more potent in the audio version. Narrated by the amazing Clare Radix, literally hearing a lot of the dialogue that the author wrote is absolutely blood-boiling!

I will shout from the rooftops about this story. Not only will it totally suck you in with the amazing writing and the overall plot, but it is also such a great book with many lessons packed in. I really wish I had this book when I was in high school!
