You Will Be Mine by Natasha Preston, 292 Pages

You Will Be Mine by Natasha Preston is a Young Adult thriller. The book kept my interest from the first page, but some of the story was so ridiculous that I found myself actually laughing out loud while reading it. For example- main character Lylah is literally surrounded by death. Her roommates are being murdered and she continues to talk about the crush she has on one roommate, even describing a morning as "the best morning ever", even though 3 of her best friends had died not even 48 hours before. I also didn't love that the characters all placed the blame on someone very early on in the story, but the ending made up for a little of it because I didn't completely see it coming.

Lylah and her 5 roommates are getting ready for a night out when a note arrives. The note is addressed to Sonny, one of the roommates, and seems to be an attempt at a funny Valentine's Day themed joke. The rest of the group quickly forgets the note even happened and head out for the night, but Lylah is having a hard time letting it go, feeling like something bad is going to happen. Lylah's worries are validated when Sonny doesn't return home and later is found brutally murdered on campus. Panic ensues when another note arrives, informing the next roommate that they are next.
