BECAUSE YOU’RE MINE [2024] By Kristopher Triana
My Review Five Stars*****

I have been a steadfast Triana fan since “Gone To See The River Man”, and I have read novels of his from vastly different genres, Organized Crime, Occult Horror, and more recently Survival Horror (“The Old Lady” which was bloody fantastic).

So, I will go on the record here and acknowledge that this novel was more than a little bit different than his usual fare, that I have read in any event. Perhaps that is a redundant point ...more

3.5 stars.
Bryan cares for his physically and mentally unwell mother, who he despises. Shelby is a nurse with a dark secret who may be of more use to Bryan than he initially realises.
