U R miNe

by T.J. MacGregor

A serial killer is stalking blondes in the central Florida city of Oxford and his MO is eerily consistent. On a new or full moon, he sends his target a stalker letter that implies he has been watching her, that he knows her schedule, that she is his. Two weeks later, on a new or full moon, the woman becomes his “lunar kill,” a sacrifice to the Roman goddess Diana that satisfies the dark urge that drives him.When 27-year-old Laurie Brautigan, a blonde artist and dog walker, receives a stalker letter on the day of a new moon, she initially thinks it’s a cruel joke perpetrated by someone she knows. But Detective Nick Finley, who has been investigating these murders for months, convinces her otherwise, and Laurie’s life is turned inside out by terror and suspicion.What the killer doesn’t know is that both Laurie and Nick possess rare talents that they struggle to keep secret. She’s a psychic whose specialty is animal communication and Nick, the son of two mediums, talks to the dead. When Laurie reads the only witness to the murders, a dog that belonged to one of the victims, the dead begin talking to Nick. Racing against time to find the killer before the full moon, the very talents Laurie and Nick have tried to keep secret not only draw them together, but become their greatest allies.

U R miNe by T. J MacGregor has hooked me on the first page already. The introduction and references towards the Roman Goddess Diana and how the victims are chosen has astounded me.
Throughout the first few chapters, there were more Roman references and as someone who has a certain favor for Roman mythology, it has given me quite the positive outlook on the story. U R miNe isn’t a typical stalker story, the uniqueness of the cause and how victims are chosen relies heavily on belief and premonitions, at some point, even the appearance of the victim. Laurie does indeed have some similarities to Diana, her relations with dogs implies that and gives her the image of one being similar to the revered Goddess.
I’m not usually a fan of mystery and stalker-like story plots but this certain one has piqued my interest and deserves all the praise.
