A psychological thriller with such a fantastic twist that throws the reader for the best loop! The prologue sets the scene with a woman who has been earning to be a mom for the longest time, but the reader doesn't know who this character is - not until the end! Claudia is pregnant and her husband will be headed out to sea with the Navy, so they decide to hire a nanny to help with the twin boys and the upcoming arrival. Zoe is the nanny and the reader gets to read from her perspective as well - so glad!
I loved that as a reader I was kept out of the dark at times and some chapters I didn't even know the character who was doing the talking - sometimes it is nice to be left out in the dark! I also loved reading about the two investigator's home lives and how that affects them during the investigation into the murders. It was nice to see that they had a home life beyond the job.

This was a great psychological thriller by Samantha Hayes. She is a new author to me and I'm eager to read more of her books.
Claudia is 8 1/2 months pregnant. She's married to James, who is in the Navy and step-mom to James' twin 4-year-old sons. She is working as a social worker and as her husband will be on a submarine somewhere when she delivers, she is looking for a nanny to help out.
Lorraine is an officer of the law. Her newest case involves the murder of a pregnant woman and her baby. The woman was cut open, resembling a Cesarean Section. Having children of her own, and having problems with her husband, isn't helping with her efforts to concentrate on the case.
Zoe applies for the position of nanny. Zoe has secrets, one being that Zoe is not her real name. So who is she exactly? And what does she want?
The chapters alternate between the three woman. Sometimes its hard to tell who is speaking for a moment or two. Extremely well written. Lots of roller coaster twists and turns. The final twist is a real eye-opener. Will leave you flabbergasted.
Highly recommend this one to anyone who likes a psychological thrill and a humdinger of a mystery.

I read this book in two sittings. It is very suspenseful, and the twist at the end will make you want to read it again immediately to see what clues you missed the first time.
Until You're Mine by Samantha Hayes centers on three women Claudia expecting to bring her first baby home soon, her nanny Zoe with secrets of her own, and police detective Lorraine investigating brutal murders. The main premise of a woman's need to be a mother and the extreme measures she will take to achieve that end is promising. Unfortunately, the book gets bogged down in unlikable characters and irrelevant side plots.
