What an amazing thriller this had so many twists and turns I felt like I was on a rollercoaster and I love a good plot twist fantastic

What a story. Sash is one really strong character. Difficult to read at times because of the content. Birth is one of those events that is full of expectation until something is not as it should be. Sash had the experience trying to get pregnant. As well as what happened next

Loved the way the author interwove layers into the story

Worth a read

This was an emotional and such a pulling psychological thriller. I didn’t want to put it down, I needed to know what was next. Is she unwell after her accident or is the baby not hers?

This was a brilliant read. As soon as I started reading this book I just knew I was going to love it. Highly recommended

With thanks to Netgalley and the author for allowing me to review this book.

Mine.. is a fast paced thriller that deals with Sasha who thinks the bay she has taken home from the hospital isn't her's, but no one believes her.

Mine kept me guessing throughout. a great read.

This novel is about a Sasha, new mother who just cannot accept that the baby she's been given is really hers, and struggles to get anyone to believe her. But deep down, something is right.

As the reader, you question whether or not Sasha right? I mean she has a beautiful baby, but she is adamant he isn’t the right one, so where is her son? And if her baby isn't the right one, then where is her own son?

The book flowed really well until the final third and then it felt a bit too rushed, I would have liked the scenarios to be played out properly.

Gosh, this was one of my biggest fears when I was pregnant with my little girl - that my baby would be taken somewhere and the wrong one delivered back to me. That sentence makes it sound as though something like this happens often, which I don't think it does. However, it shouldn't really be happening at all though should it? You put your faith into the system and the people who are there, in their field, delivering your baby, to give you the correct one back. I wouldn't sound so judgey if I had gone into Argos to pick up my click and collect order, as those mistakes are easily made; two Holloways, or a similar looking address, you know, simple things. I would me a bit miffed if a stranger got my Russell Hobbs kettle instead of myself, a little mistake that is easily rectified. But my baby? My baby is no Russell Hobbs kettle, that's for sure!

I'm going off kilter here, apologies. If you haven't guessed already, the main theme surrounding 'Mine' is a new mother being adamant that she was given back the incorrect baby. She has a strong gut feeling that the baby in her arms is not the one she birthed, yet nobody believes her. Everybody thinks she's going crazy, being unrealistic, causing problems for nothing. Is she right though? Has she been given the incorrect baby and, if so, where on Earth is her baby....and who on Earth has them?

It was pretty evident that the author had a medical history as the storyline contained a lot of medical words and situations which would only ring true if one had experienced them first hand. I think that Susi Fox's history helped her in creating the suspenseful undertone to the storyline, and I felt that it gave the book the strength that a thriller would need to stand on its own.

There were a lot of moments where my eyebrows received very good workouts throughout the story, and I felt a little bit disheartened by just how outlandish the storyline seemed at times. I felt as though the author had veered a bit too far left at times which diminished a sense of credibility overall. That said, I enjoy novels that push the boundaries as long as they make them as realistic as humanly possible (unless it's a genre that is known for its outlandish, unrealistic stories), and I think that 'Mine' does push the boundaries on several occasions rather well. I just think that at times it went a bit too far and left me thinking 'ermmmmm, you what?'.

The undertone of the storyline is definitely thrilling and intense, and I couldn't help but second guess things myself as I was reading the book which I truly grabbed with two hands.

Whilst my overall opinion on 'Mine' is on the fence, I did appreciate the attention to detail on the medical point of view, and the memorable, chilling events of the majority of the novel. This is definitely a unique read, one that was executed cleverly at times.

This is every new mums worse nightmare. You wake up after a cesarean and ask to see your baby but the baby they show you is not yours. The staff don't believe you, even your own husband doesn't believe you. And so begins this tense drama, if you are a nail biter - wear gloves. Definitely worth a read.

A surprisingly good read and very interesting although I’m a bit sceptical about the way the story opens.

I keep questioning myself if I’d know my own baby if I had a caesarean and was put out, would I question when I woke up and my baby was placed in my arms, would I question if this was my baby?
Unless I was put in that situation I guess I’d never know.

That aside, the book was full of twists that will get you tied up in knots, hidden secrets.

Definitely worth your time.

The ending let it down though.

I really enjoyed reading this. It's not my usual genre, I wanted to try something different for a change, and I'm glad I did. 
I can usually tell, from the very first page, if I'm going to like a book; this one got the thumbs up.
Sasha is a well respected Doctor working in pathology. She and her husband, Mark, have been trying to get pregnant for years and now it is actually happening. At 35 weeks Sasha has to have an emergency C-section under general anaesthetic. Its much later, when Sasha gets to visit their son, Toby, in the special care nursery. She's expecting to feel the massive surge of love she's heard other new mums talk of. So, shes confused by her lack of emotion for him. Putting it down to exhaustion she tries to shake off her unease, but, somethings not right. Sasha just knows he isn't hers, but nobody believes her. Worried about her mental health the Doctors put her on medication and admit her to the mother and baby unit as a psych patient. As a Doctor, Sasha knows theres been baby mix ups in hospitals before, but nobody will listen to her. They all think shes going mad, then she starts to believe that, maybe she is too.
So, is Toby her and Mark's real baby, is Sasha crazy?
You'll have to read it to find out. 
I couldnt turn the pages fast enough to get the truth

What a brilliant, heart stopping, hand over your mouth read. I hope there is more to come from this author so I will be watching this space...

I raced through this book in a few hours and really enjoyed. It does cover quite a few dark, sensitive subjects including fertility issues, miscarriage and mental health so just be aware if any of this is a problem for you personally.

Imagine waking up after an emergency caesarean and being convinced that the baby you are given isn't yours and no one believe you. Not the nurses, consultants or even your own husband! Total nightmare scenario! I was gripped by the story and the way even as a reader you weren't sure who was telling the truth. The conclusion was a surprise.

Recommend for sure.

This book may not be for everyone as it deals with some tough subjects of miscarriages and mental health. I could not get enough of the story and was praying for Sash to get her happy ending. An absolute page turner and a must read book.

After waking from an emergency caesarean, you're dying to see your new baby. But when you're introduced something is wrong.

This is not your child.

This is a great debut from the author!

It has you on the edge of your seat, it is a great thriller.

It makes you question so much and give a good insight to mental health and anyone who has ever felt temporary insane!

I loved it!

Mine by Susi Fox is a well written book with an interesting idea, but slightly unbelievable in places.

Mine is an interesting psychological thriller, just reading the synopsis invokes intrigue, the author manages to keep everything under wraps until the last pages, with an unexpected and surprising end.

Sasha and Mark have wanted to be parents for years, after several miscarriages, treatments and many disappointments, the day they will finally see the face of their daughter is getting closer. All plans are thrown up in the air when Sasha needs an emergency cesarean section several weeks before the scheduled due date. She wakes up in a hospital room, alone, in pain, not knowing if her daughter is okay or not, until a nurse tells her that she has had a child and that she is in the incubator. When she gets her to see her baby she does not have a moment of doubt, that child is not hers. She has spent months in her womb and is convinced of it.

This is the beginning of the nightmare in which she finds herself in, nobody believes her. Starting with her husband who says he has not separated from his son, the hospital staff says it is an impossible mistake. She is sure her son is not who they say and others are convinced that she is suffering a kind of psychosis that prevents her from bonding with the baby so Sasha is admitted to the psychiatric unit, from where she will try to find out what happened with her son while trying to convince everyone that she is not crazy.

Mine is narrated in first person by Sasha so the reader will feel her pain, fear and anguish for not finding her son, because no one believes her, and even for suspecting in some moments if you may be losing your mind. Some chapters are narrated by her husband Mark, which gives us a glimpse of their past, how they fell in love and their day-to-day life.

Although it is easy to emmpathise with Sasha and her suffering, there have been times when I doubted her, her mental health and her motivations

The ending is, as it should be, surprising. I did not expect it and I am not convinced by how quickly the conflict that is so important throughout the novel is resolved.

Mine is an agile and fluid story that will keep us stuck to its pages while we suspect everyone, including the protagonist, Sasha, who in the search for her son will make important discoveries about her own family and about the relationships parents, mothers and children, and on whether love is above biology (or not).

Thanks to netgalley for the opportunity to have sampled this entertaining read. I enjoyed the book and can't wait to see another from this author.

This book kept me gripped throughout, but I was exhausted reading it. It is very dark and challenging and I found myself empathising with the frustrations of Sasha, whilst also examining the other characters for plausible evidence or otherwise. There are twists as you would expect, some predictable, others not. The ending I am still trying to process, such strong maternal instincts throughout and yet at the point where I feel as a mother I would be screaming and raging, there is a real volte face!

One thing's for sure: if I ever go to Australia, I'm going to make jolly sure I don't end up in hospital. Because if they're anything like the one portrayed in this book, I think I'd plump for the alternative outcome of whatever necessitated hospitalisation. I really, really can't believe hospitals…maternity ones in particular…are that draconian or the staff that unprofessional. Thank god for the NHS.

The poor woman who's fallen victim to this Victorian treatment is Sasha, who, after an emergency premature birth, doesn't believe the baby is hers and has been switched: accidentally or intentionally. But no one takes her fears seriously, apart from her best friend, and she's therefore transferred to what is, basically, the psychiatric section of the hospital. There are a few twists and turns before the rather unbelievable end.

What keeps running through your mind is: a DNA test by the hospital would be the obvious solution, but for some reason, is deemed unnecessary by the doctor in charge. And I suppose it would be a very short book and not a rather repetitive one.

Oddly compelling, strangely enough, but somewhat implausible: a decent plot whose potential is wasted.

I loved this book. It was a heartbreaking read, it was certainly one of the most touching books I’ve read in a while because the author draws the characters so well, you really feel for Sash and are as frustrated as she is that no one is listening to her. It's an unpredictable twisty, turns read which leaves you guessing, unsure as to what will happen next or who the baddies are! My opinion shifted constantly, she had the right baby, she didn't, she did! Great intrigue!

This book is a real tear jerker with a poignant message at the end, cleverly done! I would recommend.

Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for my advance copy.
