Be Mine By Lizzy Barber

DON’T DRINK THE KOOL-AID!

Be Mine follows Beth, who relocates from London to San Francisco in search of a fresh start and a clean break from her past. But despite the change in scenery, her daily life remains monotonous—just a cycle of work deadlines and unfulfilled potential. She still hasn’t found her place or purpose—until she meets Marissa and is introduced to a mysterious program called Elixer.

At first, Elixer seems like exactly what Beth needs—a holistic wellness initiative focused on both mental and physical health. But as Beth becomes more involved, it becomes clear that there’s much more to Elixer than meets the eye.

This is a slow-burn, addictive psychological thriller that delivers jaw-dropping "holy shit, I did not see that coming" moments. A chilling cult thriller, Be Mine pulls you into a world of manipulation, control, and creeping dread. With twists and turns at every corner, it keeps you second-guessing everything—and just when you think you’ve figured it out, the story takes another shocking turn.

Told across dual timelines and locations, and interwoven with excerpts from the Elixer manifesto, this novel demands to be devoured at breakneck speed. If you're drawn to dark, twisty psychological thrillers with cult themes, unreliable narrators, and truly unpredictable endings, Be Mine needs to be your next read.
