Once, Beth was a different person, convinced she was living her dream life with the enigmatic wellness group, Elixir. But when that dream became a nightmare, she had no choice but to run, no matter what – or who – stood in her way.
Ten years later, exhausted and struggling with the pressures of motherhood, she receives a mysterious letter bearing only the infinity symbol, and knows immediately it is from them.
The past she’d run from has finally caught up with her, and the secrets she’s tried so hard to hide will soon be uncovered. Can she finally escape them for good, or will her freedom pay the ultimate price?
If wellness is the new religion, what happens when it’s taken too far?
Lizzy Barber’s first novel My Name is Anna was a Daily Mail First novel winner, whilst her follow up Out of her Depth was a Richard & Judy pick and has been optioned by Eleventh Hour Films. She read English at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. She has worked in acting and film development, and has spent the last thirteen years working in the restaurant business with her brother Jamie, heading up their brand and marketing department. They have a small group of restaurants in London: Haché, Hush and Cabana.
“There’s no better escape than one of Lizzy Barber’s smart, seductive thrillers. She’ll hook you with an intriguing mystery, but she’ll keep you up with her fabulous characters, with all of their weaknesses, spite and charisma.”
– Abigail Dean, bestselling author of Girl A
“Lizzy Barber’s novels are so well written, gripping and emotionally intuitive, I read each one in awe and then eagerly await the next. Be Mine is a tense, richly textured and unsettling novel that will linger in my mind for a long time. Appointment reading for fans of complex characters and compelling human dramas.”
– B.P. Walter, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Dinners Guest
“A cultish, moreish page-turner. Lizzy’s very engaging writing style combined with the sinister plot is the perfect combination.”
– Emma Curtis, bestselling author of The Commuter
“I adore Lizzy Barber’s novels and this is her best yet. Be Mine is not just a gripping thriller, but a chilling portrait of the vulnerability of new parenthood and of the dark allure of the cult of so-called ‘wellness’. Every new mother will identify with Beth as she struggles to reinvent herself, haunted by the ghosts of her past… I loved it!”
– Katherine Faulkner, author of Greenwich Park
“As immersive as it is chilling, Be Mine explores the thin line between wellness and the toxic pursuit of perfection. Set against the gut-wrenching haze of postpartum, this slow burn suspense destroyed me by its final pages thanks to Barber’s signature, sensational plot twists. Forget Kool-Aid. Grab your copy of Be Mine and drink the deliciously dangerous Elixir.”
– Elle Marr, Amazon Charts best-selling author of The Alone Time
