Now You're Mine picks up where the first book (Once You're Mine) left off.  

**Spoilers if you did not yet read the first book. **

The book starts off with Calista finding the pearls in the pocket of Hayden's coat and realizing HE is her stalker.   I expected a lot more emotion out of Calista when this happened but I was disappointed.  

Calista is LESS oblivious during this book but more insufferable. Her and Hayden go on a "vacation" of sorts and he surprises her by paying for school - Which she is excited about.  However, when he gives her a laptop for said classes THAT was drawing the line.  Her reactions didn't make sense.  

Her reaction to receiving the laptop as a gift is probably the most emotion we see out of her during the entire book.  YES, even when she finds out Hayden's dirty little secret.  

The ending happened rather abruptly and mostly while Calista was unaware so it was rather anticlimactic. 

Overall, I was rather disappointed in this. There is sooo much potential and I think the author has great plots, they just need to be explored more.  This could have rivaled Haunting Adeline for me, but instead of fighting sex trafficking, a vigilante that "takes care" of dangerous criminals who evade the justice system.  Add in the search for WHO is responsible for the starburst pill.  The author can write interesting characters (I love Harper). I will keep an eye out for more releases because while I was disappointed in this, I see the potential.
