I lived and breathed every second and flew through the pages – desperate to keep reading but not wanting it to end. Wholly originally and utterly compelling, this is an incredibly tense book that is also full of regret, guilt and love. Blood Like Mine will grip you from the first page and keep you prisoner until you turn the last page. I absolutely loved it’ C. L. Taylor

‘A nerve-jangling thriller that is also a hugely touching meditation on a mother’s love’ Christopher Brookmyre

‘Every year, I read one of two books that are truly special . . . Blood Like Mine deserves to sell skip-loads. No, JCB digger-loads. HBV lorry-loads!’ Fiona Cummins

‘At its core, Blood Like Mine is the story of a mother's unconditional love for her daughter, and that gives everything that happens – the growing horror, the murders, the frantic desperation – an almost unbearable emotional punch.

‘[A] mesmerising mash-up of crime, psychological thriller, horror and (unexpectedly, unless you spot the clues) fantasy . . .

‘Truly outstanding’ heat, Book of the Week

‘Blood Like Mine is a violent blend of crime and horror that plays with the definitions of predator and prey. However, the story’s real heart comes from its exploration of family and its consideration of what a mother will do for her child . . . That, ultimately, is the great horror that makes this twisty, relentlessly paced novel shine’ New York Times

‘An astonishing blend of crime story and horror novel with some superb characterisation, this will chill and – thrill – your blood’ Best
