I was absolutely captivated by All the Blood We Share.

Chilling, terrifying, utterly addictive, All the Blood We Share is a beautifully written, spellbinding read for 2023

—— Karen Coles, author of The Asylum

As disturbing as it is compelling, All The Blood We Share is a grisly triumph, and one that cements Bruce's reputation as a must-read author

—— Fantasy Hive

Praise for Camilla Bruce

—— -

Got me out of a reading slump! Dark glee, tragedy . . . fans of my story The Corset will gobble this up

—— Laura Purcell

Dark, twisted and dangerously addictive

—— Sam Lloyd

A brutal and compelling tale that starts as a revenge story but quickly becomes so much more. Clever, shocking and horrific in places, it's the sort of book for which the phrase 'page-turner' was invented

—— Lucie McKnight Hardy

Come for the fabulous premise, stay for the razor-sharp portrait of a marvelously complex (and often totally terrifying) mind. I was a big fan of You Let Me In, but Camilla Bruce has absolutely outdone herself with Bella Sorensen and Triflers Need Not Apply

—— Laird Hunt

Explosive . . . If you like true crime, you'll devour this chilling story

—— Woman's Weekly

Deliciously dark, wickedly observed with a protagonist who will haunt you in the best way. Utterly gripping, chillingly compelling - you won't read another story quite like Bella's

—— Miranda Dickinson

Loved this fascinating tale of how a woman's pain turns to rage and then murder. A dark, thrilling ride into a world of revenge. Oh so satisfying

—— Julie Owen Moylan

A perfect read for any crime fiction fan. A chilling immersion into the mind of a serial killer - dark, seductive and addictive. A truly gripping read

—— Lia Middleton

Based on a true story, with dark humour throughout, you will be hooked

—— Prima

Extraordinary. Bruce does a marvellous job of reimagining this real-life murderer, without excusing her crimes

—— The Times

This gory fictionalisation of her story is also a great character study

—— Best

Explosive . . . If you like true crime, you'll devour this chilling story of revenge

—— Woman

Chilling. Camilla Bruce's adept reimagining of this compelling historical figure is difficult to forget

—— Gazette and Herald

You'll veer between pity and loathing for the main character, with perhaps a touch of horrified admiration at times

—— The Hunsbury Handbook

A teasing, atmospheric mystery set against the background of a hot summer in New York.

—— SAGA 'Book of the Month'

The tension and foreboding builds gradually in this outstanding gothic debut, allowing readers to savour Ann's voice. The disturbing account plays with class differences and women friendship, set against a medieval, academic atmosphere sheltered from the city.

—— LIBRARY JOURNAL *Starred Review

'Beginning with every parent's worst nightmare, Andrea Mara's new book serves up another terrific hook that immediately draws the reader in. No One Saw a Thing is a fast paced family thriller that will keep you turning the pages'

—— Sinead Crowley

'Incredible thriller, amazing premise, Andrea Mara always delivers on twisty addictive pageturners. An adrenaline rush of a book.'

—— Sophie White

'Another delicious slice of domestic noir from Andrea Mara, No One Saw A Thing has a great hook, an ultra-satisfying ending and all manner of twists, lies and deceit in between.'

—— Catherine Kirwan

'A palpable sense of menace hangs over Andrea Mara's latest thriller which packs punch after shocking punch. Talk about suspense! No One Saw A Thing is a gloriously tangled, whiplash-inducing, electrifying read. I couldn't put it down and I can't recommend it highly enough.'

—— Amanda Cassidy

'Andrea Mara smashes it yet again with a story you simply cannot set aside! A pacy gritty acutely observed nightmare chase through London - helped or is it hindered by a group of toxic friends. My heart was thumping right to the end!'

—— Gill Purdue

Praise for Andrea Mara

—— :

'Next-level domestic suspense - even the twists have twists. I loved it - Andrea Mara is a star.'

—— Lee Child

'Original, clever, and unputdownable.'

—— Sarah Pearse

'A relentless, twisting page-turner, Hide and Seek delves deeply into every parent's worst nightmare. A first-class thriller.'

—— Chris Whitaker

The twists keep coming as the action rockets back and forth in time exposing the terrible truth that binds the friends together and eventually wrenches them apart.

—— The Gloss

Mara is truly gifted at this kind of story, and this is a proper page-turner, with several cliff hangers and plenty of red herrings. As the action progresses, the pace intensifies to a pulse-rising intensity . . . A most satisfying thriller.

—— Sunday Independent
