‘Wow, just WOW. I’ve waited a long time for a crime novel to do something different, to keep me guessing, to blow me away – this is that book . . . 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. I've not read anything quite like this before, and once it sank its teeth in, I was utterly gripped . . . and I'm eager for more’ Tim Lebbon

‘A masterclass in storytelling, Blood Like Mine is a dark, chilling tale that will grip you from the very first page. Steeped in the emotion of love and loss, Neville's characters are captivating and leap off the page to grab you by the throat – this is a story that you won't forget’ Sam Blake

‘A visceral, cinematic masterpiece. Silence of the Lambs filtered through the lens of prime Stephen King. You won’t read a more gut-wrenching novel this year’ Ed James

‘[A] mesmerising mash-up of crime, psychological thriller, horror and (unexpectedly, unless you spot the clues) fantasy . . . Surely indebted to Stephen King for the deftness with which it embeds the gothic in everyday Americana, Blood Like Mine gains in power as it advances towards a denouement that shows Marc and Rebecca as doppelgängers’ Sunday Times 

‘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
