<i>You Can't Hurt Me</i> is a smart, wonderfully chilling debut - a gripping narrative with an unforgettable sting in its tail

Sabine Durrant

An elegantly-written novel that is as gripping as it is thought-provoking, this is a compellingly twisty thriller which explores brilliantly the relationship between pain, memory, our bodies and ourselves. An absolutely gripping read which comes together with a neatness that is both satisfying and chilling.

Ellery Lloyd, author of the New York Times bestseller The Club

This is a psychological thriller of the classier variety: notably well written, and tight with dark and disturbing tension. I was hooked

Emma Cook's tightly woven thriller proves that the worst pain isn't caused by physical wounds, but by the emotional harm we inflict on one another

Tara Laskowski

An exceptional debut: tense, taut and thrillingly original. Emma Cook writes beautifully

Sharon Bolton

A slow-burn, atmospheric and literary thriller full of menace and secrets with some killer twists

Catherine Cooper

An assured debut that is as fresh and exciting as it is dark. Deft handling of sensitive subject matter: sex, power and control

Lisa Ballantyne

Original and chilling, <i>You Can't Hurt Me</i> is a captivating psychological thriller told in striking prose. As the pace ratchets, this smartly constructed story draws the reader towards a breathtaking conclusion. An assured, complex, and gripping debut.

Sunday Times bestselling author Lucy Clarke, author of The Hike

Edgy, cool and intriguing - such an interesting premise for a novel. I really enjoyed it.

Harriet Tyce

Engaging debut...Written with style, it reveals that no one can be trusted in a world dominated by pain.
