like always I  want to say a  huge  thank you to the publisher Penguin Random House, the author Camilla Bruce as well as NetGalley for letting me read and review The Blood We Share ,Wow my type of novel , because up until now  I haven't had  heard anything  about the Bloody Benders, or even seen anything about them at all, so as soon as I got the ARC of All The Blood We Share ,I went and looked up the family,  and read about them and their case . And I was completely surprised and shocked because like I said their a family that no body talks àbout at all, so even though this is a historical fiction story based on their lives and crimes and there so little to go  about them and the their victims  , the author  does amazing job of bring it too life , the people , the time line, the victims,  it pulls you in and makes you ask questions, as well as feel for their victims.

A sinister novel based on the real Bloody Benders, a family of serial killers in the old West bound by butchery and obscured by the shadows of American history.

The winds shift nervously on the Kansas plain whispering of travelers lost and buried, whispering of witches. Something dark and twisted has taken root at the Bender Inn.

At first the townspeople of Cherryvale welcome the rising medium Kate Bender and her family. Kate's messages from the Beyond give their tedious dreams hope and her mother's potions cure their little ills—for a price. No one knows about their other business, the shortcut to a better life. And why shouldn’t their family prosper? They’re careful. It’s only from those who are marked, those who travel alone and can easily disappear, that the Benders demand their pound of flesh.

 

But even a gifted seer like Kate can make a misstep. Now as the secrets festering beneath the soil of the family orchard threaten to bring them all to ruin, the Benders must sharpen their craft—or vanish themselves.

Camilla Bruce is a Norwegian writer of speculative and historical fiction. She has a master’s degree in comparative literature and has co-run a small press that published dark fairy tales. Camilla currently lives in Trondheim with her son and cat.
