ABOUT THE BOOK

She lost her sister. Then she lost herself.

Elara has always lived in the shadow of her identical twin sisters. When one of them is found dead on Bodmin Moor, the death is ruled an accident – but Elara is determined to uncover the truth.

When Halley’s body is found on the moors, the death is ruled an accident. Elara refuses to believe it – and seizes the chance to be seen at last by uncovering the truth. Even if it puts her in danger.

The novel also features an asexual protagonist – a perspective still rarely explored in mainstream thrillers.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT IT

Twisty, complex, and deeply emotional. Nothing is as it seems in Dyer’s psychological thriller. WE ARE MONSTERS asks us who the monsters truly are – and if we’re prepared to face them.
Pintip Dunn, New York Times bestselling author 

A dark, contemporary psychological thriller, with incredible twists and multi–faceted characters. There are some tough themes woven into this book, but they are dealt with sensitively and form very much part of the storytelling for each character. I found myself questioning my own judgement on who was right/wrong, and how we define that.
D.E. White, author of The Girl on Floor 29

I lost so much sleep over this book! Dark, atmospheric and oh–so twisty, WE ARE MONSTERS is a complex and layered psychological thriller that I’ll remember for a long time.
Roxie Key, author of The Deadly Spark
