Review:
"Terrific...The city’s vibrant, exciting, dangerous atmosphere is superbly portrayed" (Marcel Berlins The Times)
"Johannesburg is fertile ground for a crime writer... Strong and vivid, City of Blood is the coming-of-age story of both Siphiwe and the slightly older Progress... There is plenty of action, but also, amid the chaos and carnage, a sense of redemption" (Guardian)
"Explosive and emotional, a journey to the dark side you won't forget" (Dreda Say Mitchell)
"Shows how a simple act of kindness can have catastrophic consequences... Villiers gives an urgent desperation to the mounting danger as her tale heads towards its grand-scale showdown" (Metro)
"MD. Villiers' remarkable debut novel is a coming-of-age story, fast-moving, thrilling and thought-provoking. Her plot is well-developed, her prose lively, occasionally lyrical but always clear and direct...[she] writes a mean action scene. Her characters too, are a joy" (CrimeTime)
