Kate Bradley worked for many years managing services for people who are marginalised by society; her work has taken her into prisons, mental health hospitals and alongside the homeless. She currently works in education. She holds a first-class degree in English Literature, in addition to qualifications in creative writing and teaching. Kate lives in a small coastal town just outside of Brighton with her husband and sons. To Keep You Safe is her debut novel.
An addictive, original and brilliantly twisty thriller that asks how far we might go - and how much we'd be willing to sacrifice - to do the right thing

Karen Hamilton
A clever, chilling and compelling debut, well-paced and well-plotted. I raced through the book in a couple of days, but it will take me far longer to let the characters go! This is a well-written and cleverly-plotted debut in which Bradley explores some interesting themes with sensitivity and skill. She has created damaged and flawed characters who are very convincing. The twists start coming from halfway through the book and they just keep on coming. Highly recommended!

This story is built on shifting sand . . . every time you think you've got it worked out there's another twist waiting just around the corner. Kate Bradley has created a truly remarkable novel and I can't wait to read her next one
James Carol
What starts on familiar ground as a psych thriller set in a secondary school swiftly descends into far darker territory with very believable protagonists
- Jenni, a kick-ass heroine, and Destiny, the lost teenager in deep danger that she is determined to save. A nerve-shredding ride through the most brutal layers of the criminal underworld, the story pulls hair-raising moves and unveils some truly shocking twists. The question is: who is saving whom?
A. K. Turner
Follow a mad and sad series of events that point out what is drastically wrong with the systems in place, but captures you with its action, heart and drama.

Cracking, heart-stopping and twisty.
David Nicholls
Has you flipping pages in a hurry to see where it's going ... plenty of twists and turns, a few moments where my mouth
fell open in shock, and an ending that leaves you feeling nicely unsettled. A clever read.
Woman's Way
There are thrills, chills and spills to relish in this clever, compelling debut which delivers shocks at every turn ... Emotionally harrowing, page-turningly compulsive, and graphically, viscerally real.
