Blood Like Ours (The Blood Trilogy)

Rebecca Carter had seemingly faded into the great beyond after being killed by a relentless federal agent. Her daughter, Moonflower, was left to fend for herself, a young girl needing the comfort and protection of family. Moonflower is an atypical child; even though she walks and talks, she is undead. Moonflower’s condition led to a constant need for blood to satiate her intense hunger; her mother helped satisfy this craving by targeting child predators. Now, Moonflower walks the lands of the Southwest with packs of dogs surrounding her, a nagging voice urging her to embrace her feral nature. She encounters a pair of young men who appear friendly and offer her a gift: a bound and helpless woman to feed off of. Moonflower joins the brothers, Will and Jacob, on their westbound trip, but grows increasingly alarmed by the brothers’ delight in their bloodlust.

Blood Like Mine marked a new literary path for Stuart Neville, a brilliant writer of crime & mystery fiction (“The Ghosts of Belfast”), and this fascinating continuation proves his narrative prowess is multi-genre. “Blood Like Ours” is gripping, suspenseful, and filled with enough chilling moments that will set the reader’s teeth on edge.
