Synopsis

In this chilling follow-up to Blood Like Mine, one mother faces the ultimate supernatural horror: the monster she must become to protect her child. El Paso, Texas: Rebecca Carter awoke on a morgue table with only two desires: to find her daughter, Moonflower; and to sate her gnawing hunger. Rebecca sets out on a desperate quest, fighting her murderous craving for blood, and pursued by a vengeful FBI agent. Alone in the wild, Monica Carter survives on whatever small prey she can hunt down. But she needs more. One night, a young man lures her through the mountain scrub with the scent of human blood, promising he and his little brother will feed her and keep her safe. Somehow these brothers know her nickname—Moonflower—and the truth of what she is. She needs them—but can she trust them? When FBI Special Agent Sarah McGrath learns that Rebecca Carter’s body has disappeared from the morgue, she’s on the next plane to El Paso. Rebecca is responsible for the death of her partner, and McGrath wants answers, but she never expected them to come from a shadowy figure within the Bureau … In this breathtaking follow-up to Blood Like Mine, Stuart Neville, “Stephen King’s rightful heir” (Will Dean), brings to life the ultimate horror: a mother who has been separated from her daughter, and who can stop at nothing to be reunited.

You need to have read Blood Like Mine for the full experience of this, but Blood Like Ours takes us on a horrifying journey. Thanks to NetGalley for giving me the chance to read and review it before publication, and my mind is already whirring as to who/what will be the focus for book three. Rebecca......more

4.0 / 5.0 This book is chaotic, dark, deep and gory. I realised now that actually this book is horror so if you’re not great with blood, blood talk and gore this book maybe will not be your cup of tea. Another thing to mention is that this book follows on from the events of the first book, I don’t th......more

4.5 Loved this book, more so than the first in the series which I also enjoyed. The story picks up shortly after the end of the first and follows both Rebecca and her daughter as they try to find each other. There are some new characters and back stories, one in particular that breaks up the main sto......more

Well I did it again, I requested a book, because I love the authors work, without realising it was a vampire novel. Should have realised as the title is very similar to his first foray into this genre. Luckily the writing is excellent so it became an enjoyable read but I really wish the author would......more

Goodreads review by Ini on August 21, 2025

A lot of parental dread in this one. I liked the different take on the bodily transformation trope. There’s a lot of moral ambiguity. No one emerges on the side of angels. Everybody has something to hide. A mother has to decide how far she will go to ensure her child’s survival. A child who is no lo......more
